Dirty Jobs
A clean kitchen is not only a healthy kitchen, but a safe one as well. Although keeping an industrial kitchen clean can be a dirty job, dirty jobs are often the most important jobs. Such is the case of Bryan Exhaust Service, and their commercial kitchen cleaning and repair services. There are thousands of commercial kitchen fires annually, and many stem from poor cleaning and substandard maintenance. Enter Bryan Exhaust Service. They help keep our favorite restaurants and eateries sparkling clean, and safe from dangerous fires. Cleaning grease traps and removing oven build-up may not be glamorous, but any job that helps save lives is a beautiful job indeed.

Exhaust-ing Habits
When Angel City Data met Bryan Exhaust, they had some workflow build-up of their own. They needed to improve their processes when it came to providing estimates, scheduling, work orders, and more. They relied heavily on printing work orders throughout the day, utilizing mounds of paper and loads of ink. They struggled with many things that other businesses struggle with:
Drowning in paper.
Redundant data entry.
Minimal automation.
Inadequate reporting.
The cost of doing nothing was actually costing thousands.
At Angel City Data, we’d heard this all before.
Fresh From the Oven
After listening and learning about Bryan Exhaust’s challenges, Angel City was able to provide a digital transformation. Not only did we reduce their reliance on paper with a custom-built Claris Pro app, but we also automated their processes and streamlined their services. A key ingredient of this effort was the tailored mobile app for their technicians, allowing them to acquire their work orders in-app without physically driving in to the office. All those hours previously spent in LA’s famous rush-hour traffic, are now spent as (billable) time working with clients.
Less gas and paper.
More time and revenue.
Why, Hello Cash Flow!
Like in other ACD systems, we created a job log dashboard, that allows the home base team and field technicians to be on the same page. Using simple taps in their mobile app, techs can now view contact information, effortlessly review work orders, get turn-by-turn directions to service locations, and review crucial job details from one, centralized place. Once onsite, all work is now processed in real time, saving everyone hours throughout their week. Fewer calls, emails, and texts between staff are happening, because updates happen everywhere in real time. Their newest mobile feature extends these benefits to their customers, allowing for the immediate receipt of completed work orders via email and SMS/MMS text message. Detailed deficiency reports are generated automatically upon the completion of every job. These reports are quickly filed and the work performed is now billed within 24 hours – compared to weeks using their previous workflow. These simple changes can dramatically improve a small business’ cash flow.
In the words of the Bryan Exhaust team, having their system integrate with Claris Pro has made their entire team “…more efficient and more productive”.
