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.
Landscape Maintenance Business - Considering Restructuring Production Crews
When I first started in the landscaping business in 2015 I started running 2 person production crews that would do basic bed maintenance and mulching which is the core of business. I then for some reason or another we started running 3 person production teams likely in 2017 and have every since. Taking a long look at our payroll numbers annually and just efficiency I think it would be best to move back to a 2 person crews as we go out with a dump truck equipped with a dump trailer and walk behind skid steer so our equipment makes us more efficient to go back to a 2 person crew. How many team members are on your landscape maintenance crews? How many team members are on your landscape installation crews?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!!!Do you utilize battery-powered tools?
Handheld battery-powered tools have come a long way from their first iterations, especially over the past few years. I've started making the switch away from gas-powered equipment throughout the last few seasons for my business and have found the switch to be positive for my workflow and bottom line. This is a trend I believe will continue as batteries become more powerful and long-lasting. Are you utilizing any battery-powered equipment and, if so, do you have any favorites you'd like to share??How do you utilize reports in your business?
I am curious to hear which reports you consider most valuable in your business and what actions are taken based on those reports if anyone is willing to share. Are there reports that you use regularly in Jobber or reports that you wish were part of Jobber? If so how do you utilize the information that the reports provide? Are changes made based on the reports? Is the data used to create the reports monitored internally for consistency? Thanks for sharing all input is helpful!
Rescheduling multiple clients at once
Hey everyone! I’m curious to as if anyone has an efficient way to let clients know that we had to reschedule their job due to weather. Currently we have lots of visits on a day and when it gets rained out then we have to reach out to each individual person and let them know we have to move their service date (which take a long time). I know technically I could do a marketing email in their campaign but everybody doesn’t check their emails.
Greetings
Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself on the community page. My name is Douglas Mack, I'm the owner and operator of D. Mack Lawn Care Services, LLC in the upstate of SC. I'm new to Jobber. I'm slowly switching from Square. I trying to get to know Jobber features. Later, I will be adding on other features but not right now only because I'm paying for another CRM. If there are any advice you guys have, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
