In the fast-paced world of HVAC, efficiency is everything. From managing projects to completing tasks on time, boosting productivity is the key to standing out in a competitive market. If you’re a contractor looking to streamline your workflow and maximize your output, this guide is for you. Here are five effective strategies to enhance your productivity, featuring practical solutions like install boxes, truck stock, and shop stock.
1. Streamline Your Truck Stock
Your truck is your mobile office, so keeping it well-stocked and organized can save you hours each week. Utilizing our Truck stock solution allows you to easily order and replenish you truck without having to waste gas and time going to your hvac distributor.
Action Steps for Better Truck Stock:
Provide us with a list of commonly used replacement parts.
We will organize your truck and label them with barcodes.
When you use a part, scan the code with our Johnstone Supply mobile app, put the PO on the order for your job and you will be able to job cost it accurately every time!
It’s a no brainer for the most efficient service techs in the industry and it gives them a competitive advantage by quickly fixing your customers’ problem.
If you are still self managing your truck, you are most likely losing out on additional service calls.

2. Implement Install Boxes
An install box is a contractor’s secret weapon for staying productive on the job site. This solution ensures that you have all the tools and materials you need at your fingertips.
How Johnstone Supply’s Install Boxes work:
Request to have us build your install boxes with product you need for any type of install.
Tell us how many installs you do on average during peak season.
We will build 2 times your expected weekly install demand.

If you have ever needed to go back to the shop to pick up a part you forgot, you know there is profit being lost. This solution ensures that you are never stopping your install progress. Get started with our most utilized productivity solution today!
3. Leverage Shop Stock Systems
Your shop is the hub of your operations. Having an efficient shop stock system ensures that materials are easy to find and replenish.
Best Practices for Shop Stock:

• Automate Inventory Management: Use digital tools or apps to track inventory levels and set automatic reorders.
An organized shop stock reduces the chaos and helps you start projects without unnecessary delays.
