New to Jobber, Quotes including pictures worth it?
Hey guys, I wanted to hear your thoughts on jobber quotes not including pictures for estimates in the core package? We are a full service property maintenance & Landscaping company. Anybody switch from core to grow because of it? We have a small team but growing. Last crm did have this feature on their middle plan and our clients loved it. It was extempore helpful to us as well. Was wondering if this is something we should switch to that would make a huge difference?6Views0likes1CommentHow to back up job photos and files from Jobber?
Hey all, just wondering if this is something others have run into. A few of our clients have been talking about how they handle long-term storage of job photos and documents, especially when staff leave, or when they want to organize files outside of Jobber. Some mentioned wanting to move things to Google Drive or DropBox automatically, but Iβm not sure how common that need really is. Just curious, have you or your team thought about this? Is keeping a backup of Jobber media files part of your process, or not really a concern? Appreciate any thoughts!

I'm changing the lead source to consolidate door to door leads from per person to just Door to Door for my reporting. Jobber Ai says to go to each one to change it - duh, but I don't want to go through all my clients and find them. I tried both search bars when I'm on the client list, but neither is working. Any other tips - I'd love toSolved59Views0likes4CommentsWeather Widget ππ§οΈβοΈπ₯
Is it possible to integrate Jobber with a weather app? On the dashboard, we were thinking a 7-day forecast could be visible. Also, I thought a small temperature reading on the monthly calendar would be visible. We also thought the weather for the day could be captured and saved as an internal note for the job.Solved128Views3likes5CommentsPLEASE add a kit function
Even the bottom of the barrel CRM that I'm currently using has a robust kit function. Create products with fully editable costs and quantities, then add those products to a kit (in this case, what a "service" should be). Once a kit is entered into a quote, individual products are hidden from the customer, but fully editable when creating the quote. As it is now, I have no idea what the difference between a "product" and a "service" are. They both have the same info (name, description, cost, etc). You should just be able to group products to form services. If i have a product of "labor" and a product of "receptacle". I should then be able to create a service of "Replace Receptacle". That service would consist of my labor product, and my receptacle product. Both with quantities and costs that I could edit when creating a quote. Since not all receptacles are the same, and my customer doesnt care whether its a duplex or a decor, being able to edit the cost of that receptacle, straight from the kit during quote creation, would be amazing.Solved148Views2likes8CommentsFeature Request: Hourly Line Items That Auto-Track Labor Time
Hey Jobber Team and fellow users, Iβd love to see a feature added that allows us to mark a Job or Line Item as βHourly,β where Jobber automatically tracks labor time during a visit. (yes, labor time is already tracked, but it does not populate invoices automatically with the labor time total) Hereβs the idea: When a team member clocks in and out for a visit, Jobber would log the total man hours and automatically populate that into the invoice line item when itβs generated. Example: If a visit takes 3.5 total man hours across the crew, and the rate is $60/hr, the invoice line would automatically show: Labor (Hourly) β 3.5 hrs @ $60/hr = $210 This would be a huge time-saver and ensure invoices accurately reflect labor hours without needing to manually edit or calculate them later. Why it matters: Eliminates human error in time-based billing Speeds up invoicing for hourly work Keeps job costing more consistent and transparent **Would also love to see labor time displayed in decimal!** Would love to hear if others are interested in this too β and if Jobber could consider adding it as a future update!116Views1like2CommentsOut of cell service area access
Wondering how many of us work in areas that have poor or no cell coverage? In my area that is quite frequent and we can't access jobber online or the app so no job time tracking or marking it as completed, etc. Is there any way around it beside waiting to have cell/data service? Thank you,Solved39Views1like2CommentsCreating Teams In Team Management
Good day to all, I wanted to see if this is something that Jobber is planning on implementing anytime in the very near future. For those of us that run a landscape company we typically run in teams. As of right now, it appears that things are a little harder than it should be, just personal opinion. Here is the scenario: Current: Every employee has their own app where they clock in and clock out, that's great. However, If you are running a team of 2 or 3 personnel, each member not only has to clock in, but has to start a timer and stop a timer at each and every job site. This becomes a nightmare when it's time to approve times. For those of us in this industry, I think you feel this pain as well. I'm sure you've figured a work around, but at the sacrifice of not knowing your true job cost in labor. Idea..... Future: In team management, create teams, this is where a company can have multiple teams, example Alpha team, Bravo team. Alpha team has 3 men on the crew and Bravo has 4 men on the crew. Each team is assigned a day's schedule and a team leader. The team leader would be responsible for starting and stopping time at each work site. While the employee all they need to do is clock in and clock out. There are other platforms that run this script and drastically improves time spent on the computer sorting through everyone's timesheets. This would be an exponential improvement on the contractor's side of things. What are your thoughts?407Views5likes6CommentsSuggestion: Quotes / Invoices Sub Items for Main Line Item
Hello Jobber Team, π οΈ Why We Use Sub-Items in Our Quotes & Invoices When it comes to handyman and construction work, no two jobs are exactly alike β and we believe your quote should reflect that. Thatβs why we organize our quotes and invoices with main line items and sub-items, and hereβs why that matters: β Customizable Work Scopes Sometimes a project includes optional jobs based on your preferences or budget. For example, your quote might include: β’ Job 1: Deck Repair ββ- Materials ββ- Labor β’ Job 2 (Optional): Flooring Install ββ- Materials ββ- Debris Disposal Fee ββ- Labor You can easily see what's included and choose what fits your needs. β Transparency You Can Trust No vague charges or confusing totals. Every part of the job is broken down so you can see exactly what you're getting β from screws and wood planks to disposal and labor. β Smoother Approvals & Communication Want to move forward with just one section of the job for now? No problem. Sub-items make it easy to discuss, approve, or remove parts without reworking the entire quote. β Budget-Friendly Flexibility This system lets us work with you on cost β you can prioritize essential work and schedule optional items for later, all while keeping track of the big picture. At the end of the day, we want your estimate to be as clear, flexible, and tailored as the work we provide. π§°π60Views0likes1Comment
