In brief

  1. Five weeks, June 15 to July 17, 2026, for a fixed $6,900. No new subscriptions.
  2. Kim's time is about 3½ hours in total, plus 15 minutes a day during the pilot week.
  3. Every phase has a "done when" check, and the old inbox stays live for 30 days as a fallback.

Timeline

5 weeks, June 15 – July 17, 2026. Your team's time is listed for every phase, so nothing lands on anyone as a surprise.

Payment: 50% to start, 50% at handoff. Fixed price: if it takes us longer, that's on us.
New subscriptions: $0. Uses the request queue already included in your field-service plan.

What we need from you, by June 15

Why it's hereMissing access is the most common cause of delay, so we ask for it up front.

  • Admin access to the shared inbox (Gmail), for the connection work only.
  • Admin access to the field-service app.
  • Access to the voicemail settings of the phone system.
  • One person for questions during the build: Kim.

Not in this price

Why it's hereA fixed price needs clear limits. Anything outside them is quoted before any work starts.

  • Changes to dispatch or scheduling.
  • New software or a new phone system.
  • Changes to the website, except the inquiry form connection.
  • Work outside this plan gets a written quote first. We never bill a surprise.

What you get at handoff

  • One-page system map
  • Runbook: what to do when something stops
  • Access list: who is admin of what
  • Subscription and renewal list
  • 30 days of fixes included after handoff

If we need to undo it

Why it's hereEvery change should be reversible. If one can't be, we say so before you sign.

The old inbox stays untouched for 30 days. To go back, Kim turns off the three connections in the field-service app (Settings → Integrations). The old inbox works again at once, in under 15 minutes.
