Project Overview
Helping a Backflow Testing CompanyPrepare for Growth
A growing backflow testing company approached GEM WEB LLC for improvements to its existing website while preparing to expand into a new service area. Through conversations about its daily operations and growth plans, we identified a larger opportunity: connecting the company's scheduling, field services, customer management, and billing workflows.
Rather than addressing the website alone, we developed a custom business management platform designed to bring these processes together, simplify day-to-day operations, and create a stronger foundation for future expansion.

The Challenge
Disconnected flows cost time, money and resources.
Manually entering information between applications, sending individual emails, managing communications between office, field and customers was costing the company time, money and endless resources. On top of that, an outdated and at capacity system made each customer cost more than what was optimal.
Coordinating office and field work
Scheduling, dispatching, and field reporting needed to work together instead of relying on disconnected processes.
Managing growing service volume
As operations expanded across service areas, the business needed a more organized way to manage appointments and customer records.
Reducing repetitive administration
Customer communication, billing, and service documentation created opportunities to eliminate repeated manual steps.
The Solution
A Click Worth a Thousand Tasks.
Automated connected workflows allow employees, technitians and customers get more done in less time and with less errors. The goal was to minimize application switching, repetitive tasks, miscommunication and to optimize customer experience. The solution? a single centralized platform to manage fulfillment of service with three experiences for administrators, field techs, and customers.

What We Built
Workflows That Increase Productivity.
Each feature was designed around an operational need, with the goal of making everyday processes easier to manage.
Online Customer Scheduling
Customers can schedule eligible services online, reducing the amount of manual coordination required from office staff.
Smarter Dispatching
Office staff can organize appointments by service area, location, and technician availability with map-assisted scheduling.
Field Technician Tools
Technicians can access assigned work, manage service information, and complete reporting through a dedicated field application.
Digital Service Reports
Service information is captured in structured digital workflows, helping keep customer records and completed work organized.
Connected Billing
QuickBooks integration connects service workflows with invoicing and payment processes, reducing duplicate administrative work.
Automated Communications
Scheduling confirmations and other customer communications can be triggered automatically as part of everyday workflows.
Our Approach
Built around the business, not the other way around.
The project connects practical business needs with custom software and automation.
Understand the Workflow
Map how appointments, service reports, technician assignments, and billing move through the business.
Design Connected Tools
Create dedicated experiences for office staff, field technicians, and customers while keeping information connected.

Business Impact
More than software. Better-connected operations.
The platform introduced new ways for the business to coordinate services, support customers, and manage information.
Online Scheduling Adoption
8%
Approximately 8% of service stops were scheduled online within the first seven months.
Centralized Information
Office, field, and customer workflows share connected service information rather than operating as separate systems.
Less Manual Coordination
Online scheduling, automatic confirmations, and accounting integration create opportunities to reduce repetitive administrative steps.
The biggest improvement is not any single feature. It is having the different parts of the business work together through one connected system.
