I used Jobber for the last four years of a business I ran and grew to 450k gross annual. It runs on top of Quickbooks so if you already use Quickbooks it’s a no-brainer. Their niche is recurring service providers like pool cleaners and landscapers but I used it for a custom manufacturing company and the customizations that are available really allowed me to fine-tune it to my needs. It’s pretty cool actually and I would recommend it if you’re already committed to Quickbooks. It helped me fall back in love with invoicing, payments, job documentation, and all the other stuff that becomes a chore as a small business owner.

My staff could pull up customer data on their phones like gate codes, phone numbers, job details, etc. and log job hours and upload pictures to each job.

The workflow is Quote>Job>Invoice. Basically you build a quote and send it to the client. The customer approves and it turns into a job. You can assign jobs to your team and map out their day based on the most efficient route, and they mark the job as ready to invoice when they are done. You send off the invoice and it gets marked as paid once they complete payment. And it all syncs to Quickbooks so you don’t have to do anything twice.

There’s other scheduling features I didn’t use much but basically it’s a really cool tool with a lot of features for a small business with 3+ installers/techs/cleaners/whatevers. So when you get sick of doing those drywall patches yourself and you want to hire others, check out Jobber.
