FAQ
Questions plumbing operators ask us.
How does Servinix handle emergency plumbing calls after hours?
The Servinix AI answers 24/7. You configure emergency rules — which issues trigger an on-call dispatch and which get scheduled for first thing morning. The AI collects the issue, assesses urgency, and acts accordingly. Your on-call tech only gets paged for true emergencies.
How does the automatic payment link work?
When a tech marks a job as complete in the Servinix mobile app, the system automatically sends the customer a payment link via text. The link covers the invoiced amount for that work order. Payment hits your account within 1-2 business days. No manual invoicing required.
Can I track which plumbing tech is closest to an emergency call?
Yes. The live dispatch board shows every tech's GPS position in real time. When an emergency comes in, you can see who is nearest and reassign in one click. The tech's app updates instantly.
Does Servinix plumbing software handle recurring maintenance customers?
