I've been trying jobber for a couple weeks. Only issue is it takes to long to get money. Also not big on p.m software tracking. Still learning tho

[calebroskamp]

In your experience, what’s the difference between Jobber and FP? I’m in the middle of a week long FP demo period. Trying to start out right.

Also do you use paper notes or take on tablet. Any simple estimate software you recommend.

I just got a iPad pro 11 to try and get to next level

Also can't partial bill at least what I've figured out and not sure how to add the 3% credit card fee

Can I use your paperwork if I'm an electrical contractor in Canada? Do you use any specific rules related to your area only?

Hey Jeff, have you used Markate? Just started it a few weeks ago. Great add on options.

Next insurance dropped me because I was an electrical contractor check to see if they offer it

[cryptokeeper]

Why do we need you paperwork if we sign up for jobber. Couldn't we just add terms and conditions to there quotes.

Hey Jeff I have a lawyer on retainer I pay so much a month

Apparently, Jobber only does QBO integration. That's a game ender for us that hate QBO. Desktop has way more functionality than QBO. I do get it, though; Intuit is going to do away with QB Desktop. They've already done so in the EH. QBO has a LONG way to go for it to be comparable to Desktop. Unfortunately for me, game changer.

Because field software does not hold up in court like paperwork
