Revised Quantity and Item Pricing Options

Many field service companies want to exercise control over the prices their technicians and customers see, and Smart Service Update 104 gives users much more control over this information. Within the Settings menu, you’ll find these new dropdown options for Work Orders and Estimates (note that your company may use another, custom term for estimates, like “quotes” or “proposals”):

The selection you make here will dictate the pricing information displayed to technicians in iFleet, and to customers when they receive their copy of your paperwork. Here’s what the different options do:

• Itemized Pricing: When checked, iFleet will display pricing for each individual line item as well as the grand total for all line items.
• Lump Sum Pricing: When checked, iFleet will not display individual pricing information for each line item, but it will display the grand total for all line items.
• No Pricing: When checked, iFleet will not display any pricing information. This will also disable payment collection features.

Also, you can now elect to display item cost information with these new checkboxes within the iFleet tab:

Store Pictures on Equipment

Users can now store pictures and other attachments (such as user manuals) within equipment records in Smart Service and iFleet.

In Smart Service, you can add attachments via the Attachments tab in a customer’s equipment record:

Attachments added here will show up for jobs associated with this customer in iFleet.

When adding a new photo in iFleet, users can opt to associate that picture with an individual piece of equipment:
