Imagi-Tech is a technology company headquartered in Marietta, Ohio, serving field service teams across Western Pennsylvania, including Erie, PA.

Working in Erie

Erie has one of the densest plastics and tooling clusters in the country, and shops here quote custom work constantly, which makes estimating and job costing the systems that matter most.

What we hear from field service teams in Erie is not that technology failed. It is that a whiteboard, a phone, and a paper ticket book were never introduced to each other, so the dispatcher became the integration — carrying the field ticket by hand, daily. custom software development is mostly about retiring that job.

  • Plastics, tooling, and locomotive manufacturing
  • Insurance operations, healthcare, and lakefront tourism

What this actually looks like

Custom Software for field service teams

For field teams the whole project is about writing things down once. Today the tech writes a ticket, the office types it into the schedule, somebody types it again into the invoice, and photos live on a phone. We build the job record so the crew fills it out on a phone in the driveway — parts used, hours, photos, signature — and the office never re-keys anything. The hardest requirement is usually offline: it has to work in a basement with no signal and sync when the truck gets back.

What changes in Erie is tempo: with insurance operations, healthcare, and lakefront tourism nearby, the quiet weeks a custom software development project relies on are shorter than they were, and the end-of-day truck unload comes round faster.

What we would look at first in Erie

  • Whether the dispatcher can finish the field ticket in Erie without opening a second system, before custom software development touches anything
  • What one system that holds the whole job would have to look like before the dispatcher in Erie would trust it with the field ticket
  • Whether the third re-keying of the same numbers would find field service teams in Erie ready, or find them improvising
  • How much of hours between job closed and invoice sent is measured in Erie, how much is remembered, and what custom software development would fix

What changes for field service teams

  • Techs close jobs on a phone before leaving the driveway
  • Office stops re-keying what the crew already wrote down
  • Invoices go out same day instead of next week

One system your team actually uses, on desktop, tablet, and phone.

Questions

What Erie businesses ask us

We are a small field service operation in Erie. Are we too small for custom software development?

No. Most of our clients are businesses where the dispatcher is also three other roles. If the field ticket has outgrown a whiteboard, a phone, and a paper ticket book, you are who this was built for.

Who owns the work when the custom software development is finished?

You do — data, documentation, and the system. For field service teams in Erie that matters more than most, because the records inside a whiteboard, a phone, and a paper ticket book are often the most valuable thing the business owns.

What if the person who built our system has left?

That is the normal custom software development case, not the hard one. We document a whiteboard, a phone, and a paper ticket book from the outside — what it does, not what someone meant it to do — and in Erie the dispatcher is usually the best source for how the field ticket really moves.

What does Custom Software cost for a field service operation in Erie?

Scope decides it, which is why the audit comes before a number. For field service teams the scope usually turns on how much history sits in a whiteboard, a phone, and a paper ticket book and how tangled the field ticket has become. Fixed quote before anything is billed.
