Service Locations: Designed for Shared Sites and Changing Customers

Service Locations: Designed for Shared Sites and Changing Customers

 
Managing service addresses sounds simple—until it isn’t. Large facilities, shared sites, and frequently changing customers can quickly turn address management into an operational bottleneck. This is where Service Locations deliver clarity and control. They are reusable, centralized addresses that can be reused across multiple Requests, Estimates, and Work Orders ensuring consistency and saving time by eliminating the need to re-enter the same address repeatedly.

Service addresses could be added only to Contacts or Companies. However, technicians are sometimes dispatched to shared and recurring locations where tying every job to a specific customer creates duplication and confusion.

With service locations, you can efficiently handle the following scenarios:
  1. Multi-Tenant Hubs
    Think airports, commercial complexes, or high-rise office towers. Different customers from the same location request services, while all jobs use one standardized service address. Dispatch becomes accurate, travel planning improves, and address duplication is eliminated.

    E.g. Vertex Air Systems creates one Service Location for Infinity Tech Tower. Requests from different businesses are linked to this single address, while customer-specific details are captured at the work order level.

  2. High-Turnover Sites
    Ideal for apartment complexes/condominiums, co-working spaces, and shared infrastructure. Customers may change, but the site being serviced remains the same. With Service Locations, you avoid recreating addresses, and continue operations seamlessly—independent of customer changes.

    E.g. SparklePro Cleaning uses one Service Location for Greenview Residences. As tenants change, new customer records are simply linked to the existing, verified apartment address.

  3. Hybrid Service Operations
    Suited for organizations that deliver services on-site, in-house, and perform repairs on their own equipment. By using your own facility as a Service Location, you avoid creating redundant address records for every customer drop-off or internal repair.

    E.g. ProFix Solutions links both customer "depot" repairs and internal maintenance of their own service vans to their Central Workshop Service Location.
