Jobber Reviews

Jobber is the BEST

Comments: I first started using jobber almost 5 years ago when I decided to test out the free trial. Since that day, I have continued using the software and have grown my business over 400%. I think one of my favourite parts about jobber is the level of exceptional customer service; not only online but also in person. Additionally, my work flow for my business has improved a vast amount over the years. Invoicing: What used to take me hours, is now a simple 30 minute task. Quoting: What used to be done on a scrap piece of paper, is now done on my iPhone. Scheduling: What used to be done on excel, is now organized through the online calendar which can be accessed anywhere, anytime. Overall, I would recommend jobber to anyone running a service based business, and would be happy to answer any further questions.

Pros:

-The jobber platform is very easy to use and can be learned quickly. -Batch invoice creation is extremely helpful. -Jobber makes quoting, booking and scheduling jobs a breeze! -Having a client hub is a real crowd pleaser.

Cons:

Jobber is overall a 5/5 software system that has been the best thing for helping my business grow. Over the almost 5 years of using Jobber, the only thing I would like to remind people is that once you delete something, there is no way to get it back. I accidentally deleted an invoice once, and it was gone for good. This was my mistake, so as long as you're more cautious than I was that day, you'll be good.

I can't imagine going back to the time "before" Jobber.

Comments: It was really hard for my and my manager to fully learn and then immerse our company into Jobber parameters. We are there now and still finding ways to use the tasks, events, reminders etc to help us keep things running smoothly

Pros:

Jobber enables my company to retain more information and service more client homes. With Jobber's help, we have been able to build 40% more business this year over last year. I don't think we could have done that without the software to manage it all. Payments come in quickly, we have less cancellations due to the reminder notifications. Tipping has gone way up with the tip feature in Jobber payments. We likely win more bids due to the professional appearance of Jobber. It has upped our communication with clients to a higher level. Integrates well with our reviews program in NiceJob. The request form is so valuable to us as we have it connected to our website and it funnels leads in the back door. The benefits are many and the pain points few.

Cons:

sync errors with Quickbooks are many, automated job timers don't function for us so we can't use that portion of the system, sometimes the tipping function is hard to find for our customers and they end up not tipping, automated reminders cannot be cancelled or retrieved short notice, several other little things but these are on the top of our list

They Don't Seem To Care

Comments: Unfortunately I will be going back to the program I was using prior because they will give me a cheaper rate, have instant payments immediately and it's easy to use.

Pros:

Scheduling works great and it's easy to setup.

Cons:

Text messages don't get to customers including invoices without having to call my customers Everytime to see if they received invoice to pay bill. It has become a habit for me to call customers to ensure there receiving it otherwise I don't get paid. Also the instant pay, they left out at sign up that you have to be with them 6 months and have $10,000 in sales before they will approve it. I think that's a joke for the money your paying I feel it should be immediately just like the last program I was using.

A must have business partner

Comments: Exceptional in every facet of my daily use and invaluable to my supporting team

Pros:

The general ease of use was my initial favorite part of using Jobber. In the year since implementing this tool I have grown to love how committed J9bber is to updating and improving it's features.

Cons:

I have no negatives about Jobber that I can think of.

Ease of booking

Comments: Increased business efficiency since we started using jobber in the summer of last year. Our customers like the ease of booking as well.

Pros:

Flexibility to suit our business needs. We have a customized approach to communication with our clients. Jobber has enough variety to customize our target clients.

Cons:

Not much. It’s a pretty solid platform. Perhaps a few bugs in the initial stages of operation, but that was quickly resolved.

Jobber user for life!

Comments: We've been using jobber for a few years now and it has taken our company to a different level! The App, scheduling, time tracking, billing, customer communication and the fact that they have widgets/other companies that coincide with Jobber to help with our website and reviews. These are all features that we utilize every single day of operation. I would recommend Jobber to anyone looking to take your company to the next level and get away from paper work-orders, time sheets, outlook calendar and the other old school ways of running things.

Pros:

Ease of use, communication and support, simple layout and user friendly for our employees

Cons:

We haven't experienced any cons with Jobber

Software that changed my life

Comments: Easy to understand along with great customer support as needed when getting started or while training my next best employee. I love the options that allow my use of Jobber to grow as my company grows…adding just the features that we need and not paying for what we don’t use.

