Plan a service round and installation in AxiomBlue

  1. Give every AxiomBlue service job a unit reference, scope, Site Address and Estimated Duration. On Professional, create the agreed repeat services as Job Series and check the individual generated visits.
  2. Select ready installation/service work in Auto Schedule and review assignments around the multi-day installation. Inspect suitable technicians, warnings and work left unplaced; access and shutdown windows need their separate check.
  3. After applying the plan, record incomplete work and the correct unit reference in the visit’s Description/Notes. Review the return and recurring dates before confirming them; do not mark the service complete just to keep the round tidy.

Put the equipment and the visit scope on the job

Record the unit reference and the agreed maintenance, diagnosis or installation work. Check access arrangements, required tools and any customer shutdown window. Two units at one site may need different durations or follow-up; one vague property booking will not explain that to the technician.

Keep repeat maintenance visible beside installation work

Illustrative week: a regular service round shares technicians with a two-day installation. Preserve each maintenance visit’s scope and agreed date range when reviewing the larger job. On Professional, recurring job series can organise repeat work, but each visit still needs a meaningful outcome and exceptions review.

Review the proposal before committing the day

AxiomBlue’s assisted scheduling uses recorded duration, bookings, working hours and travel to propose assignments. Professional adds crew skills and approved leave. Inspect the people, times, warnings and work not placed before applying; keep inputs current. Job readiness and customer arrangements still need your review. Individual scheduling is available on Free within limits and on Basic.

Review the visit that cannot be completed

If access fails or a part is needed, record the actual finding and the next action against the correct unit. Agree the return time and check the repeat schedule rather than marking all work complete. Review the billing arrangement separately: a scheduled service and a payable invoice are not interchangeable.

Common questions

Questions about this process

Does a recurring service schedule prove the equipment was maintained?

No. Record the actual visit, unit and service outcome. Review skipped, incomplete and changed visits separately from the repeat pattern and billing.
