Virtual work tickets are used in the service industry to track project status. They allow service providers to enter queries and save copies for dispute resolution. Job tickets are not legally binding and differ from work orders, contracts, and receipts.
Work tickets are constantly updated documents that are mainly used in the service industry to track the status of a project. For example, a business ticket could be used for automotive repairs, shipping an item, computer hardware or software repairs, or installing telephone service. In modern times, a business ticket is usually a virtual document, meaning no real documents are generated. Rather, tickets are created and updated via software databases.
The benefits of using a virtual business card are numerous. For example, a service provider can enter a query on a customer and find out the status of the project. Once a service is complete to customer and service provider satisfaction, the work ticket is often overwritten with new data for the next service. There are, however, a growing number of service providers who are saving a full copy of the work tickets they generate to show exactly how a particular service was delivered and how long the process took. The work tickets are then used to resolve disputes from customers who feel that service has not been provided in a timely manner or not completed.
Job tickets should not be confused with work orders, receipts or contracts. A job ticket is not legally binding, as it is simply an information document that lets a service provider know what has been completed and what remains to be done. You can also add personal notes, such as “customer was rude and aggressive” or “customer is hard of hearing, must use teletypewriter (TTY)” to let others know about the unique challenges when dealing with a particular customer.
A work order is the initial request that specifically defines what the customer and service provider think they should do. Contracts set out terms on how to complete the work so that both parties have a clear understanding of the terms. This usually includes a quoted price, a time frame of work, what needs to be provided by the client, and what the service provider needs to have completed at the end of the contract. A receipt is the final bill for the service and the amount owed.
