Executive summary

A real operating problem, solved across the workflow.

Croft Electric serves residential, commercial, farm and agricultural customers. Its field day changes constantly, so technicians need updated work without returning to the office for paper.

The case for change

Connect the work instead of managing a series of handoffs.

Croft Electric’s experience shows the practical value of connecting live scheduling, mobile work orders, time cards and field communication.

The challenge

Paper handoffs slowed down a changing field day. Technicians needed current assignments without returning to the office.

The business impact

Less travel for paperwork and faster movement from field completion to payroll and billing.

What changed for Croft Electric

The practical improvements behind the result.

01

Change the schedule without calling technicians back

New work orders and updated assignments reach the field remotely, helping the office respond when priorities change.

02

Give technicians the day in their hands

Field employees use ServiceBox on their phones to access assignments and complete administrative work from wherever they are.

03

Close time cards outside office hours

Technicians can finish time cards at night or on a Saturday when needed, supporting more timely payroll and billing.

04

Keep office and field teams in the same system

Shared operational context reduces back-and-forth and gives both sides a more current view of the work.

05

Reduce paper without oversimplifying the work

ServiceBox replaces a substantial portion of the paperwork while preserving the documentation electrical contractors require.
