Background

Tommy Nelms, owner and founder of Sweeps and Ladders, started out with the mission of providing his customers with top-of-the-line service and expert care. As he began to acquire new customers, Tommy realized that his business needed to run more smoothly.

The Problem

The Problem

Tommy’s CSIA-certified technicians spent tens of hours every week creating paper records for service inspections and purchase orders that would routinely be lost or delayed getting back to the office, costing the business time and money. Eventually, Tommy decided to look at digital solutions to replace his paperwork-heavy processes.

The Solution

The Solution

Despite evaluating solutions such as GoFormz, mHelpDesk, and fillable PDFs, Tommy couldn’t find a dynamic platform that was both easy to use and customizable to meet the needs of his growing business.

Then he found GoCanvas. Within a few short days of signing up, Tommy was already building out digital forms and dispatching tasks to his field technicians. He had finally found a platform that was quick to implement, easy to manage, and contained all the advanced functionality he needed for his service-based business.

The Outcomes

The Outcomes

Within its first year of deploying GoCanvas, Sweeps and Ladders has already seen the benefits of eliminating paperwork.

Previously, technicians weren’t able to create onsite estimates when they visited with clients. Today, GoCanvas allows them to instantly generate customer quotes, review the quotes on their mobile devices, and email copies to customers before even leaving the driveway.

This new process led to improved client interactions and quicker sale cycles, which has accounted for a 40% increase in the company’s overall close rate!

Another major benefit of GoCanvas is service forms. Now, technicians can digitally capture photos whenever they perform jobs, which—in addition to all other information about the job—are auto-generated into a professionally designed PDF for both customer and office staff use.

Now, all Sweeps and Ladders records are automatically stored in a secure cloud database that can be conveniently searched by client name or date… and aren’t buried somewhere in a technician’s truck. Since the company began using GoCanvas for collecting and storing records, it has enjoyed a 35% increase in productivity!
