Business Process Optimization for HVAC Company

Client Overview:

A HVAC company, Chandler Air, in Arizona servicing the Valley area, generating $1.5 million in annual revenue faced significant inefficiencies in scheduling, inventory management, and customer follow-ups. The company excelled at providing high-quality services but struggled to manage these back-end processes efficiently, which limited its ability to scale and improve profitability.

Challenges:

Inconsistent customer follow-ups meant lost opportunities for upselling additional services or securing maintenance contracts, which directly impacted customer retention and revenue growth.

Manual scheduling caused frequent double bookings and missed appointments, leading to wasted technician time and dissatisfied customers.
Inefficient inventory management led to frequent stockouts and over-ordering, increasing costs and impacting service delivery.
