Field service
The build-versus-buy verdict was the product
Anonymized engagement. The client is not named, and details that could identify them are left out.
An electrical contracting company, 2024. A requirements review produced a custom-build estimate of about 650 hours, on the order of CAD $50,000 or more. Tekefy steered the client to configured software instead: two field-service platforms compared, Jobber plus Zapier chosen, delivered as CAD $2,500 once and CAD $399 a month with 5 hours a month of support.
The lesson, which is now how Tekefy sells: we make money when you do not overbuild.
