Real examples — dashboards + automations

Dashboards and Automations Built for Service Businesses

If you run a service business, your biggest problems are usually the same: follow-ups, visibility, and manual admin. Here are concrete examples of the kinds of systems we implement so you can track what matters, respond faster, and scale without chaos.

Example 1: Owner Operations Dashboard

Use case: A local service business (junk removal, landscaping, cleaning, trades) is tracking jobs in texts, spreadsheets, and scattered tools. The owner can’t quickly answer: “What’s profitable?”, “What’s stuck?”, or “What needs attention today?”

ClearPath • Owner Snapshot This Week This Month Custom Jobs Completed 27 +12% vs last week Revenue $18.4k Auto-synced from payments Estimated Profit $6.1k Labor + fees accounted Outstanding Invoices $3.2k 5 invoices pending Weekly Revenue Trend Owner Action Items Follow up: 3 unbooked leads Auto-reminder queued Invoice: 2 jobs not billed Generate + send in one click Crew utilization dipped Spot low-density days

What the dashboard gives you

  • Profit visibility: revenue vs. estimated profit by week/month.
  • Operational clarity: what’s booked, what’s pending, what’s stuck.
  • Action focus: follow-ups and invoices that need attention.

Built to be lightweight: the goal is clarity—not a “BI project.”

Example 2: Automated Intake + Follow-Up

Use case: Leads come in from your website, phone calls, and referrals. The goal is to respond instantly, stop leads from slipping through the cracks, and reduce back-and-forth scheduling.

ClearPath • Intake Automation (Example) Lead comes in Website • call • referral • text Instant confirmation Email/SMS + expectations Scheduling link Book without back-and-forth Owner notification Clean summary + next step Auto-added to pipeline Auto-tag + prioritize Service type • urgency • area Hot / Warm / Low urgency If no response… 48h follow-up 72h final nudge Booked → client prep sent What to expect • photos needed • timeline Reduces confusion + no-shows Quote workflow (optional) Generate quote • approve • store record Consistent pricing + tracking Result Faster responses More bookings

What this automation does

  • Respond instantly: confirmation + scheduling in seconds.
  • Never drop a lead: automatic reminders if they go quiet.
  • Stay organized: tagging and a simple pipeline for visibility.

The goal is a workflow that runs quietly in the background—so your team can stay focused on service delivery.
