Directional Boring & HDD
No ReKeying — Every Service Agreement Renewed, Every Visit Logged Automatically
Maintenance agreements are your most profitable recurring revenue — and the ones most likely to slip through the cracks. Renewal dates buried in a spreadsheet, missed visits never billed, customers who forgot they had a contract. No ReKeying means every agreement visit is dispatched, logged, and billed without manual follow-through.

How Maintenance Agreement Tracking Actually Looks in Directional Boring & HDD
The Scenario
A boring contractor has maintenance agreements with three utility clients for annual drill rig inspections and emergency response SLAs. One client's inspection date passed without being scheduled — discovered when the client called to ask where the tech was.
The Real Impact
Missed maintenance agreement obligations on utility contracts can trigger SLA penalties of $500–$5,000 per missed window and damage the relationship with a client worth $150K–$400K/year.
Does This Sound Like Your Directional Boring & HDD Operation?
- !Maintenance agreement visits get skipped and nobody notices until the customer calls
- !Renewal dates are tracked in a spreadsheet that someone forgets to check
- !Agreement customers get treated like one-off jobs — no priority scheduling
The Cost of Doing Nothing
A missed maintenance agreement visit is lost revenue and a broken promise. If 10% of your agreement visits are missed, a $50K/month agreement base leaks $5K/month — $60K/year — in unbilled work.
