The challenge

Operations ran on shared spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. Nobody could say with confidence what had been completed that day.

Our approach

We modelled the process properly, built a role-aware platform on Postgres, and migrated the existing job history with a rehearsed cutover.

Chapter 01

We mapped the work before we wrote the schema

Two weeks sitting with dispatchers and supervisors, following a job from the phone call to the invoice. The spreadsheets were not the problem — they were the symptom of a process nobody had ever written down.

What came out of it was one operations model: jobs, visits, exceptions and invoices, each with an owner and a status everyone could agree on in a single room.

Chapter 02

One platform, roles that match the org chart

Row-level access in Postgres, approval steps for supervisors, and an activity trail on every status change, so a disputed job has a history instead of an argument.

Dispatchers stopped rebuilding the day in a spreadsheet each morning. Accounts stopped chasing paper.

Chapter 03

A cutover we rehearsed twice

Historic jobs were imported in a dress rehearsal, then again for real on a Saturday, with a rollback path we did not need.

Monday morning the floor logged into a system they had already been trained on.
