Houzz Pro daily logs

Daily logs are used to record daily activities, progress, and incidents. Daily logs are simple to create on desktop or on your smartphone while at the job site or on the go. When you incorporate daily logs into your workflow, you’ll notice that this simple record has far-reaching benefits. 

By having a time-stamped written record of daily progress, weather conditions, change orders, and incidents, you’ll help yourself, your team, and the business. Before speaking to a client, you can skim through the daily logs associated with their project to get you up to speed. This enables you to provide exceptional customer service, as you have the information they need at your fingertips. 

Daily logs also help new and current team members get up to speed and gives you a way to communicate with your team and clients at once. Daily logs can even help protect your business from potential litigation or misunderstandings. 

Another benefit of daily logs? Your clients will love the trust and transparency that working with you offers. You can choose to share your daily logs with clients by sharing a client dashboard with them, so they can browse daily happenings whenever they want. Clients are notified by email, and they can visit your professionally branded client portal to review updates any time. 

Your team members can also help lighten the load - give them access to Houzz Pro and they can create and send daily logs too. Hold your team accountable and motivated, communicate openly, and delight clients with Houzz Pro daily logs. Have questions or comments? Let us know in the comments below!
