How Snake ‘n’ Rooter increased dispatch productivity by 20%.

Praxedo significantly enhanced the operational efficiency of Snake & Rooter Plumbing by replacing their outdated manual processes with a streamlined digital solution. Before adopting Praxedo, the company relied on carbon copy paper invoices and communication via CB radios and physical maps for dispatch. This antiquated system was slow and cumbersome, leading the company to seek a digital alternative that offered real-time communication, job tracking, and invoicing capabilities. With Praxedo, Snake & Rooter’s 30 field technicians now use tablets integrated with the Praxedo app, allowing them to access GPS directions, job details, and historical service records before arriving at a site. This integration has not only improved customer service by providing instant access to job history but has also optimized dispatching, invoicing, and overall job completion efficiency.

The benefits of adopting Praxedo are evident in Snake & Rooter’s operations, with improved customer service, reduced administrative errors, and increased job completion rates. The real-time tracking features enable the administrative and dispatch teams to manage operations more effectively, resulting in a 10% increase in jobs completed per technician per month. The company has also achieved substantial time savings and productivity gains, with dispatching becoming more efficient, leading to a 20% increase in productivity.
