Field ServiceField Service Management4HighOwner$ implied
An HVAC business owner is spending 8-10 hours per week manually chasing job information because his team refuses to use a standard field service management tool like Jobber.
Jobber was not adopted by the team, suggesting either poor user experience or lack of buy-in; the owner is now considering a custom tool to force fit, but adoption risk remains.
