Scheduling
One row per technician
Everyone's week on a single line, one column per day. Each block shows the hours and the client's name. Jobs created from heat-wave calls wait in the “To schedule” tray under the grid.

Each tech on their row, each service call in its place.
From the frozen heat pump to the invoice for the replacement. The client, the address and your technicians' hours stay in one place.

Your day
The first heat wave, and the phone won't stop ringing.
Your techs are in four towns, the schedule is on a whiteboard, the last call is sitting in a text message. At night, hours get rebuilt from memory on the hood of the truck, and the week's invoices wait in a spreadsheet.
What ORYX changes
Four things that change in the first week.
Requests
A service call becomes a job
The client, the job address and the on-site contact are on the request. On a service call, the button says Create job: no quote needed for a heat pump that won't start.

The month's schedule in their pocket
Your technician sees their days ahead of time: a dot per appointment, then the time, the client and the address. On the job sheet, Call, Text, Directions. On the way sends the client a text.

The morning call, invoiced that night
On a finished job, the button says Invoice. The job's lines are already there, with GST, QST and net 30 terms. You click Send to client; they get a Pay online button.

What ORYX doesn't do for HVAC
ORYX doesn't manage recurring maintenance contracts and has no parts catalogue or supplier pricing. For that, you need a specialized tool. ORYX handles the request, the quote, the job, the hours and the invoice.
Questions we get asked
