Drywall or multi visit scheduling
Would love to hear what others are doing to mitigate the manual chaos of scheduling multiple visits. Currently right now as quotes are approved we build the jobs in a Google sheets we call our schedule board. We build all the visit blocks and then put them on techs accordingly. We meet once a week to go over the board for the following week and once we agree and finalize it we then build all those appointments into Jobber. That summary doesn't sound too daunting but trust me it is, there has to be a better way to schedule jobs as they come in. Less manual intervention. I would love to hear what other companies are doing in this space. Thanks

Hey guys, We do small average job size electrical jobs in the Vancouver Canada area. I got really sick of driving around to all of these quotes especially when you're getting a few tire kickers. So we've changed over to doing all of our quotes through video calls. There's a software I've been using for this it's basically Taylor made for this kind of application and it just works a lot better than FaceTime, WhatsApp, and zoom. It's called live switch contact and you can check out their site here : https://www.liveswitch.com/ Great company, updating constantly and really nice people working over there. Anyways the reason I'm posting this is that they now have a jobber integration. They've built this right into the client profile which makes using the service even easier. Here's a link to a video I recorded just explaining it a little bit. https://us02web.zoom.us/clips/share/A2F3MRZIQmc2WjNBZ1RVU0hSLVZKVWFGUU9nAQ If you have any questions about it or quoting remotely through video definitely reach out to me.The Handyman Business Machine: Non-Negotiables for Scaling
Non-negotiables that turn a handyman business into a repeatable machine—systems that make the business operate whether you “feel like it” or not. Think standardized scope, flat-rate pricing, SOPs, quality control, scheduling discipline, job costing, and a comp plan that rewards speed + quality. If you had to boil scaling down to 5–10 tenets, what are yours—and which ones moved the needle the most? Make sure they are measurable actions and results. “What doesn’t get measured doesn’t get done.” - Peter Drucker
Roofing Contract
Howdy all, I've been doing low-cost handyman work in my business for the last several months. I just got licensed as a roofer and would like to get started in the business. However, I want to make sure I have a good contract prepared so that when I start getting clients, I can make sure I'm protected. What would you all recommend as a starting place? Do you have templates you've used for client contracts? Thanks in advance!
Inventory Management
Hi Everyone, I run a small appliance repair company in Nova Scotia. Our current strain with using jobber is lack of inventory management. We keep essentially inventory in 2 different places, the technicians truck and in the shop. The shop is split into 2 sections. Customer parts that we receive in for specific jobs and just warehouse stock of parts we keep around. We have seriously been considering switching to a different program for lack of features that fit with jobber on this. If anyone has any recommendations that you have personally used I would love to hear about it. In my ideal world a technician would be able to add a line item and enter a part number and it would say "you have this in your truck" so he can select it and it will alert us that he is using it from his truck to reorder. This is a strain on our growing business and I am hoping there is a solution so we do not have to leave jobber. Thanks, Jacob.
