Where field-crew IT breaks
Electrical contractors in Surrey and the Lower Mainland often run the company on whatever device is closest. These are the gaps we see before a managed plan is in place.
Personal devices
Quotes, job photos, and drawings sit on a personal phone or a laptop someone owns. When that person is on another site, the office cannot get the file.
No backup
There is no copy of the job files if a laptop is lost, a drive fails, or a phone is dropped on site.
Job-site file access
The office has the folder. The crew on a Surrey or Lower Mainland job site has no secure way to open it.
Break/fix IT
Someone gets called after email, a laptop, or the shop network is already down. Nothing is watched between those calls.
What we put in place
The assessment looks at the devices, the backup, and how the crew reaches files from a job site. A plan then covers the ongoing work.
A help desk the crew can call
Office staff and field leads have a named contact during business hours. Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm. Saturday, 7am to 2pm. Sunday closed.
Backup for the job files
Professional and Premium include cloud backup. Essential does not. The assessment says which one fits the crew.
Access from the job site
Authorized people can reach the files they need from site without leaving the office server open to the internet.
Monitoring and patching
Systems are watched and updated between calls, so support is not only a visit after something has already failed.
Why local and on-site matters
Field trades in Surrey and the Lower Mainland split the day between the shop, the truck, and the job site. The IT has to work in all three places.

On-site when the shop needs it

Managed IT case study
Able Electrical LTD
The crew had files on personal devices, no backup, and no secure way to reach the office from a job site. We deployed on-site TrueNAS and MinIO storage, Tailscale for job-site access, and Microsoft 365 with Intune. Ongoing support covers the help desk, patching, and monitoring. That case study also covers Virsa running on their own server.
