Specialist Service
Job Management Setup (ServiceM8/Jobber)
Replace WhatsApp + spreadsheets with proper job management: scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and field ops in one place.
The Problem
Your job management is WhatsApp messages and a spreadsheet. Jobs fall through the cracks, invoices go out late, and you spend Friday evenings chasing payments instead of finishing. It works until it stops working, and then it costs you money.
What I Do
I set up ServiceM8 or Jobber around your business: job types, workflows, quote and invoice templates, Xero integration, and team training. Most trades recoup the setup cost in recovered lost jobs and faster payments within the first month.

Common Questions
ServiceM8 or Jobber: which is better?
Both are excellent. ServiceM8 is popular with electricians and plumbers for its iOS-optimised app. Jobber is stronger for larger teams and customer communication. I'll recommend based on your trade.
How long does setup take?
3–5 days for a full setup including data import and integrations. Training is a 2-hour session.
Can I import my existing customer list?
Yes, I import your customers, job history, and templates so you start with your data intact, not from zero.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Both ServiceM8 and Jobber are built mobile-first. Engineers can see jobs, complete checklists, and take payment in the field.
Can it connect to Xero or QuickBooks?
Yes, invoices sync automatically to your accounting software. No double entry.
Can customers book online?
Jobber has an optional customer portal for online booking requests. ServiceM8 has similar functionality.
Can I track where my engineers are?
Both platforms have optional GPS tracking for field staff.
What if my team isn't tech-savvy?
The training session is designed for non-technical users. Both platforms have simple mobile interfaces. Most teams are comfortable within a week.
What if I outgrow the platform?
Both scale well to 50+ field staff. If you genuinely outgrow them, I'll advise on the next tier.
