We all "service" our customers, but if you provide field service to yours, you'll want Foundation 3000™.

It's one thing to have service features but it's another to have it as part of the overall accounting system. Foundation 3000™ provides you with service features across all the major modules. Including...

  • Historic trace on all customer equipment worked on, regardless of where acquired, with the ability to drill down into past work order detail
  • Powerful Estimate system lets you build Quotations from History, from pre-defined Groups of items or from commonly used Templates
  • Choose wherever you wish to consolidate multiple lines on an Estimate into single totals. Add any number of images or graphics to a Quotation or change fonts in key places to lend greater comprehension for your customers
  • Real-time tracking of Material, Labor and External Expenses with easy Actual vs Estimate comparisons for each Work Order, allowing you to quickly identify areas where you are profitable and where you are not
  • Track Job bid performance against competitors to gain a deeper understanding of how you are doing in your market
  • Purchase Orders can be created automatically from Work Orders and linked so that as parts come in they can be correctly routed to their proper destination
  • Direct Back-and-forth visibility between PO and Work Order or between Invoice and Work Order enables quicker reconciliation of documents and reduces errors
  • Configure checklists and streamline time entry against various Work Order tasks for your Service Reps out in the field using our powerful native IPad capability
  • Any number of electronic documents can be linked to almost anything in the system, including Work Orders, Estimates, Purchase Orders, Inventory items, Bills of Materials, etc.
  • Time sheets can be filled using Direct Entry, remotely via IPad, or Bar Code scanning
  • Job labor is linked to our built-in Payroll system, so that hours and pay types can be fed directly from time sheets when processing Payroll, saving substantial entry time
  • Complete Built-in Rental system enables you to monitor equipment rentals and inter-schedule them with maintenance and repair
  • The Rental system also handles automatic invoice generation for cyclical billing as well as Return reminders. Rental History provides a complete net profit picture for any piece of equipment, detailing all rentals, repairs, depreciation, costs of acquisition and proceeds of disposition.
  • Use Progress billing to handle installment payments for long jobs
  • Set up your trucks as “warehouses” and transfer inventory to them
  • Schedule jobs, and technicians to work on those jobs
  • Set “call-back” alarms to re-visit a site in the future and have the system notify you
  • Include mileage tracking on customer work orders for costing and/or billing purposes
  • Oil and Gas Service companies will love our Job Cost Service features, including the scheduling of technicians on jobs, with the ability to direct them to LSD locations for service work. Once service work is completed on site, techs can capture hours worked on jobs, add inventory items for billing purposes, make notes on work done and work needing to be done for the next visit - all from an Apple iPad. Using the 3G cellular network for live information gives instant access to jobs, rates, inventory and other critical information in the field. Where no connection is found, you can work on the iPad as a stand-alone device, then automatically upload field service data to your company's server once a cell or WiFi connection is established. Create a Field Service Ticket from the device and collect the signature and authorization information from the site foreman, or manager. The system will e-mail a copy to the customer and is ready to back up billing to your customer once a connection is established.
