Frequently asked questions

General

What is Novus Service?

Novus Service is a CRM and field service management app for multi-branch service businesses. It connects lead management, quotations, inventory, service jobs, tasks and live field tracking in one platform.

Who is Novus Service for?

Businesses that sell, install and service products, such as AC and HVAC, solar, water purifiers and appliances, CCTV and security, elevators and equipment, and facility management or pest control.

Can I use only some modules?

Yes. Start with the modules you need and switch on others as you grow. All modules share the same customer record.

Does it work for a single location?

Yes. Multi-branch features are available when you open more locations.

What roles and permissions does it support?

Three roles: Admin with full access, Manager for assigned branches and teams, and Staff for their own tasks.

Is my data secure?

Access is role-based, so each person sees only what their role allows. Customer and location data are not sold to third parties or used for advertising.

Can I move my existing customer and stock data?

Yes. Our team helps import your current records during setup.

Which devices does Novus Service run on?

Staff use the Novus Service mobile app. It is available on the App Store, with Android availability listed on our download links.

Is Novus Service available outside India?

Yes. Novus Service is built in India and offered to service businesses internationally, directly and through our partner network.

Lead Management

Can leads from different branches be kept separate?

Yes. Each lead belongs to a branch, and managers see only the branches they are assigned to, while admins see all of them.

Can a lead be turned into a quotation directly?

Yes. Once a lead is qualified, you create a quotation from it and the customer details carry over automatically.

Does Novus Service generate leads for me?

Novus Service captures and manages the enquiries you receive. It does not run advertising or buy leads on your behalf.

Quotation Management

Can I revise a quotation after sending it?

Yes. Create a new revision and earlier versions stay on record, so you can see what changed.

Are quotations linked to inventory?

Yes. Items on a quote come from the same catalogue the inventory module tracks, so stock and pricing stay consistent.

Can each branch have its own quotations?

Yes. Quotations are created under a branch and reported by branch, while admins see the full picture.

Inventory Management

Does inventory update when a technician uses a part?

Yes. Parts recorded on a service job are deducted from the stock of that job's branch.

Can I see stock at another branch?

Admins and authorised managers can view stock across branches to decide where to fulfil an order or job.

Is this a full warehouse system?

Novus Service inventory is built around service work: stock by branch and parts per job. Large multi-warehouse operations should confirm their needs with our team.

Service Management

Can Novus Service manage AMC contracts?

Yes. You record each AMC against the customer and schedule its visits, so upcoming and overdue maintenance is visible.

Can a technician see a customer's past visits?

Yes. The job shows the service history for that customer and site, including parts used earlier.

How does service connect to sales?

Service requests and visits sit on the same customer record as leads and quotations, so after-sales work can open new opportunities.

Task Management

What roles does Novus Service support?

Three roles: Admin with full system access, Manager for assigned teams and branches, and Staff for their own tasks.

Can tasks be reassigned?

Yes. Managers can reassign a task to another staff member and the new owner is notified.

Is there a calendar view?

Yes. Tasks appear on a calendar by date, and you can open any task from it.

Field Tracking

Is staff location tracked all the time?

Location is collected only after the staff member grants permission, and background tracking needs a separate permission. Staff can revoke it in their device settings.

Is location data sold or used for ads?

No. Location data is used only to run the app's features and is not sold or used for advertising.

Does field tracking work with tasks?

Yes. Check-ins and visits are tied to the task or service job the technician is working on.