Pros:

Ease of operation and how it allows a small business to operate just as professionally as the larger businesses. Jobber is also regularly updating and improving to be even more relevant and practical.

Cons:

Nothing really. It’s been excellent from the very beginning.

Jobber: Best Lawn Care Software I Have Used

Comments: My experience has been amazing! They have amazing customer support, and they are a fantastic company to work with. My employees love the software more than any other software we have used in the past!

Pros:

Constant improvement Marketing tabs, makes it super easy to get Google reviews. All in one software, everything is right on my phone

Cons:

Some features like Gusto do not sync as well as I had hoped The app is slow during some random points during the day

Good review

Comments: It’s been good, I really like the way everything looks and the constant updates

Pros:

I like the support team and the quote form.

Cons:

The price feels a bit more then other companies.

Pgp landscape inc

Comments: I like it a lot however the snow routing and scheudle could be improved as well as unscheduled jobs

Pros:

The payments and scheudling, is very easy

Cons:

Dispatch board and the snow route need improvment

Get you in and keep your money and don't honor trial

Comments: Lost Money

Pros:

The customer service people were great. The scheduling and time sheet function was quite easy to manage.

Cons:

I began using the trial then I receive a call from one of there team and we go over the functions of the product. I asked them about the estimating process and if I could have primary headers and then sub categories and he said yes in the description section. The problem is there is no pricing function in the description area for estimating your job. So I call and they customer service says oh it won't do that it will all have to be entered in per line to do it that way. I then ask is there a way to have services cost not show on the final estimate and it does, but if you add any products that would be bought from a store those items also would end up not showing with a price. So your bid would end up as a sub total with everything combined or you have to show everything to get it to show. Now I have just given a free pass to the owners to pass my bid around to see what I charge per line item. I called them to address this 5 days after signing up based on sales persons information and when I call them to get a refund of the $104 I paid. I asked if I could speak to billing and oh guess what billing doesn't have a phone. So I asked for them to speak with them and I get told since I paid the money to get the discount to move out of the trial and have an account I don't qualify for the 14 day guarantee. Also, the job form doesn't go along with the job from day to day. It resets to a new job form for each day. So you have to go back find the job in schedule and review there.

Overall a great program

Comments: Ease of use and quickly putting in jobs. Could do a lot better if their software handled client credit on account and texting freestyle and dropped their monthly payment to more reasonable price for small business to use.

Pros:

Great look and ease of use. Works on all devices.

Cons:

Compared to other programs like this, The cost for options is quite high. They are pushing more to have credit cards processed through them and have done away with paypal payments. There is only texting of canned messages. My biggest issue. Over all though the $130.00 a month for half way decent options is to high. If you pay a full year in advance then that price goes to 99.00 a month. So charging you 30 more paying by the month is another down fall for this software. To pay in advance for small business it penalizes them. Another downfall is how it handles your clients that over pay or pay in advance by applying credit to their account. I does not handle this very well at all!

Pretty with minimal functionality

Comments: Poor experience.

Pros:

The software did look nice. They have the touch and feel of a modern CRM / ERP.

Cons:

The software has numerous Cons: 1. The schedule view does not have a monthly view when on the mobile app and syncing it with another app removes the purpose of a one stop shop CRM. 2. The "Two Way Texting" does not allow you to initiate conversations with previous customers, or potential new clients. 3. Route scheduling is cumbersome and underdeveloped. 4. Customer support is wildly unaccommodating and rude if you run into a snag when compared with similar CRMs that have a strong focus on customer service. The list goes on, I like to try all systems on my businesses to see what works best for both back office and field techs. This specifically was one of my worst experiences with a CRM. It was the second time I ever deployed a new system where my field techs were actually more bogged down than they were prior to deployment.

Easy, Simple but Powerful App

Comments: Overall our experience has been great. We haven't had to contact customer service but a couple of times and they are on top of it and that is very important to me as the admin, because I am not with my employees all day, I am at the office and when they have a problem, I point them to Jobber customer service and you guys are awesome. Our employees are able to really track their time on the jobs which in the end will help them when they apply for their own electrical license.

