ServiceM8 is job management software for trade contractors and home service businesses. It keeps job cards, scheduling, staff tracking, CRM, client emails and texts, job notes, forms, online bookings, invoicing and payments in one place. The stated goal is to help small businesses cut paperwork, get more jobs done and provide good customer service.
The company describes its vision as Zero Admin: automating manual tasks that do not directly earn revenue so owners can focus on skilled work. It was founded in 2009 as a private Australian company, and the first version shipped in 2010 as an iPhone and web app. ServiceM8 says businesses using it manage over $50 billion in jobs.
Each job follows a path from the client's first call through scheduling, quoting, completion, invoicing and payment. Office staff schedule jobs to team members in the app or online, and technicians are notified instantly by push notification. Everything about a client, including notes, photos, messages and past work, lives on the job card.
Technicians use the iOS or Android app in the field. They can quote and invoice on site, capture signatures, record photos and videos, fill in PDF forms and take card payments. The app works offline and syncs once connectivity returns. A Mac and PC app and an online dashboard are available for the office.
Core job tools include scheduling, quoting and invoicing, checklists, electronic forms, recurring jobs and asset management. Quotes can include several options that clients view and accept online, and invoices can be paid by card or Apple Pay through an online link. Online booking lets clients get a price and choose a time.
Team and efficiency tools include live staff GPS, urgent dispatch, automatic time tracking, timesheet export, a dispatch map and auto routing. Communication features include On the Way SMS, booking reminders, two-way SMS and automated quote and payment follow-ups. Reporting offers revenue and productivity reports, a custom builder and an AI helper that builds reports from typed requests.
