Jobber vs. WorkWave PestPac

When you have a lot of techs out in the field, Jobber helps to keep track of who is assigned to which job. This lessens the likelihood of miscommunication or having jobs "fall through the cracks." Techs do not need to physically come to the office for their assignments each day which saves time and money since they can access their Jobber assignments through their phones.

If all of your data is entered 100% correctly (per WorkWave PestPac standards) and you only need basic functionality, then WorkWave PestPac is great. The more functionality you need, the more they charge (EVERY module is an additional per-user cost, which can get very expensive very quickly). If you are bringing your data from another system, then be prepared to have heartburn (or hire someone to go through and fix all the data). If data is not 100% accurate, then many features don't work as smoothly as you'd like.

• The recurring job feature was key to our decision in selecting Jobber. There's a lot of flexibility in how you schedule recurring work. I especially like that you can select the frequency (weekly, monthly) coupled with either a specific date or day of the week/month.
• Client email reminders help our clients know when we're coming and provide an important point of contact. Customizing the email was easy.
• Client overview. It's extremely helpful to be able to view a client's record and see the upcoming visits along with the completed work.

• Easy to search for a customer by many different data points
• Has a lot of customization features, such as naming service types and preset notes

• Pricey. They should consider some more affordable options.
• Design. As we ramped up our visual identity we were looking for a more modern design.
• To include visible discounting options on quotes, for example.

• Not very user friendly
• Reports are difficult to create and figure out
• Not easy to find the correct place to go for things such as settings or data points

I am anxious to replace it but there will be effort to learn and switch.

It is usable in multiple settings, but in my opinion preferably for small to medium-sized organizations. It covers the process as a whole and can be used in any segment (from creating a quote to client communication). The mobile app is very usable, intuitive, and especially useful for people working in the field

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.

Jobber was the best for us by offering the right amount of professional features while not being overwhelming for a small company to use.

• This has helped us keep costs down by routing our jobs more efficiently. Specifically, it saves tons of time in routing the jobs, but also saves time/fuel for our drivers.

• WorkWave PestPac has certainly improved our time management by getting us off of paper scheduling. It allows us to map and easily move appointments which makes our techs more efficient
• Having all documentation stored digitally and be locked to the correct account helps us stay compliant