Pros:

The fact that it was very easy to implement and get our staff on the app with such ease. The customer service is awesome. I can't tell you how many times I have punted questions from my employees over to the customer service chat on their own devices to answer their specific questions.

Cons:

I wish that when we invoiced from Jobber and synced it with Quickbooks, that if we have a change on that invoice, that the change would sync over to quickbooks as well. I wish that there was like a daily journal feature that could be implemented somehow. My husband comes home at night and physically writes down all the things he did that day. So like a check list for himself. If I could get him to do on his Ipad, it would save him some time I think.

Wilkins Wildlife Review

Comments: Before Jobber, the office administration side was extremely busy, balancing a separate calendar, sending separate attachments and invoices as to where we can integrate all of those things into one software platform being Jobber and minimizes time wasted it brings value to the hour, even to the minute

Pros:

Jobber is an all in one platform that allows you to properly schedule. Add your jobs you know invoice as prior to Jobber we used aJobber is an all in one platform that allows you to properly schedule. Add your jobs you know invoice as prior to Jobber. We used a standard invoice platform where we had to utilize the Google Calendar. And a lot of bouncing back-and-forth jobber eliminates the bouncing from a calendar to prepping an invoice to allowing more than one visit for a job for us. Jobber is a complete package that saves time on the administrative side and the technician side both!

Cons:

There’s not much that we don’t like about jobber, for our industry, which is Wildlife and animal control it is absolutely perfect as we are not at traditional pest control company needing all of the additional features that are software like Pest route field routes or Pest pack has and those software nine times out of 10 nickel and dime you to death.

Jobber - MY Business OSS

Comments: My overall experience with Jobber has been quite positive as it helps me immensely run my business.
It is my OSS today. It assigns and tracks all work requests, quotes, jobs and tasks. It also does our invoicing and passes data nicely to Quickbooks for great financial reporting. I just wish I had more robust reporting features with it.

Pros:

Having a system that can be quickly and easily implemented and used by small business that incorporates features including integrates that addresses 'quote to cash' work flow was essential. Jobber does the job nicely, quickly, easily and is quite affordable for any small business. It integrates nicely with financial systems such as QuickBooks too.

Cons:

Reporting is weak with the version I currently have. There are some standard reports that provide some fair data qualities but to customize reports using custom fields or job fields is quite weak. Exporting any report to Excel does not work well. I dont get the attachment file when attempting.

Good Software.....Greedy Management

Pros:

I love how easy it was to set everything up and get started with this software. The calendar is great as well as many other features.

Cons:

I HATE that I cannot charge our clients the credit card processing fee automatically. It is very time consuming to have to tell every single person to call or email the office if they want the 3% convenience fee added to their invoice and update their payment settings. This was supposed to make collecting money easy - not so time consuming and such a headache. I also HATE that management is so greedy that they would only allow pictures on line items in the most expensive plan offered. I was unaware that Jobber had a "bug" at the time I started using this and months later, half way through a quote, I suddenly discover I am no longer allowed to add pictures to line items without upgrading to the most expensive plan for an extra $100 a month. We only have 5 users and will never be interested in the additional features with the grow plan. It feels very wrong that Jobber would only give this option for $200 a month when numerous other softwares offer pictures for under $100 a month.

Beware of false advertising and predatory sales tactics!

Comments: Jobber unapologetically accepts and continues to employ false and/or misleading advertising regarding its integration with the accounting software QuickBooks.When raising this with a Customer Support Manager, I was advised that the wording was intentional, and he acknowledged that it was misleading and didn't represent the limitations of the product. Despite this acknowledgement, I was denied a refund because it's "against their policy."This could have all been avoided had I utilised the 14-day free trial. Unfortunately I opted against this because in using the free trial the website clearly stated that I would have forfeited a considerable discount (20%) on the annual fee (which, for a new, small business, this is significant).If you decide to proceed with this product, I URGE you to trial it and not purchase the product outright. Better yet, avoid the product entirely and go with a much more ethical business such as Tradify!

