GET MORE REVENUE FROM THE TRUCKS YOU ALREADY OWN.
FFD works alongside your techs on every job, capturing the work, surfacing the history that wins approvals, and catching what causes callbacks.

They are paid to diagnose, repair, replace and serve customers.

An asset specifically designed to improve profitability leveraging these 4 business drivers:
Get Technician back on the Road Faster
Revenue Driver(10% daily improvement in billable hrs.)- Back on the Road Faster
- Bill More, Not Longer
- Reclaim the Billable Hour
Field Pro MAX examined more than 10,000 data points across 300 HVAC companies. It reveals that an average of 5.7 hours per day can be considered billable. In this case, “billable” is defined as the amount of time a contractor can charge the customer on their invoice.
Reference: achrnews.comDevelop customer trust / Increase repair/replacement approvals 'on the spot'
Revenue Driver(increase annual revenue 23K per truck with photo evidence of the problem)- Close More on Site
- Turn Recommendations Into Revenue
- More Yeses at the Table
Photo evidence of the problem (capacitor reading, cracked component) dramatically reduces pushback.
Reference: fieldpadpro.comKill the Callback
Cost Saver(the operational KPI almost every HVAC owner tracks, but almost no industry source publishes cleanly)- Stop the Free Truck Rolls
- Callbacks, Caught Early
- Fewer Callbacks, Fatter Margin
EXAMPLE - a truck generating approx. 360K per year with a callback cost ratio of 5% = 18K in cost and/or lost revenue opportunity. Reduce that by 2% or 7K per annum using FFD Edge to monitor and reduce callbacks. Over time, this adds up fast (in either direction).
Reference: builtontenth.comFree the Back Office
Cost saver(redeploy admin hours to growth)Your office re-keys handwritten job notes, chases techs for missing details, and fixes errors before invoicing. That is duplicate work!
- Stop Paying Twice
- Less Admin, More Growth
- End the Re-Typing
Most home-service companies carry 3 to 5% of revenue in overhead they could cut without hurting operations. On a $5M shop, that is $150K to $250K straight to the bottom line. FFD removes the duplicate back-office work so those hours turn into margin, not waste.

A cheaper app saves you a little this month, and that is the end of it. The Digital Operator turns every service call into structured operating data your competitors do not have. By the end of year one, the system has learned 12 months of how your company truly operates and compounds efficiency every year after that.
Every job becomes machine-readable
Voice, photo and video capture turn each call into clean, structured data instead of scattered notes. Nothing to fill in by hand.
The data starts answering questions
The system begins surfacing what drives your callbacks, where labor hours disappear, and which diagnostic steps actually produce a first-time fix.
It starts doing the work with you
The Digital Operator prepares jobs, coaches technicians on the fly, writes the documentation, and closes the administrative loops.
The retention math: the longer you run on FFD, the more it knows about how your company works, and the harder it is to walk away from. Your competitors can copy an interface. They cannot copy years of your real jobs, techs and outcomes.
Here's the operational signal we lock in by month three.
just by increasing billable hour efficiency from 70% to 80% per day per truck
by leveraging the FFD intelligent customer data hub and winning more repair and replacement work
by allowing FFD Edge to review each service ticket before invoice is finalized.
administration workflow efficiency that will significantly improve over time as FFD learns your business
The signal is crystal clear
Example: 8‑truck SMB HVAC fleet: >$400K annual profit uplift when all 4 FFD intelligent digital operators are in full swing...
Illustrative example based on internal modeling for a representative 8‑truck SMB HVAC operation (working an 11 month cycle). Actual results vary by fleet size, market conditions, pricing, and execution. This is not a guarantee of your business performance. (1) Revenue uplift is estimated based on time saved each day enabling an extra service billable hour per truck per day and incremental revenue using FFD customer data hub (2) Cost savings should transfer cost efficiencies directly to the bottom line & (3) Our best efforts have been made to estimate callback ratios and associated costs, business inefficiency and other operational aspects of the business.
Simple calculation: (Profit Shift = Δ Revenue + Δ Cost Savings)
Every job makes the next job better.
The Digital Operator improves because it is actually doing the work. Nine steps, one loop, turning faster every quarter.
Every job makes the next job better.
turning faster every quarter
When your best technician retires, his knowledge does not retire with him.
Every shop runs on tribal knowledge that lives in a few people's heads:
- His diagnoses become the company's playbook. Every fix that worked, saved as repeatable steps.
- His head knowledge lives in the system. Equipment history and failures, ready at every door.
- The way he wins customers becomes repeatable. His repair-versus-replace pitch, now the whole team's.
- New hires start at his level. They ramp on his calls, not from zero.
Today, all of it walks out the door when someone leaves. FFD turns that tribal knowledge into a digital operating memory that stays with the company. Acquire a competitor, and it can learn their playbook too.
“The company finally knows what the company knows.”
FFD continuously learns.
- What good looks like
- What bad looks like
- Which processes create margin
- Which technicians excel
- Which customers are valuable
- Which equipment creates problems
- Which recommendations convert
- Which jobs cause callbacks
- Which processes waste time
The Digital Operator becomes the living operating manual of the company.

35 years of HVAC Go-To-Market experience
Hi! My name is John Fraser-Mifsud. I skipped the traditional college path and spent 11 years earning my trade through hands‑on work underpinned by several years of technical college. The trade gave me the ‘how.’ I wanted the ‘why,’ so I went on to complete a Building Science degree (with honors) at the University of Sydney, earning several academic awards. That foundation propelled me into two decades as a 'senior executive & technologist' with global HVAC multinationals, sharpening my go‑to‑market instincts and strategic leadership for the products your business depends on.
