Introduction
The Handyperson module is one of the add-on modules available for the Charitylog system. It allows users to assign work and manage appointments for Handypeople to visit clients. The module is based around a job card system, and a separate chain of actions which run alongside the normal Charitylog referral. This is called a "Handyperson referral".
Clients are started on their Handyperson referrals simply by an action being recorded in a project which is linked to the Handyperson module. In most cases this automatically starts the Handyperson referral. In some cases, it may be appropriate that this does not happen automatically, in which case the referral can be started manually as part of the Record a Contact screen.
Once their Handyperson referral has started, it needs filling in with job cards. Sometimes it is only one job card, or in more complicated cases it may be several. These job cards are completed as the work is done. Once all the work is finished, the referral is logged as complete, and the client can be contacted for outcome entry if required.
Of course all the activity carried out as part of the Handyperson process is available for reporting, data extract and so on.
Ways to use the Handyperson module
The Handyperson module was designed around the process of organisations which send trusted tradespeople out to their clients, as a result of an enquiry to the organisation. These might be -
- Gardeners, plumbers, painters, decorators etc
- Tradesmen to fit key safes, accessibility equipment etc
- Odd job men/women
However, the module is flexible, and can also be used for many other types of activity. The Handyperson module includes some basic accounting functionality, and this can be extended using the Accounts Module.
Don't have the Handyperson module?
If your system does not have the Handyperson module, and you think your organisation would benefit from it, please call the support department to discuss an upgrade.
