“Before Essential, we had 4 employees that were overwhelmed with manual work, especially with trying to track and schedule upcoming inspections. Essential's automated email outreach and portal allows customers to easily communicate with us. This program has made it easy to receive approvals effortlessly. We can now better focus on customer service and scheduling.”
“For years, we used an Excel spreadsheet to track inspections and a whiteboard for technician schedules. As we got busier, we knew we needed a better way to operate. After looking at many options, we chose Essential. It was the right choice for us. Essential is nice to use, keeps us organized, and automates things like sending job reminders and emailing customers before inspections are due. It has reduced mistakes and made our work easier.”
