Jobber

Pros

Absolutely great system and easily adaptable to service companies. They are constantly adding features and functions and I hate to give only 4 stars on that but there are a few things that we would like to have but it doesn't incorporate. They are ALWAYS open to listening and I have actually had some of my ideas incorporated into the program. If I could give 10 stars on the customer service and value for the money I absolutely would. It is a simple program to use once you play with it for a bit. They are always updating which is awesome always new functionality available!

Cons

I don't like the fact that Visits and Jobs are treated separately with no way to combine them. I wish that you could set this up and for us, just delete the visit altogether because for us a Job is a Visit. They are always 1 to 1 ratio for us. It makes some of the scheduling frustrating because you can schedule a job but not have a visit scheduled. I can completely see how other companies need the ability for multiple visits on 1 job though.
Would like to see compulsory custom fields so you don't forget to fill out important data on quotes or invoices.
This is a big one, if you don't use the Stripe Jobber Payments then you cannot post a refund to a clients account. You basically have to do a work around and then post a negative invoice. It is very frustrating for a basic accounting function. We often have customers place deposits or pay in advance and they don't use their full deposit for our service. We have to issue a refund and it is a real pain to do.

Pros

1. Having our own number when we were on the grow plan was fantastic. 2. Two way texts and appt confirmations3. Route scheduling4. Being able to design your own work orders and invoices with adding your own fields.

Cons

The fact that we love having all the features of the grow plan but we are a two person company and cannot see paying that much for it. We should be able to add on features.

Pros

The program overall is very basic and easy to use for non-tech savy folks.

Cons

Invoicing and estimates are a mess. The online portal for customers to view and pay invoices and estimates is extremely confusing and will cause a lot of headaches. Purchase order tracking / history records are confusing and was not ideal to our business. We also had problems with caretakers who receive bills for multiple locations / customers that they take care off. When sending invoices or estimates to these property management companies, this system groups invoices together so on multiple occasions, a customer would send us a check for their invoice and others out of confusion. Brought these issues up to the support team of Jobber and asked to cancel and refund, they would not budge one bit. They don't seem to care if you have any issues after you sign up.

Pros

Having a mobile application is great where you can run all your business at the comfort of your home.

Cons

Few times support was not as expected. A bit of delay in answering took place.
