This is what operating blind looks like
Emergency calls get lost between your answering service and dispatch tool
Techs can't generate quotes or invoices from the job site
No way to run outbound campaigns for maintenance contracts
Per-user pricing punishes you for hiring more techs
Field invoicing. On the spot.
Your plumbers finish the job and tap 'Complete'. The invoice is sent before the van leaves the driveway.
What changes when your tools think for themselves
Auto-dialer for maintenance contract outreach
Power dial through your customer base to sell annual drain cleaning, water heater inspections, and plumbing checkups.
Dispatch board with real-time tech GPS
See where every plumber is. Assign emergency calls to the nearest qualified tech instantly.
Mobile app for on-site quotes and invoicing
Build multi-option estimates from the customer's bathroom. Get digital signatures and payment before leaving.
Flat pricing that doesn't scale with team size
Hire apprentices and journeymen without worrying about per-seat costs eating your margins.
Emergency priority dispatch
Flag urgent calls and automatically identify the closest available tech with the right skills and parts.
Automated follow-up for unsold estimates
If a customer doesn't approve a quote within 48 hours, an automatic text follow-up fires. At 7 days, a call task is created.
Up and running in one afternoon
Set Up Your Service Types
Create job types for emergency repair, scheduled service, inspections, and maintenance. Set estimated durations and required certifications.
Answer Calls with Context
When a customer calls, their entire history appears on screen - past jobs, open estimates, equipment installed. Your team sounds like experts instantly.
Dispatch the Right Tech
Assign jobs based on location, skill level, and availability. Emergency calls get priority routing to the nearest qualified plumber.
Close the Loop
Tech completes the job, invoices on-site, customer pays. Review request fires automatically. Maintenance reminder scheduled.
Why Emergency Response Speed Determines Your Revenue
A burst pipe doesn't wait for office hours. The first plumber who answers and dispatches wins the job. Research shows that responding to a service request within 5 minutes makes you 100x more likely to win the work compared to responding after 30 minutes.
Chillead's automation engine ensures instant response. New leads trigger an immediate text confirmation, email with booking details, and a push notification to the on-call tech - all within 60 seconds. For emergency calls, the dispatch system identifies the nearest qualified plumber and suggests schedule rearrangements to fit the urgent call.
Building Recurring Revenue Through Maintenance Contracts
The most profitable plumbing businesses don't rely on emergency calls. They build a base of recurring maintenance contracts - annual inspections, drain cleaning, water heater flushes, and backflow testing.
Chillead's CRM pipeline tracks every maintenance contract from proposal to renewal. The auto-dialer lets your team power through outreach lists. Automated reminders fire 30 days before annual service is due. When the tech completes the inspection, a review request goes out automatically.
The result: predictable monthly revenue that doesn't depend on someone's pipe bursting.
What the competition is missing
Jobber and HouseCall Pro handle scheduling but have no CRM pipeline, no auto-dialer, and no AI transcription. You still need separate tools for calling, following up, and tracking leads. Chillead connects every step in one flat-rate platform.
