Managing Fill in Jobs
Hi Community! One challenge we face is keeping track of fill in jobs or jobs that need a follow up visit but dont know exactly when it will happen. Having one central location or a way to keep track of all of these for easy reference would be key. We try to use the job status' as much as possible but turns out this does not always work. The work around we have done is creating a new customer named "Fill In" then created a new job titled "Fill In Jobs List". Now techs or **bleep** can add a new line item with scope of work, estimated duration and job number. Each new line item represents a separate fill in job. This puts all our fill ins in one location and we can reference it then direct to the job number in Jobber for scheduling. This works but don't feel its scalable. Curious what others have been doing for this! Thanks, Carson
Invoice Due Date
Jobber currently lacks a lot of options to set the invoice due date. We run a cleaning business and have set the default Due Date that caters for 65% of of our business. The rest of the customers we need the due date to either be 20th of the following month, 20th of This month of 30 days from date of invoice. This needs to be set at a client level. We have these options in Xero however we make use of Jobber to generate our invoices and sync it to Xero. I have raised this multiple times with Jobber but it is not on their roadmap. Hoping there are more people out there with the same requirement to help boost this post so that Jobber can do something about it. Unless someone has found another way to do it. this will save at 10 hours a month of man hour to change every invoice.
Airbnb Cleaning Automated Scheduling
Hi Everyone, We own a cleaning business in Australia and use Jobber as our software. We have a lot of clients that have Airbnb properties that we clean for them. We have been researching and trying to come up with the best solution to automate the booking process, as you can imagine cleaning 100 Airbnb properties with multi bookings per week can become a admin logistical nightmare. Does anyone have any experience in this area. How have you automated the process, can you connect Airbnb with Jobber, what is the best practice of booking and scheduling these appointments?
Jobber Failing to update features
I have contacted Jobber on multiple occasions. We mow seasonally.We need an option to turn the routes off during the winter. Currently we have to go through each customer at the beginning of the Spring season to move the start date, in order to clear the "late visits" The other thing they need to do like Service Auto Pilot, is allow you to skip a week. If it is during acrought and some yards do not need mowed and get skipped, we need to be able to hit skip. The customer should not be charge and it would pick up on the schedule to following week. I have also contacted them about mows from many months earlier that have already been paid, randomly appearing on numberous customer's invoices.Setting up rounds for lawn applications
Hello All, Jim from Paramount Turf Company here. I am 50 days in with Jobber and preparing for a new service line we offer at PTC with lawn applications starting in 2025. With that said, I have experience with other software companies when it comes to setting up a multiple round application program but was curious how you all do it within Jobber. Jobber client service team has been great with their one-on-one consultations and have been super helpful but would like to talk to someone in my industry in how you all set up your multiple rounds and how you schedule it. Would love to connect with some of you if you would be willing to talk some shop! Thank you in advance!!!
Schedule
Hello community, we have an average of 150 jobs on our schedules every day, how do i get to put all the jobs on jobber and have a daily view before assigning to a tech, I perform the dispatching role and we have to use a different schedule , like outlook to se all our schedule at one time, but we would like to use jobber, the only problems is that assigned jobs don't fit on that little window on the left.
Ideas about note organization and ease of use
Hi all, been with Jobber awhile and this has always been an issue for us. We're an appliance repair company. Our office and techs use the note spaces for everything. This though makes that space noisy and important details get lost in the mix often. I had suggested many years ago a folder system that would allow the user to select which folder they wanted the notes to go into. This would have resolved all our issue but alas this has not happened. Ideally, I want to keep everything in jobber and not have to involve other programs. Has anyone had this issue and found a way to mitigate it? Thanks all, Me
Blocking time in jobber schedule as unavailable
Does anyone know how to block off time in Jobber when not available? Since Jobber does not do a two-way sync with Google calendar, I need a way to block off time in Jobber when I'm not available. I don't want to have to change my business hours or make fake jobs in jobber to block off time for personal appointments. Does anyone know how to get around this? For example, if my hours are 10 am to 7pm, but I have a doctors appointment at 11 AM, how can I make it so nobody can book me during that time? Thanks
For people running and scheduling several crews, any tips to help...
For people running and scheduling several crews, any tips to help...make that easier? I usually use week view to schedule jobs, and as I am growing and have more than one crew, and crews are going to jobs at the same times... any specific tips to help with having that more organized? I am using the color coding a little, but any specific ways that you guys have tried, that have really helped, would be greatly appreciated (or any other help scheduling would be great!) Thanks!!!
