Best invoice app for contractors for Support

foreign [Music] hey guys quick question for you how many of you use a CRM software to track your customer data and how many of you use only invoicing software do some of you use a service that includes all of the above please leave your comments below and don't forget to like And subscribe so we can bring you more content like this all right let's hop into the video as you might have guessed we will be talking about the best software to run your handyman business and why we think it's the best the tough thing about finding software for your business is that there are so many different options and hardly any of them actually Market their usefulness to handyman when I started my handyman business I went through about 10 different softwares before I landed one that worked for me it was so frustrating to keep switching over my customers information to new databases and ultimately I lost a lot of their information which was not a great thing it caused stress for me and the customer because I would have to keep asking them multiple times what their address and email was if I had just done a little more research or decided to spend a little more money on the good software up front then I would have avoided all those headaches that lasted for over a year I wish someone would have made this video for me to watch back then so I'm making it now in hopes that it will save you all the headache and time delay using software is one of the steps towards running your business more efficiently because there is less for you to keep track of over multiple platforms the best example I can give of what I was looking for in a software was a place where I could create estimates send invoices store client info and even manage my schedule and my employees schedule I know I was asking a lot but I thought it would have been the perfect combination of utilities for me out of the early softwares that I tried most of of them would do one aspect of that really well but lack in another area finding the customer database was easy but linking it to a schedule was nearly impossible to find before I tell you which software I ended on I will describe to you the other options and what the pros and cons are so that you can make the best decision for yourself based on the options that I've described here like most handyman I started scheduling my customers into Google Calendar it worked out fine for me while I was working for a limited number of clients and didn't have any employees but keeping track of clients was almost impossible with Google Calendar not to mention that I would still need to use other services to send invoices estimates and follow-up emails there were a lot of things working together to make this service work for me it didn't take long for me to start searching for better options after I hired my first employee I realized how important it was for me to have a scheduling app that I could use to share with my employees it was not convenient to text the guy every night telling him where he needed to meet me I spent a little bit of money to use the when I work app to join our calendars together in a way that was easy for me and the employee to keep up with I used this app for a while but I still had to use other apps to track other metrics that were important for me Wave Accounting is a great free service that I use to track my income and expenses but I could also use the app to send estimates and invoices it also kept track of my customers and customer Financial history this app in conjunction with when I work was a cheap combination that got me through and actually a little bit past a full year of business I actually still use wave for my personal accounting I found it was lacking a little bit of functionality in the sense of how I could use the service to interact with my clients and produce reports I also started making a bit more income and was looking to expand the technology that the business was using that's when I decided that I needed to switch to QuickBooks Online for my accounting software and find another outlet for my CRM and schedule the next four services that I'm going to discuss have very similar offerings and utilities within their software but they're all differ slightly in those offerings that being said it will ultimately come down to price interface appeal and any nuances in the service that you like best this service offers a desktop and mobile app version that allows you to dispatch technicians from home or the field it can be used for scheduling customer management invoices payment and my favorite aspect of this software is their job management utility the price for this software is 59 base price plus thirty dollars per user per month obviously if you decide to pay for the service annually then you will save money service Fusion claims to be an all-in-one handyman software that offers nearly all the same Services as the other software listed here although they seem to put emphasis on how their Fleet Tracking services are higher quality due to the fact that they don't solely rely on your technician's smartphone for tracking but I've seen similar services on the other softwares I haven't had a reason to use the Fleet Tracking Service so I can't personally attest for their quality one thing that service Fusion does that I really like is their call center insights where they track calls and the source of the call this is helpful because you can determine where your customers are finding your business the price on their website seems generalized because they don't tell you how many employees you're allowed to have under each plan but the prices are laid out like this the starter plan is 149 per month the starter plus is 219 dollars per month and Pro Plan is 399 dollars per month again they don't specifically tell you what's included at those price points so it may be worth scheduling a demo I like the fact that this service emphasizes its Aid in growing your business and they have a very appealing desktop and mobile version of their site house call and jobber offer a very similar interface it's easy to use Quick to learn the features and they have a great customer portal a couple of the things that differ are the recurring service plan options and house call also has services that help with website building and marketing Services the price point on house call is 49 per month for their base plan which includes one user and it's a hundred and twenty nine dollars per month for one to five users ultimately I landed on jobber and have had a great experience with their customer service they also have a great team that will help train you on their systems before you get into the field with their software the price point is a little higher than house call but they typically offer good discounts for the first time sign up their prices are 49 for one user and 149 dollars for up to seven users realistically any one of these services or a combination of them can get you exactly what you need to have an efficient systemized business you should definitely do your own research and try out the company's demos to get a feel for their platform before purchasing if you guys have any other questions about the software and their benefits feel free to comment below also don't forget to like And subscribe so we
