    Jobber - Field Service Software
    The cost of Jobber is not suitable for a startup - even our company size is hard pressed to squeeze in other areas of business to afford the cost. Zenmaid or other maid-forward services may be better suited since Jobber seems to focus it's offerings on one-off as opposed to recurring services like ours. For business who do in-person estimates like ours, the streamlined estimate feature which causes increased conversion rates makes it worth the cost - as we anecdotally gain more business this way. However, if we switch to an online booking / instant booking model as opposed to in-person estimates, we may not require this feature. Zenmaid has a "gamified" residential booking page that was extremely high converting for us - we received sometimes 30+ inquiries per day due to the ease of use - MANY more completed inquiries than we receive now - but they didn't have a quoting and deposit collection tool - so here we are. If we used their instant booking feature we would have stayed due to the scheduling tool, gap finder, prevention of double booking employees, and cleaning service focus, as well as significantly reduced pricing.

    Well suited for a larger company with many classes that need to be differentiated. It is relatively intuitive to use, whether you have used other versions of QuickBooks, or any other accounting software. Easy to dig into your accounts from wither the Balance Sheet or the Profit and Loss when trying to analyze performance.

    • Budgeting is easy to input. Our entities have multiple departments, so using classes to separate and report the results of each department is important.
    • Reports are easy to customize to provide meaningful data to the board and department managers.
    • QuickBooks Online Advanced has a large market share of accounting software in use, so it is relatively easy to find new employees with prior experience with QuickBooks Online Advanced.
    • Able to open both entities at the same time, which is helpful due to the number of transactions between the two entities.

    Cons
    Jobber - Field Service Software
    • For us, sometimes doesn't save the data, just gone, especially terrible if you have a data interruption since it has zero offline capability.
    • I think the price is way high now, made the mistake of 'upgrading' and cannot go back.
    • In my experience, way too easy to create a duplicate entry of anything, then near impossible to clean up, unless you notice it immediately.
    • I found no merge functionality. Same client has two entries? Too bad.
    • In my experience, does not work with Xero accounting software, took a long time to figure that out especially since they advertise it and that was why we chose both of them, for the supposed integration. For us, Quickbooks was also a pain.
    • In my experience, the app is unusable, must use the web version on a mobile device.
    • In my experience, the integrated payment processing cannot accept debit in Canada, only credit cards.

    • Continued growth around AI usage and tool.
    • There are still some reporting gaps that make setting up custom reports not absolutely top-tier.
    • There can be a lot of UI clutter as different features keep getting turned on. Can become harder to navigate.

    It has become second nature to use Quick Books at the company. If you need a report you log in and pull the report. It helps expedite reconciliation of bank accounts, the automation of most tasks make it easy to get mundane tasks completed quickly.

    In the 5 years I have been using it, I cannot recall there ever having been an outage or not being able to access the system. Sure, there are issues with internet speeds sometimes that are unrelated to Intuit but it is a very reliable system.

    Since we do not integrate the software with other systems, I do not have any issues with speed related to that. Pages tend to load pretty quickly, but there are times when reports or other pages take a little longer to load than usual. It is not an overly frustrating amount of time, though, and it happens infrequently.

    There is hardly an app that covers it all while staying simple and wrapping up the process. From the filing of the request, everything goes smoothly following a natural progression. Reports are insightful, give you an instant overview and easy to understand. In addition, you can easily track any information from those on clients to expense tracking.

    I did not participate in this part particularly much. The implementation was simple and easy to perform. There were not any major issues that arose during the process. QuickBooks has made the processes pretty streamless and I believe they had anticipated many difficulties ahead of time. This was easy enough

    Square only allows for scheduling to one person. And my team couldn’t see their schedules. As a cleaning company, I need to let cleaners know what their pay is without them seeing what I’m charging. That’s game changer about Kobber.

    QBO is great because it does accounting very well, and it can integrate well with everything. I appreciate that it has third-party integrations with many other software companies, so we can focus on doing our accounting through QuickBooks while adding other software as needed through those integrations.

    • Spreadsheet sync reduces manual data entry significantly. Exporting data into my customized Excel workbook that has complex formulas and macros for automating makes uploading changes and reconfiguring easy and convenient, saving a lot of time.
    • Automating AP approval has reduced lost paper copies, improved internal controls, and reduced audit findings.
    • Having banking connections has improved cash flow management, streamlined credit card expenses and reconciliation. I have found that utilizing it for my primary operating account actually makes things more difficult and can easily double-post payments, so I avoid using it on the checking account. It has been well for the credit card account, though.
