Repairs and specialist services: Operations dashboard for roller shutter service companies
An operations dashboard for roller shutter service companies showing which motors and addresses have recurring faults, where repeat visits come from and which source lies behind them.
Which figures roller shutter service companies really need.
Roller shutter service companies often notice late that a particular motor type keeps coming back, or that one address keeps reporting the same fault. That knowledge is scattered across job cards, emails and engineers' memories. A repeat visit is treated as a new one, so nobody asks whether the previous repair was sound. It also stays unclear how many proposals are sitting with customers unanswered, or how many visits are waiting for a motor still to be ordered. Without agreed definitions, such as what counts as a recurring fault, every overview sparks a debate instead of a decision.

From scattered figures to one overview.
Agree definitions first
We start by agreeing what the figures mean. When is a fault recurring: the same shutter within a set period, or the same complaint? Does an adjustment after a replacement count as a repeat visit? We record those choices, so everyone on the team sees the same thing and nobody reads the dashboard their own way.
Connect job cards and schedule
The dashboard draws data from job cards, the schedule and proposals. Every visit is linked to a shutter, a motor type and a fault symptom. That lets it recognise repeat visits and show how often a fault occurs per motor type. Waiting proposals and parts come from the same sources.
Trace anomalies back to the ticket
When a motor type stands out, you click through to the underlying tickets with the engineer's photos and notes. You can see whether it is a product defect, a wrong motor choice or an installation problem. That decides whether you approach the supplier, adjust your motor selection or give an engineer extra guidance.
Figures from your own work.
The data comes from what you already record: job cards, the schedule, stock and the accounting package. The dashboard adds no input of its own but reads those sources. Where data is missing, such as a motor type absent from the ticket, the dashboard shows that instead of guessing. Each source keeps its own owner; the dashboard only owns the definitions you have agreed together.
Many views or a few fixed questions
A dashboard with dozens of charts stops being looked at after the first week. Better to start with a few questions you ask every week, such as which shutters came back and which proposals are open. New views only get added when there is a concrete question behind them.
Show per engineer or only per motor type
Showing repeat visits per engineer can help with coaching but quickly feels like surveillance. Looking per motor type or symptom puts the focus on product and method. You decide who sees which view; an owner might look per engineer while the team sees the shared results.
Approach the supplier or change your own methods
A standout motor type can be a product problem, but also the result of a motor too light for heavy shutters. The dashboard shows size and motor class per fault, making visible whether the choice in the proposal was right. That decides whether the conversation belongs with the supplier or with your own team.

Read the storyWhich figures we put on the dashboard.
The dashboard shows recurring faults per shutter and per motor type, repeat visits and unanswered proposals. What counts as a repeat visit is recorded together at the start. We fill it with an ordinary month of job cards and look at a shutter whose motor was replaced by another party in the meantime. Views for waiting parts and the balance between repair and replacement can be added when you need them.

Explore pricing and optionsDo we have enough data to make a dashboard worthwhile?
That depends on what is on the job cards. Without a motor type per visit, the dashboard cannot show recurring faults by type. So we first look at a run of recent tickets and work out which fields are missing. Sometimes a small change to the ticket is all it takes.
Can we back up warranty claims with the supplier?
Yes, if replacements are recorded with serial number and date. The dashboard can then show per motor type how often and after how long a fault occurred. That gives a factual basis for a conversation with the supplier, with the tickets as evidence.
Who in the company should be looking at the dashboard?
Usually the owner and the planner, each with their own focus. The planner looks at waiting visits and parts, the owner at recurring faults and open proposals. Engineers often get more from a short discussion of what stood out than from a screen of their own.
Does the dashboard work with our old paper tickets?
Only if those tickets are entered first. It usually makes more sense to start from the digital tickets and add older data only for shutters that had frequent problems. That keeps the start quick and still gives a useful picture.
