Department

Service

Exists when the company has technicians or field workers whose primary job is diagnosing and fixing problems at customer locations. This is the revenue engine for service-based trades — the people in the trucks, the ones customers interact with, the ones whose efficiency and skill directly determine profitability. The department is real when there is a dedicated team doing service calls, not just the owner handling everything.
