Background

e4 Control Systems is a home technology company delivering smart automation, security and entertainment solutions through on-site installation and service teams.

Region: Southern California
Business Model: On-site installation and service operations
Operational Scale: High-volume work orders and service appointments
Core Teams: Field Technicians, Project Managers, Operations & Admin Teams

Goals

  • Unify Field Operations: Replace fragmented tools with a single, real-time console for work order creation and dispatch.

  • Improve Visibility: Provide managers with real-time insight into technician availability and field progress.
  • Automate Communication: Ensure field teams and stakeholders receive consistent, timely updates on schedule changes.

Implementation

Infoglen implemented Schedulynk, a unified workforce management solution, to replace manual coordination with a single operational flow inside Salesforce:
  • Unified Lifecycle: Streamlined the process from quote approval to field execution, automatically linking work orders to the correct customer and project context.
  • Real-Time Scheduling Console: Replaced manual schedules with a visual calendar featuring drag-and-drop functionality and conflict checks to prevent double bookings.
  • Automated Communication: Built-in triggers for automated confirmation, update and cancellation notifications to keep field teams and managers perfectly aligned.
  • Focused Delivery: The solution was deployed in just 3 months by a specialized team of Salesforce experts without operational disruption.
