Inventory Management
Hi Everyone, I run a small appliance repair company in Nova Scotia. Our current strain with using jobber is lack of inventory management. We keep essentially inventory in 2 different places, the technicians truck and in the shop. The shop is split into 2 sections. Customer parts that we receive in for specific jobs and just warehouse stock of parts we keep around. We have seriously been considering switching to a different program for lack of features that fit with jobber on this. If anyone has any recommendations that you have personally used I would love to hear about it. In my ideal world a technician would be able to add a line item and enter a part number and it would say "you have this in your truck" so he can select it and it will alert us that he is using it from his truck to reorder. This is a strain on our growing business and I am hoping there is a solution so we do not have to leave jobber. Thanks, Jacob.What is your favorite time-saving app?
Hands down, my favorite productivity tool for Windows is Beeftext (sorry, Mac users!). As an executive administrative assistant and customer service representative, this app saves me countless hours of typing every week. What is Beeftext? Beeftext is a free, open-source text substitution tool for Windows that transforms short keywords into longer text snippets. Whether you’re tired of retyping email signatures, markdown templates, or your favorite kaomojis, Beeftext lets you create “combos” that automatically expand your shortcuts in any app that supports copy and paste. It’s lightweight, respects your privacy, and is completely ad-free—ideal for anyone who types a lot and wants to work smarter, not harder. You can learn more and download it here: https://beeftext.org/ The developer confirms it’s 100% safe and clean: https://github.com/xmichelo/Beeftext/wiki/Beeftext-is-safe Getting started is simple: https://github.com/xmichelo/Beeftext/wiki/Getting-started Pro tip: I use the equals sign (=) as my trigger key since I rarely need it otherwise. For example, typing =hi automatically expands to: Hi, it’s Rob from Wright Restorations Canada. Thank you for reaching out. How can I assist you today? Beeftext is very user-friendly, works in most apps and only takes a few minutes to master. Highly recommended for anyone looking to save time and reduce repetitive typing!
🚨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!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!Drywall or multi visit scheduling
Would love to hear what others are doing to mitigate the manual chaos of scheduling multiple visits. Currently right now as quotes are approved we build the jobs in a Google sheets we call our schedule board. We build all the visit blocks and then put them on techs accordingly. We meet once a week to go over the board for the following week and once we agree and finalize it we then build all those appointments into Jobber. That summary doesn't sound too daunting but trust me it is, there has to be a better way to schedule jobs as they come in. Less manual intervention. I would love to hear what other companies are doing in this space. ThanksBest 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 !
Best way to handle inbound calls to company line?
Curious yalls thoughts. Looking to not just grow, looking to scale and improve / continue to implement systems. Currently have myself, 1 outside sales rep, and field labor crew (fence install company) current process: customer calls into company # (my cell phone). I try to answer as if it were an office line to answer asap. From that, I confirm I can Text them, I then send a request form via jobber that has basic info / few questions to answer. If / when they fill it out, I add to the schedule for a confirmed day / time to quote on site. etc…… I feel this part is a lot of back and forth, and until I have an in house admin office worker that can answer these calls the first ring - I won’t be able to truly grow / stay efficient. (If I’m tied up, I don’t like calling them back 2 hours later, etc) but also - I love having them fill out the form bc the way I have questions on it, it turns it from a warm lead, to a warmer lead. Any way to streamline this, get more efficient, improve this current process? ANY thoughts or advice - real thankful.I want to integrate Jobber with ____________?

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! Kyle
