Diligentic is a Calgary-based team that helps plumbing businesses fix how dispatch, estimating, and invoicing actually run, connecting the tools you already use, automating the busywork, and building what's missing, so jobs get paid for faster and fewer calls get missed.

Where Plumbing Businesses Lose Time and Money
In plumbing, speed decides who gets the job, and speed is usually where things break down internally. These are the points where plumbing businesses lose the most, most often.
Missed Emergency Calls
If an urgent call goes unanswered, the homeowner may contact another plumber before your team has an opportunity to respond.
Slow Dispatch
Without a clear view of who's available and where, sending the closest available plumber to an urgent job takes longer than it should.
Job Changes Nobody Tracks
Plumbing jobs often change once work begins: extra parts, more labour, unexpected repairs. If this isn't captured properly, it's easy to under-bill or forget it entirely.
Slow Invoices
The longer it takes to turn a completed job into an invoice, the longer it takes to get paid, and the more likely details get lost between the field and the office.
Unpaid Bills Get Forgotten
Without an automatic reminder system in place, overdue invoices often get forgotten until a customer is finally contacted for another job.
Where Automation Helps the Most
For plumbing businesses, the biggest wins usually come from fixing these five things first; each one directly affects how fast a job gets done and paid for.
Answering Every Call
An automatic text reply goes out the moment a call is missed, so the customer hears from you within minutes — even during a busy day or after hours.
Faster Dispatch
Office teams can view technician availability, location, and job status in real time, so they can assign urgent work more quickly and confidently.
Capturing Job Changes
Technicians can log added parts, labour, or scope changes directly from the field, so nothing gets missed by the time the job reaches invoicing.
Faster Estimating
Estimates can be created and sent from the field on a phone or tablet, so customers get accurate pricing before the plumber has even fully left the job site.
Faster Invoicing
When a job is marked complete, approved job information moves into the invoicing system, allowing the invoice to be prepared or sent according to approval rules.
What Stays Human
Automation handles the paperwork. It doesn't handle the judgment calls — here's how that splits for a plumbing business.
Handled by Your Team
Talking to customers and building trust
Diagnosing complex plumbing problems
Pricing decisions on unusual or large jobs
Deciding which plumber handles a difficult call
Final quality checks on completed work
Handled by Automation
Replying to missed calls
Sending dispatch and job assignment updates
Logging job changes and parts used
Sending invoices as soon as a job is done

How Implementation Works
The Diligentic Infotech implementation process for plumbing businesses has seven steps: an initial call, a review of current workflows, an automation plan, tool integration, testing, team training, and ongoing support.Most plumbing implementations are completed within two to four weeks, depending on how many tools need to be connected.
Initial Call
Diligentic Infotech learns about your current tools and daily operations, including how calls come in, how jobs get dispatched, and where your office spends the most time chasing information between the field and the desk.
Workflow Review
Diligentic maps out exactly how calls, dispatch, and invoicing move through your business today, tracing each job from the moment it's booked to the moment it's paid, so nothing gets missed along the way.
Automation Plan
Diligentic identifies which workflows to automate first based on where you're losing the most time or money, then puts together a clear plan so you know exactly what's changing and in what order.
Tool Integration
Diligentic connects your existing software so information flows between systems automatically, meaning dispatch, invoicing, and job records stay in sync without your office having to re-enter the same details across multiple platforms.
Testing
Diligentic tests the automated workflows before they go live to catch issues early, running through real scenarios like missed calls or last-minute job changes so everything works properly before your team relies on it.
Team Training
Diligentic walks your team through the new process, covering exactly how dispatch, invoicing, and job updates work now, so everyone knows what's changed and what to expect once the new setup goes live.
Ongoing Support
Diligentic remains available after launch to resolve issues or adjust workflows as your business evolves, whether that means adding a new tool, handling a busier season, or adjusting something that isn't quite right.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how this works for plumbing businesses, from dispatch to invoicing to ongoing support.
Do we have to switch away from our current plumbing software?
No. Diligentic connects with ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and most plumbing software already on the market. Businesses do not need to switch platforms to use Diligentic's automation services.
Can this help with emergency and same-day jobs?
Yes. Automatic call replies and real-time dispatch help you respond to an urgent jobs faster, which is often the deciding factor in winning emergency work.
Will our plumbers need to learn a new system?
In many cases, plumbers can continue using their existing field service or mobile application. When a new screen, portal, or workflow is introduced, Diligentic Infotech provides hands-on training.
How long does implementation take?
Most plumbing implementations with Diligentic are completed within two to four weeks, depending on how many tools are being connected.
Is our customer and job data secure?
Diligentic builds workflows with data access, security, and privacy in mind. The applicable framework, including Alberta's PIPA and, where relevant, PIPEDA, is confirmed based on the systems and data involved.
Do you build custom plumbing software from scratch, or does it just connect the existing tools you already use?
Both. Most plumbing businesses just need their existing tools connected and automated, but when your workflow needs something standard software can't do, Diligentic builds it.
