8A, Solving the Problem

The solution is a property management company with an extensive web interface that is intended for property investors, snow birds, or others who have residential property and are in need a caretaker.

The company would be focused on providing excellent customer service, top notch quality, efficient property maintenance, and a highly developed web interface to interact with the customers who could easily reach out to a company representative at any time.  

It is common for skilled laborers to have a deficit in customer service.  In most cases, the owners of these businesses are normally a previous laborer who has decided to open his/her own company.  Therefore, the customer service aspect is typically non-existent.

Some investors are not concerned with quality and only with price.  Therefore, many contractors have become complacent and feel as though quality is no longer important.  If we can develop a reputation of having excellent customer service along with quality work, we will definitely obtain more than enough work from referrals.

The web interface, which is intended to set the company apart from the rest of the competition, would allow the customer to create, track, and view the status of work orders and costs in real time.  Completed work could also be captured via a recording device that could relay the finished product directly to the customer’s account allowing them the convenience of viewing completed work on their time without interference to their daily routine.
