Jobber Product Updates: 2023 Year in Review
A lot can happen in a year of a home service business, and the same can be said for us here at Jobber. Let’s take a look back at product highlights from 2023, and how Jobber has evolved to help you save time running a successful home service business.
Job profitability tracking, made easy
Job costing
Manage your profitability without spending hours switching between spreadsheets, receipts, and bank statements.
- Real-time job profitability: On your jobs, you can now see a profit bar that automatically updates based on your tracked prices and costs.
- All your costs in the same place: Materials, labor, and expenses are all accounted for, with no double entry required.
- Improved pricing and cost estimates: The updated one-off jobs report lets you easily compare multiple jobs, so you can improve pricing and cost estimate accuracy.
- Profitability trends: Next to your jobs list, view a revenue vs. cost comparison over time and a monthly breakdown of your costs and profit.
Job costing is available on the Grow plan. Learn more about job costing.
Job insights
See a visual representation of your most important revenue metrics that help you easily understand how your one-off jobs are performing.
Job insights are available on Core, Connect, and Grow plans. Learn more about job insights.
Better scheduling and routing
Online booking
Save time scheduling and driving with online booking. Bookings made online are automatically scheduled around existing appointments to help you be more efficient with your time.
- Control your calendar: your availability is based on the scheduling preferences you set up
- Get jobs booked faster: bookings are automatically scheduled and assigned in the calendar for you
- Spend less time on the road: bookings are scheduled around existing, nearby jobs to limit how much you’re driving
Online booking is available on Connect and Grow plans. Learn more about online booking.
Arrival windows
Give your customers an arrival window instead of a fixed start time, to give yourself more flexibility and better set client expectations.
Arrival windows are available on Connect, and Grow plans. Learn more about arrival windows.
Map view in the mobile app
Now you don’t need to be at your computer to view your daily visits on a map, so you can stay on track and make on-the-go scheduling decisions for you and your team.
Map view is available on Core, Connect, and Grow plans. Learn more about map view.
Easier payroll and team collaboration
Location timers
Save time on payroll by automatically capturing your team’s time spent at the job site. Location timers automatically start and stop when your team arrives at and leaves a client’s property. Or, Jobber can send a push notification reminder based on their location.
Pro Tip: When you use location timers and job costing, you get an accurate picture of labor costs associated with each job, with less effort.
Location timers are available on the Grow plan. Learn more about location timers.
Spanish-language Jobber mobile app
Spanish-speaking team members can now more easily manage their work in Jobber, including viewing their schedule, sending “on my way” texts, using timers, invoicing, and collecting payment.
The Spanish-language mobile app is available on all plans . Learn more about the Spanish-language mobile app.
