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.

AI is changing the way home service businesses operate—from automating customer responses to streamlining admin work. But with all the hype, it can be hard to know where to start or what actually works. Let’s swap ideas, concerns, and tips in the thread!202Views4likes8CommentsHow I Finally Delegated Estimating (Without Hiring Another Person)
For years, estimating was the one thing I couldn’t take off my plate. We changed the org chart. We hired roles. Delegated everything we could. But estimating? That was always me. Even if I wasn’t doing anything else in the business... I was still stuck quoting jobs. It was the bottleneck I couldn’t fix—until now. I built a ChatGPT-powered estimator trained with my systems, my pricing, and my language. It asks the right questions, runs the math, and delivers estimates like I would—without me being involved. Now I’m no longer the bottleneck. Customers get quick answers. I get my evenings and weekends back. Want to build your own? Map out your estimating logic. Plug it into ChatGPT. Test and refine. If you're stuck working all day and doing estimates at night and on Saturdays anddddd, sometimes even Sunday mornings when everyone's sleeping—this might be your way out.

Hello all, My name is Kyle, and I'm the Office Manager with my company. Recently, we've made some moves to further improve the list of products that we sell, and services we provide. With this being said, our current method of keeping track of our inventory will have to improve with this. Does anyone know of any inventory management apps that integrate with Jobber that they'd recommend? I've looked into adding Ply into our Jobber, but I'm not entirely sure that it will solve all of our issues. I'm looking for some other routes we could take that could potentially work better for us. Thank you all for any and all recommendations! Kyle659Views4likes9CommentsCurious ... do most teams back up job 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 I’m 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! Josh60Views0likes0Commentsveterans connect

Hi everyone! My company is new to Jobber and we are working on getting all the details set up within the portal. So far so good, but there is one hurdle we are trying to overcome - technicians' capability to clock in and out for the day. I do not want it to be possible for them to do so on their phone because, as everyone can imagine, time theft could occur. Though I understand that there are features for automatic location timers and way points, it seems like that would be more work involved for us to monitor accuracy and make edits on time punches on a daily basis. I also know that we can set up a tablet in the office for our techs to clock in/out when they are physically on site to start and end their day, but using their email to log into Jobber to do so would pose the issues - most of our techs are not English speaking and do not use email so it would take time for them to log in/out each day. Our previous program had the capability for our techs to clock in/out using a tablet in office with a 4-digit code (the last digits of their phone number). We liked this because of the ease, speed, and simplicity it took for everyone. Sorry for my long-winded post, but all in all, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on ways we can make the daily clocking in/out the most efficient and uncomplicated for EVERYONE involved, meaning techs AND office personnel. I appreciate the help and advice!475Views1like7CommentsTechnician Performance Report
I am just coming over from service titan.. One report that is really important to me is technician performance report we had. We could see their avg ticket, their daily avg, month to date sales ect... a report that I can see how much a tech has invoiced for is imperative. Any chance this is coming? How are you other business owners tracking how your tech's are doing? I don't want to pay the guy who is doing bare min. the same as the guys who are taking their job seriously well organised and hustling.430Views1like5CommentsBest Work Flow for Ordering
Hi everyone! Does anyone currently use Jobber in their work flow specifically for when making orders. For example if you place an order for equipment how do you let the team know? Do you set up a task in Jobber with the tracking number? Looking to optimize our current workflow and didn’t know if Jobber was a good one for it or if I need to look into another system. Thank you in advance!107Views0likes1Comment