Pros:

UI and UX. Easy to setup and navigate. Scheduler is effective at distinguishing between jobs / assigned employees.

Cons:

The customer service, while generally polite and responsive, is dreadful. Actively acknowledging and endorsing the false and/or misleading information on their webpage regarding 2-way sync between it and the accounting software QuickBooks.The recurring job creation was also unnecessarily complex, requiring the user to specify a duration. There is no ability to specify no end date.Doesn't support B-Pay, and doesn't generate unique customer reference no.'s.

Good, could be more customizable.

Comments: We are able to make use of most of the features. For the price, it is worth it. We mainly use it for scheduling employees and keeping track of timesheets. Also, the client Database is quite useful.

Pros:

We like the scheduling and the client portal.

Cons:

We don't like the invoicing procedure. Having to add everything from the timesheet to the job is tedious and could be done easily with a change to the program.Why not have the option to populate the invoice with all of the current man hours/visits that are on the job when generating an invoice?

Has potential-needs work

Pros:

Field staff are able to easily track time in their mobile apps. Client hub is starting to be a valuable tool, it needs work though.

Cons:

You can't chat with field workers on their apps. It's difficult to bill from the mobile app. The time sheets don't properly sync with quickbooks. You can't sync your own/bank merchant account to jobber payments. Refunds take 5 days to process, you can't issue partial refunds, or take partial payments. you can't mark an invoice partially paid (construction typically does a 7% hold back of funds) It's tough to see which invoices are still outstanding. Payments do not automatically apply to invoices in quickbooks. No way to edit outline of client reminders to not include appointment times- we would like to only include appointment dates. You can't issue a credit on an invoice. you can't see aged receivables by client. You can't set individual staff availability ie; some needs monday off so it's blocked out. Instead, you have to enter a basic task and complete/delete it so your calandar doesn't get bogged down. You cant batch complete tasks jobs-need to auto complete late visits. you can't set individual payment terms for different types of clients - (one that would be really helpful, would be if issued before a day of the month, its due the following month on a day. needs an hr area for staffing meetings and notes. Clients don't like how they're currently accessing client hub- one suggestion would be a mobile app or a save to favorites button which is easily recognized by clients.

Best Software company

Pros:

What I most like about jobber is the ease of control and the client portal, my clients love being able to go in to their each unique portal and check on reoccurring jobs and upcoming visits.

Cons:

What I most dis like about jobber is the incoiving because i sometimes have to do it twice but this is not that big of a deal as i am automating everything.

Such a lifesaver!!

Comments: The customer service is the real winner in this company. They will always go above and beyond to get things figured out for you no matter what it is.

Pros:

1. Having our own number when we were on the grow plan was fantastic. 2. Two way texts and appt confirmations3. Route scheduling4. Being able to design your own work orders and invoices with adding your own fields.

Cons:

The fact that we love having all the features of the grow plan but we are a two person company and cannot see paying that much for it. We should be able to add on features.

Good but not great. Extremely slow to implement functional improvements

Comments: The biggest benefit for my industry is to have an all-in-one software that lets me manage clients, scheduling, billing, and reporting, and most importantly track and log my pesticide usage - which is a legal requirement for my industry. It does the first 4 things really well, but the chemical tracking is such a cumbersome, poorly designed abomination that I'll jump ship in a heartbeat the minute I can find a comparable CRM solution.

Pros:

It's easy(ish) to get started. There's a lot to learn, like any software, but once you get used to it it's pretty good. Menus could be better, there's important features hidden in weird areas, but there's not so many different areas to explore that it's overwhelming.The ability to integrate a contact form into a website is a big one, it makes grabbing all of a customer's basic info a snap. Creating quotes, jobs, scheduling visits, invoicing, follow ups, all a snap.The mobile app is OK, could definitely benefit from improvements though. Hard to use an app that doesn't have any offline functionality whatsoever.Customer service is decent - though it used to be GREAT. Wait times are now very long, but the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable.The ability to create your own (service) reports and job forms to attach to visits is an important and useful feature for my industry. Attaching photos and other relevant files is quick and easy.

