Scaling Residential Home Improvement & Contracting Services
The client is a leading residential home services provider specializing in exterior painting, woodwork, gutter installation, and home maintenance. With large teams operating in the field across door-to-door canvassing, sales estimating, project coordination, and subcontractor execution, the company required a unified operational platform to support rapid multi-regional expansion.
Legacy FileMaker Dependencies, Sync Lags, and Fragmented Field Handoffs
The business relied heavily on a highly customized, legacy FileMaker CRM and estimating environment. While functional for early-stage operations, the platform created significant operational bottlenecks and scaling risks as field volumes grew.
- Frustrating Synchronization Lags: Data sync delays ranging from 5 to 45 minutes led to scheduling conflicts and degraded real-time visibility.
- Fragile Data Integrity: Reliance on custom FileMaker databases raised ongoing data corruption and maintenance concerns.
- Mobile & Estimating Limits: Field sales representatives and estimators lacked robust mobile capabilities for offline property evaluations, leading to manual workarounds.
- Siloed Team Handoffs: Disconnected communication between door-knockers (SDRs), project planners, project coordinators, and field crews created operational friction.
