Replacing the Clipboard and the Group Text With a Handyman App
What Paper Was Doing
Paper carried the list, the address and the notes. The group text carried changes. The app has to do both.
One Week Overlap
Run paper and the app side by side for a week. Then drop paper.
Move the Lists First
Make sure every customer list is on the job before the switch.
End the Group Text for Jobs
Keep the group text for team chat if you like, but job changes happen on the board.
Check the Result
After a month, compare missed items and calls to the office with the paper month.
