I built and am testing TechLine. Simply put, it allows me to use Jobber Api, to track off app, and track via my own app. The TechLine app, allows me to clock in and out if jobs, record expenses and post them to jobber under the correct job number. Add notes, photos, complete a visit. Basically everything jobber app does...but....
It also stores all the data into a spreadsheet. When we complete a job, it will take all the job info that was collected, and turn it into usable data. From the total time on the job, to any expense that we posted to that job...but your going to say, Jobber does that...yup it does...with some issues. Try and post a expense to a job, while the job is open...does not exist. Time is good no issues there.
The system takes all the data collected, then tells me what we should be charging based off what I have set for my overhead, profit on labor, profit on materials, my company tech base rate. IT will give me my bid or invoice price. It will also tell me exactly what that job cost the company, and when I enter the bid amount, it will tell me exactly what my NET Margin is...Jobber does not do this...it gives you the Gross Margin. This way I know exactly what profit that job made even after overhead...
Secondly, the api keys are being used to auto generate estimates. From my plaud, to claude, to claude web browser, to my spreadsheets, it will souce price and store all info for us to order as needed. I just type in the quote number, and it goes to work...at the end, we check over the estimate, and hit send...every aspect of sourcing is done with claude web browser and the api keys for Jobber.
We now do estimates in less than 10 min.
This allows my office staff to work on other things, to generate revenue.
