Can AI create accurate inventories from photos or walkthroughs for estimates?
Anyone here using AI to build inventories from photos or on‑site for moving quotes? We’re a moving company looking to automate as much of the quote process as possible. Right now, we’re still doing a lot of manual inventory collection and data entry, and it’s slowing us down and leaving room for mistakes. I’m specifically interested in: AI tools that can take phone photos or short videos (or an on‑site walkthrough) and automatically create an itemized inventory we can use for estimates. Anything that can recognize furniture/boxes from images and turn that into quantities, cube/weight, or at least a structured checklist. Workflows where the customer does a virtual survey themselves and we just review and price it. Bonus points if it can be integrated within jobber If you’re doing this today, which software are you using, how accurate is it, and what does your workflow look like from first contact to approved quote? Any “don’t waste your time on this tool” stories are welcome too.How Do You Manage Sales to Production Hand Offs?
I have two problems I could use some insight on for you companies that have a sales person and a production side of the business: How do you communicate the promises made to your customers in the sales process to those who are executing? Specifically for those GCs and Handymen who have varied scopes from project to project Is there a software that can help with that? Jobber gets you half way there with the Sales tab but it's not expanded (yet, I'm going to message them) so I'd like to have some sort of system so I can see where a project is at a glance. I just hired a production manager but I've always done sales and production managing so it's easy for me to make notes in jobber for the field staff. I'm trying to devise a system that I can get this info to the production manager without having 1000 meetings about every single job.Best Jobber Automations
I just wanted to get a post going for these. They can be super powerful in your business and I feel like they don't get talked about enough sometimes. What are your best Jobber automations you have set up?? I really enjoy dashboards myself that give more custom information about my business. I like to use Airtable / Asana / Zapier. Cheers !New Google Search Features: Online Estimates Filter and “Have AI Check Prices” — what does this mean for service pros?
Google has recently started rolling out new pricing-related features in local home service search, and they could impact how service businesses get discovered. Two early changes we’re seeing: “Online estimates” filter Google is beginning to surface an Online estimates filter in some home service searches. Early signs suggest businesses that provide clear, machine-readable pricing or instant estimates may be favored over generic contact forms. “Have AI check prices” or “Ask AI for Pricing” feature Google is also testing an AI feature that gathers pricing on a homeowner’s behalf by using AI to call businesses and collect price quotes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=illIa8LSfY0 These features are still new and evolving, but they raise big questions about pricing transparency, estimates, and local search visibility. We’re curious: Have you noticed either of these features in your area yet? Do you currently show pricing or estimate ranges online? Do changes like this make you rethink how you approach pricing and Google visibility? Would love to hear what service pros are seeing so far 👇Using AI in your in person quoting?
I walk with clients during my in person estimate and I hear their pain points, their frustrations, their real-life struggles. But here is the thing, how many of those golden nuggets are we actually capturing and leveraging? I have started using AI to transcribe and analyze my client walkthroughs, and it has become a bit of a game-changer. Suddenly, that offhand comment Jennifer made about never having her whole house clean at once? That's not just a conversation, it is a marketing goldmine, relatability and authenticity. It is the real struggle our ideal clients are facing. But I am curious: How are you leveraging your client conversations? Are you capturing those golden nuggets, their pain points, their objections, the emotional drivers and turning them into content, testimonials, or business insights? What tools or strategies are working for you to extract the real value from your client interactions?Are you using AI in your business yet or still “just curious”?

Using AI and Voice to Capture Job Notes and Follow-Ups in Real Time
Hi everyone, I wanted to start a discussion around how home service teams capture job notes, follow-ups, and action items during busy workdays, especially while on-site, on calls, or moving between jobs in Jobber. In many service workflows, essential details come up verbally: - Notes after a customer conversation - Follow-ups discussed on the phone - Reminders during travel between jobs These often get entered into the system later, which can lead to missed context or extra admin work at the end of the day. One approach we’ve been exploring is using AI-powered voice input through tools like Gennie, where teams can speak notes or tasks and have them synced back into their existing systems while Jobber remains the system of record. I’m interested to hear from others here: - How do you currently capture job notes or follow-ups when typing isn’t convenient? - Do you update everything in real time or batch it later? - Would voice-based input be helpful in field operations, or does it create more overhead? Looking forward to learning how others approach AI and operations in real-world home service workflows.You've got the time tracking data, now what?
Once you’re tracking time (in Jobber or other methods), the next question is: what do you actually do with all that data? In the latest Masters of Home Service episode, Jerry Jackson and Forrest Derr discuss using weekly time tracking reports not just for payroll, but also for making informed decisions that impact efficiency, profitability, and team culture. (Jump to the 11:07 mark) Here are a few ideas from the episode to get the conversation started: Track unbillable time (like shop hours or supply runs) as its own job to help spot inefficiencies. Set SPH (sales per hour) and unbillable time targets for your team—and make them visible. Get your team to report their own time and performance metrics to build ownership and accountability. How are you using time tracking? What changes have you made (or want to make) based on what the data is telling you? Share your wins, your hurdles, or even the metrics you wish you understood better.
