Book
Book and prepare the visit
Larry books the job on your dispatch board and sends a confirmation text. The office and technician can see the call summary, customer history, and job details before the visit, whether the issue is a broken spring, an opener that stopped working, or a door off its track.

Estimate
Give the customer clear options
The technician documents the problem, builds an estimate, and presents the recommended repair or replacement. If the customer approves the work, the job, invoice, and payment stay connected to the same record.

Follow up
Follow up on work that wasn’t approved
A customer may choose the immediate repair and put off a new opener or door. Podium finds open estimates that need attention and starts the follow-up, so the opportunity stays visible after the technician leaves.

Field service management
Run repairs and installs in one garage door field service platform
A repair call and a new door installation need different work in the field, but both need a clear schedule and a complete customer record. Podium brings them into one place.

Dispatch urgent repairs with the right context
See the issue, address, conversation, and appointment together on the dispatch board. Assign an available technician and give them the details they need before they arrive.

Keep replacement estimates moving
Build and send estimates from the field, track what is still open, and follow up when a customer needs more time to decide on a door or opener upgrade.

Know the customer before the next call
Podium’s CRM keeps conversations, service history, estimates, and job notes connected to the customer. When they call again, your team can pick up where the last visit left off.
Communications and marketing
More ways to grow your garage door business
Podium brings customer communications and marketing into the same platform as your field service operations, helping you turn more conversations into booked jobs and more customers into repeat business.
Communications

Bring calls, texts, and web leads into one inbox. Larry can answer common questions, collect job details, and book appointments while your team handles the work already on the schedule.
Marketing

Ask customers for reviews after completed jobs and reach back out to past customers with relevant offers. Keep your business in mind when they need another repair, a new opener, or a replacement door.

Why speed and follow-up matter
Answer first, book the job, and keep every open estimate visible.
