A job number, created date, and a simple status (Scheduled \/ In progress \/ Completed) help you track work across the week, avoid double-handling, and make it easier to find job history later.

Those tiny details are the difference between a smooth arrival and a 20-minute delay that blows your whole run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Scope of work\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the part that prevents \u201ccan you just\u2026\u201d from quietly turning into free labour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clear scope explains what the customer reported, what you\u2019re actually doing, and what \u201cdone\u201d looks like.