Cons:

The short version of complaints is that Jobber devs simply don't listen. Ever. Years of submitting the same recommendations and complaints and nothing gets addressed. And I'm talking about fundamental critical changes that are vital to my industry, not cosmetic things or little bugs. But no, just the same lip service from the CS team "we'll certainly pass this along to our dev team". All they seem to be focused on improving is the offerings in their app marketplace, finding redundant integrations that no one is asking for or needs.Jobber is VERY expensive, which adds to the frustration of being ignored. If it fits your needs as is, great, but don't expect any changes.The mobile app can't be used properly offline. It won't even launch if there's no data. So if trying to access your schedule to find the address for your next appointment you'd better hope you took a screenshot of your day in the morning so you know where you need to go.Jobber doesn't push changes to client changes to QBO, instead it relies on making the changes in Quickbooks to be pushed to Jobber. We're using the CRM software as the primary tool to manage all aspects of client info, yet we have to open a completely different software to save changes to certain info.Pesticide use records. The whole thing is a mess, from top to bottom. Period.The system sends WAY too many emails to clients for various functions. I'm often marked as a spam sender and vital communcations are missed.

The Best Customer Service and Great Software

Comments: Putting tablets in the field with time tracking saved us at a lot per month in labor by holding workers accountable. Administrative time/hassle was greatly decreased. Probably save 3-5 hours a week over old software (Zenmaid). Peace of mind. It is very very nice to feel like I have a team (Jobber's support) to help us if we have any issues. It's like a free insurance policy.

Pros:

I bought a cleaning company summer 2017 that does about 500 homes per month, and needed to switch from the clunky and often failing cloud-based software we used before. I talked to several companies like Jobber, but was blown away by Jobber's level of customer service. They explained things and helped me for as long as I needed them to, to feel comfortable with switching to them. We are about four months into active use now and my expectations have not been unmet in any regard. The continued support is amazing -- any time myself or my office people have questions we hop on the chat and are quickly responded to. The best part is that Jobber continually gets better -- they are continually seeking ways to add more value to their product. User-wise, this product is great. It is so fast to navigate (no lagging between pages or searching for something). We have six crews in the field with tablets, and are able to see when and where they check in and out of each job. We can pull up a map view and see all the homes that are done so far in the day. We can easily add a crew to a home if we want to send additional help, and their tablet is automatically updated with that information. If you decide to use Jobber, be sure to know what you are doing when you enter all the customer information. Pay attention to the different areas of custom fields "Client", "Property", "Job" etc. and how they populate and do not populate to other areas. We lost some time there.

Cons:

Currently would like to see: -Automatic emails for followup able to be sent without having to close a job -- just by marking it as complete. It would be ideal if you could set the frequency of this contact -- such as every time, once per month, once per quarter, etc. I don't have many cons off the top of my head. In my opinion it is a phenomenal value for what you get.

If only I could give this software more than 5 stars!

Comments: My experience with Jobber has been amazing. Our company has grown at around 20% each year, and Jobber's systems has given us the capacity to expand without loosing quality of service. We are frequently asked how we can manage our business successfully with only one office employee. We point them to Jobber.
This isn't just the office manager's favorite software. The crew leaders, managers and owners all frequently remark on how much they love Jobber's functionality.

Pros:

There are so many things I love about Jobber that it is hard to name just one. Jobber LISTENS to their customers. I have seen time and time again my suggestions become a reality. I love the client hub - where customers can sign and pay quotes and invoices online. This is an invaluable feature this day & age.

Cons:

Most of my con's come with the sad reality that our company uses Jobber in a way that is a bit beyond its intended scope (remodeling & construction), in addition to our field services (Handyman, Lawn Mowing etc) - Invoicing: lack of flexbility in the way invoices can be displayed to customers. Templates are only minimally helpful at this time. Also, if the line item descriptions are too long (longer than one printed page for example), it will but cut off when printing. There is no way for it to continue to the next printed page. - Sales: Jobber is built on scheduling. But as a company, sales process is equally important. While Jobber shows some level of 'process' in leads, it is definitely not there yet. HOWEVER - they have promised that this is something they are working towards. - customized billing: To be clear, I LOVE Jobber's billing system. The only hiccup is their lack of ability to customer delivery methods per client.
