Frequently Asked Questions
What is a work order?
A work order is a formal document that authorizes and defines specific work to be performed. It captures scope, labor, materials, assigned personnel, timelines, and completion status. Commercial contractors use work orders to document service calls, repairs, maintenance, and installations for billing and job tracking.
What is a service ticket?
A service ticket is a record of work performed, typically created during or after a service call. It documents what was done, when, by whom, and what materials were used. Service tickets support billing, warranty tracking, and job history for commercial service operations.
What should be included?
A commercial work order should include: company and customer details, site location, work order number, dates (created, requested, scheduled, completed), assigned technician or crew, scope of work, labor hours and rates, materials and equipment used, status tracking, safety or access notes, and customer/contractor signatures.
When should contractor teams use one?
Use a work order for every service call, repair, maintenance task, or installation that requires documentation for billing, warranty, or job tracking. Dispatch, admin, and field teams should create work orders before work begins and update them upon completion to ensure clean handoff to invoicing.
How is it different from an estimate or quote?
An estimate or quote is a pricing proposal sent before work begins, defining expected costs and scope. A work order documents the actual work performed, labor and materials used, and completion status. Work orders support billing and job tracking after the work is done, while estimates govern the pricing decision before work starts.
