DEMO SCENARIO (SYNTHETIC)
Rebuild tomorrow’s route after a weather delay
1. Create a quote for a property with separate siding, concrete and window services, access notes and an optional treatment.
2. Approve the core scope and deposit. Schedule a two-person crew with a realistic job duration and drive window.
3. Reschedule after a weather alert. Notify both customers, re-sequence the jobs and make sure no crew or access conflict appears.
4. Complete one add-on with customer approval and reconcile the deposit, updated scope, final invoice and payment.

MIGRATION
Plan a controlled data move
Import customer and property records, service areas, open quotes, future jobs, deposits, recurring visits, crew assignments and outstanding balances. Review property notes for accuracy and remove old access or chemical instructions that are no longer current.

A POSSIBLE FIRST BUILD
Scheduling software does not decide whether a surface or chemical treatment is safe. Keep estimates honest about exclusions, obtain approval for scope changes and follow product instructions and applicable local requirements.
