Questions owners ask
Can I quote a job with parts and labour, then turn it straight into an invoice?
Yes. Build the quote from your item list with parts and labour together, the customer accepts it online, and it becomes the invoice without retyping anything.
How does BX1X stop me promising a part that's already been used on another job?
Stock is set aside for a quote or invoice as soon as it's created, so the same part can't be promised twice, whether it's on a shelf or already in a vehicle.
Can I track the hours a technician spends on site?
Yes. Time is tracked per person against the client, marked billable or not, and turned into a draft invoice you check before it goes out.
Do serial numbers matter for equipment I install, like a geyser or an inverter?
Yes. Scan the serial number in when you receive the item and it's linked to its warranty and to any return, so you can look up exactly which unit went where.
Can I message a customer from BX1X instead of my personal phone?
Yes. A shared WhatsApp inbox keeps the conversation on the customer's record, so anyone on the team can see what was said. Connecting your WhatsApp number is part of setup.
What if the signal drops while I'm receiving stock at the job site?
Receiving and counting stock with a phone camera works even when the signal drops.
