Case Study
Company: Christians Maintenance LLC
Location: Trenton, Michigan
Founded: 2018
During the height of the COVID 19 Pandemic in 2018, Owner Christian recognized a niche in his marketplace and founded Christians Maintenance LLC.
Christian typically provides snow and landscaping services to larger companies in the state of Michigan.
Historically his company has more than doubled each year and services commercial sites in the Metro Detroit Area.

Prior to CrewTracker Software – Christian and his team manually processed each service transaction - dispatch, service tracking, client communications, time sheets maintenance and invoicing.
​
Before CrewTracker, Christian described the process as “Stressful and time consuming with no way of financially knowing how I am doing until it’s almost “too late. I required a solution that I could customize to my unique business model year round.”
​
“There just were not enough hours in the day – and I wanted to grow my company too. I had realized too that I had missed revenue from a couple of months prior and that it was too late to invoice for.” - Christian
