Assign and track the small jobs that don’t need a full work order
Not everything needs a full work order. Create and assign the small stuff, a phone call, a quote to prepare, a quick message, and follow up on every one from the back office or the app.
With the Tasks Power-Up you can easily create and assign small tasks within OutSmart. Not everything requires a full work order – sometimes it's a phone call, preparing a quote or passing on a short message.
Tasks are ideal for this: small, clear and directly linked to the right colleague. Tasks ensure that nothing falls between the cracks.
Smart tasks that keep your processes moving
You can link a task to a customer or a project, and the responsible employee sees it immediately in his or her overview. Field workers can also receive tasks in the app, for example a request to bring materials or a short extra job during a visit.
Because Tasks is integrated with the rest of OutSmart, they can also be generated automatically. Think of a task that arises after a quote is approved, or a reminder to reorder inventory once an item falls below the minimum level. In this way, Tasks acts as a smart extension of your workflow and processes.
Tasks can also be triggered automatically from CRM+: as soon as a lead reaches the next stage in your sales process, or a quote is accepted, OutSmart assigns a task to the right colleague, including a deadline. You can also set this trigger with a delay, for example a task that only appears a week after a quote was sent, to follow up with the customer.
The result is overview and peace of mind: your team always knows what needs to happen and who is responsible. Tasks don't disappear in a mailbox or on sticky notes, but are followed up in a structured manner in one central environment.
Practical example
An installation company used Tasks to improve the follow-up of quotes. As soon as a quote was approved, a task was automatically created for the planner to schedule the work order. This resulted in faster scheduling and no more quotes being left without follow-up.
