Spreadsheets
I am the VP of Operations for a high-volume surveying company in Texas. We started using Jobber about 10 ago years when we really started to grow and needed a place to schedule and store all of our data. Over the last couple years, we have started experiencing issues with keeping track of deadlines. We have multiple different spreadsheets via google docs where we track timelines. We will use jobber to create a task and once the surveying task is completed, we then create a new task under the same job for a survey drawing to be completed. However, jobber is not great about being able to sort via due dates, so we end up adding this information to different spreadsheets. Those spreadsheets then get additional specific information added to them. I have 5 full time admins now and need to simplify this process so we can be more productive and eliminate the user errors. We do about 3,000 jobs a year through Jobber and then there will be at least 4-6 different tasks created for each job. Does anyone else push this much through jobber each year and if so how do you track your jobs deadlines. I know there are add-on apps that can help with this, so do yall use any of those apps. I am not a IT guy so need all the help i can get here.
Kits/Pricing Templates 2 part question
This is a two-part question: Are there plans to introduce kits or templates for quickly creating detailed, itemized estimates? For repeat services, it can be time-consuming to manually add multiple items on the mobile app. A template feature would allow us to add common services with one click and adjust quantities, saving time and enhancing accuracy during the first conversation with the client. Will there ever be an option where a picture of the customer’s home automatically populates once the address is input, similar to apps like Housecall Pro? This feature would provide a quick visual reference of the property, allowing for quicker and more accurate service quotes (e.g., gutter cleaning). It would also help create a great first impression by allowing us to describe the home in detail during the initial phone conversation with the customer.What are your biggest questions you have about using AI in your business?
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!
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.
Job Templates for repeat work
There should be an ability to create job templates for repeat types of work. Many business have some core services they offer and having to type out the titles every time and set the number of hours every time and then having to add the line items each time is a real hassle. There should be an ability to create a template where the title can be autogenerated by certain fields or criteria and times for those jobs can be preset with the default line items loaded. Then you would only need to select a client and property. Having templates like this would take a lot of the time consuming administrative burden off.Handling Miscommunication with Clients
Miscommunication with clients can be a big challenge. I've had a situations where a client(s) misunderstood our weather policy, leading to dissatisfaction. How do you handle miscommunication with your clients? What steps do you take to ensure clarity in your communication from the start?
Airbnb Cleaning Automated Scheduling
Hi Everyone, We own a cleaning business in Australia and use Jobber as our software. We have a lot of clients that have Airbnb properties that we clean for them. We have been researching and trying to come up with the best solution to automate the booking process, as you can imagine cleaning 100 Airbnb properties with multi bookings per week can become a admin logistical nightmare. Does anyone have any experience in this area. How have you automated the process, can you connect Airbnb with Jobber, what is the best practice of booking and scheduling these appointments?
🚨FEATURE REQUEST: Tiered Pricing on Products & Services 🚨
Hey Jobber Team and Fellow Pros, Let’s talk about a feature that could seriously boost close rates and make Jobber even more competitive for all of us who quote services, manage inventory, and work in price-sensitive markets. What we need: Tiered Pricing on Products and Services — customizable pricing where the unit cost automatically adjusts based on quantity ordered. Why this matters: We already price materials like mulch, sod, and stone this way in real life. It would speed up quoting, improve estimate accuracy, and help us win more jobs. It mirrors how customers expect to see pricing — more they buy, less they pay per unit. How it would work: Let users define pricing tiers for any product/service: 1–10 units = $10/unit 11–50 units = $8/unit 51+ units = $6/unit These price breaks should auto-calculate during estimate creation and carry through to invoicing. Why Jobber Should Care: Makes Jobber more competitive vs. other platforms offering advanced pricing features. Helps your users convert more jobs = more usage and more loyalty to Jobber. Reflects real-world pricing logic we already use outside the app. If you'd use this — drop a comment or like to help get this in front of Jobber’s dev team. Let’s get this done together!
