What is Jobber?
Jobber is field service management software that home service businesses use to handle online booking, quotes, scheduling, invoicing and payments in one place. Plans start with the basics (quotes, invoices with online payments, a website builder and reporting). Higher tiers add automated client reminders, QuickBooks Online sync, job costing, two-way SMS, custom workflow automations and crew scheduling.
Jobber also includes AI features. Jobber AI Voice lets field workers create quotes, update schedules and log notes by speaking. Jobber AI Chat answers questions using your business data, and the custom report builder generates reports from a plain description. The AI Receptionist answers calls and texts and can book jobs. It is sold as an add-on and comes included in the Plus plan.
Jobber has iOS and Android apps and fits owner-operators and service crews of up to 15 users on listed plans. Larger teams are directed to contact sales.
