Ego Line of electric tools
Has anyone invested in the Ego line of electric tools? Is it worth it? Batteries cost significantly more than the tool itself. But how long do they last on the job? And how long does it take to get a full charge? I realize this will also depends on the size of the battery, but has anyone compared Ego's battery life to more popular (and expensive) brands like dewalt/milwaukee?How To Track Commission Plans in Your Business for Jobber
Hi Everyone, I run a lawncare/landscaping business and more recently started Crew Insight (A Jobber marketplace App). Right now, the app is focused on KPI's and metrics but many of our users have asked about commission tracking. We've built out a small MVP and a waitlist to see how we can prioritize features and the roll out. I'd love to hear what types of commission plans people have right now, and how they're tracking it. We want to make it simple to build out your commission plan, track the calculations, and give your employees a real time view into their performance. If anyone's interested in chatting or signing up for the beta, you can do so here: https://crew-insight.com/waitlistProjected revenue
I would like to look at my upcoming schedule (by day, by week, or a custom range), and see the projected revenue based on future visits. I own a lawn service/maintenance company, and we invoice our customers after every visit. For example, when I see tomorrow's schedule, I would like to see the total number of visits, the revenue associated with each visit, and the total revenue for the day. I have never found a report in Jobber for this. I'm surprised that it isn't on the dashboard. Does anyone else think similarly? Are there easy work-arounds?
Starting a New Hardscape Division While Busy with Landscape Maintenance Team
How do you actually start a new division of your business while still managing day-to-day operations? Between quoting, scheduling, and running jobs, it’s hard to carve out time to build something new. Curious how others have handled this without things falling through the cracks. What worked for you? Context: our "bread and butter" as a landscaping company has been in residential maintenance (lawn cutting, care, property clean-ups, trimming, garden care, softscape / small hardscape installs, etc.). My business partner and I are near max capacity with taking on more residential maintenance clients and would like to get into higher earning, longer term, larger projects on the install / design side of landscaping.Milwaukee vs DeWalt Tools, which one?
We’re Lock Nerds Locksmith, a Buffalo, NY-based company that’s always relied on Milwaukee tools. But we’re curious—what tools do other pros trust? We're looking for honest pros and cons between Milwaukee and DeWalt to see if it's time for us to reconsider our setup.
Managing Year-Long Jobs with Multiple Tasks & Recurring Visits
Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on how others are managing long-term jobs in Jobber that span a full year and include many steps or tasks—some one-off and some recurring. For us, scheduling a yearly maintenance job has been a challenge. Are you setting up one Job with many visits, or are you creating a separate Job for each task in the contract with multiple visits for each? When converting a quote to a job, Jobber allows multiple jobs from a single line item, which sometimes leads to duplicates and scheduling issues. Another challenge is payments by installment—we need the job total to match the installment price rather than the full contract value, and I’m wondering how others are handling this. In other programs, scheduled tasks would turn gray to indicate they had already been converted to a job. If they needed to be scheduled again, we could either add a visit to the existing job or delete it and create a new one. Does Jobber have a workflow that allows for something similar? Would love to hear how you structure your jobs to keep scheduling and payments running smoothly!Is anyone finding it hard to get a cap cover for their pickup?
I have been looking into getting a cover for the bed of my truck and a lot of places here in Toronto are saying their inventory is gone! And it will likely be a year before any new ones come in. Even used ones are being bought up for resale or even modified to fit the more popular trucks. Has anyone been looking for one and found the same supply issues?
