An AI business assessment is a paid review of how your operations actually run. We follow a job from the first call to the paid invoice and mark the places it leaks: where handoffs break, where work gets rekeyed between systems, where quotes stall before they reach the customer, and where invoicing waits on someone remembering.
The AI business assessment is built for field service companies and service contractors, roughly 5 to 50 people. That includes HVAC, plumbing, electrical, auto, roofing, cleaning, and property maintenance companies, and it works just as well for other service operations that run on quotes, jobs, and invoices. If your team is holding the process together by hand, the time is going into moving the same information from one place to another.
It is not the right buy for everyone. If your processes change every week there is nothing stable to map yet, if all you want is a tool recommendation an hour of reading will get you there cheaper, and if nobody on your team owns operations the report will sit unread. We would rather say that here than after you book.
Most field service companies are not losing hours inside any one tool. They are losing them in the gaps between the tools, at the handoffs nobody owns. In the assessment we look for the highest value places to start, such as:
We show you which of these is worth fixing first, what it would take, and what it would give back. No hype and no generic advice, just a written report you keep. If you want the long version of how the interview runs and what lands in the report before you book, read how an AI business assessment works. When the fix runs on the platform you already use, that work usually lives in our ServiceM8 setup and automation service.
Three steps. Report delivered within 48 hours.
We walk a job through your business from the first call to the paid invoice and mark every point where it changes hands. No prep required.
A specific plan: which handoffs to fix, in what order, and the tools to do it with.
We walk through the report together and answer questions so you know exactly what to do next.
A written AI Opportunity Report you keep, with a prioritized plan tailored to your operations. Built around your workflows, not a generic template.
Every point where work stalls, gets rekeyed, or falls between two people, written up clearly with the estimated time cost per week.
Each opportunity plotted by how hard it is to implement and how much time it recovers. Quick wins are highlighted first.
Named tools with implementation context. Not a list of apps, but an explanation of what each one does for your specific situation.
A step by step starting point so you know exactly what to do first without getting overwhelmed by the full picture.
Hours saved per week against your time value, minus estimated tool costs. Gives you a concrete number to work with.
Heavier lifts ranked by value for after the quick wins are done, so you have a full picture, not just the easy stuff.
A commercial security company on Vancouver Island was running their entire operation on sticky notes and memory. One admin. A couple of technicians. Solid reputation, but every handoff between the field and the invoice was a manual one.
After a workflow assessment, we implemented 5 fixes over 5 weeks: automated lead response, a quote template system, job dispatch tracking, auto invoicing, and a follow up sequence.
The result: admin time dropped from 15 hours a week to 5. Quote conversions went up 30%. Eleven new Google reviews in six weeks. The owner took a full day off on a Friday for the first time in months.
The dispatch and invoicing fixes were built on ServiceM8. If that is your platform, see our ServiceM8 setup service or browse the full range of automation services.
“I honestly thought our business might not be the type of industry that really needed AI. After Kevin helped us complete an AI assessment, my perspective completely changed. We now see clearly how AI can save us time, improve our processes, and make daily operations more efficient.”
Every assessment is run by the ServiceM8 Certified Partner behind ChanAutomation, so the plan is grounded in real field service workflows, not theory.
The interview, the written report, and the follow up call. We map how work moves through your company, mark the points where handoffs break or work gets rekeyed between systems, and rank the fixes by what each one gives back. There is no software to buy to get value from it, and the plan is yours to act on however you like.
After the follow up call, clients take one of three routes: keep the map and build nothing yet, have their own team implement the quick wins, or bring us in for the heavier fixes. The report is written so any of the three works, and nothing about the assessment assumes the third.
