Hey gusy! Okay, so there are a ton of replys and I’m not sure if this thread stayed on track or not lol BUT as of yesterday you can officially take advantage of a discount at Jobber. So for those interested send me an email. I can’t post the referral code here as this is a public thread.

Jobber actually does have support for this kind of scheduling

When creating a Job you can specify Custom Scheduling options that allow for this kind of thing, in addition to almost a limitless number of other possibilities. Check out the screenshot for an example!

Cheers,

LOL

Pretty sure it is. I think that TCF has peaked and is quickly reaching that breaking point (if it already hasn’t) where it needs to make the choice and start modernizing or start losing to the shiny new kids on the block.

If I had not blindly used TCF before trying other systems, and done a full “virgin” or “naïve” side by side trial - TCF wouldn’t have made it a day.
I would have logged in… Poked around for 3 minutes and would have never come back, because it looks like its still back in 1996 and the layout seems clunky and confusing.

Anyway… At this point I am still 50/50…

I like TCF, and if they upgrade my major sticking point is the ability to receive stripe and invoice payments.
I like Jobber but I did not see the capability to schedule 2x monthly appointments outside of bi-weekly.
I am in need of “The 1st & 3rd Tuesday of Every Month” type of scheduling.

At this point since I am 50/50 - if TCF upgrades in the timeframe I was told, before my renewal mid February, as long as the upgrade seems good - I will stick around because they offer the scheduling type I want.

Without the upgrade done in a timely fashion - I will 90% be switching to jobber and requesting that they look into the scheduling option that I want. - and in the meantime setting up 2 recurring jobs per client in order to fulfill the “1st and 3rd week” type scheduling I need.

Thanks, apparently I didn’t figure this out - I absolutely stand corrected!

Forgive me if this question has already been asked but does jobber send financial info to Quickbooks? If so then I’m saying goodbye to Service CEO online and hello to Jobber.

Hey [MENTION=167]Steve[/MENTION],

We have a ton of users who have come over from Service CEO. If you’re thinking about switching you should get in touch with one of our account managers. They can help you out with importing data and setting up your initial sync.

I signed up for the trial and I’ve only been playing with this for literally 10 minutes and I already see how it blows Service CEO out of the water. I tried TCF trial once and it wasn’t bad but I didn’t like the calendar or layout enough to switch. Jobber is in a whole other league with functionality. I’m going let my office mgr./wife see it and I’m sure we’ll be making the change asap.

One of my main problems with TCF
( my idiocies )
Is AFTER one signs in
You get to the dashboard where you see how much your company is makeing how much work your company has
And ya look to the top of the dashboard and there is a huge TCF logo above my companies dashboard!
I have no problems with the signing page but I should not have to see the TCF logo above my companies data.
Especially if I am paying for it,
I need a feeling of ownership and the TCF logo on my main page does not do it.
I know it’s small for lots of folks but huge for me.

Not mad… Just a little crazy…

I don’t want to get in trouble for being too off-topic, but I also love Brian Regan. He was hilarious with Jerry Seinfeld on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

Anyone trying out Jobber for the first time? Always open to hear feedback and answer any questions you guys might have.

I signed up for Jobber. I’m definitely impressed with the program although I will admit I’ve never had a CRM software before so I don’t have anything to compare to. The learning curve was pretty small and I was able to learn all the basic functions really quick. The program is very intuitive with it’s work flow system of creating a client record all the way to recording the payment. Every day I am finding new things I can do with it and I haven’t even played with the reports yet. Overall I am very satisfied with Jobber and I know it will help me keep my business more organized this year!

Yes, I’m enjoying most of it, but there are a few things preventing me from using it. First, mobile site does not have a calendar view for phones, just the tablet view which is pretty much the regular format… scheduling on the go is impossible without this. Second, no real time google calendar syc, another huge deal breaker for me.

I’d also like to see reminders for customers that are coming up on 6 months, 1 year, etc without service. This way you can give them a buzz, or shoot them a postcard.

There are a bunch of other little things that Jobber is lacking, but they are tolerable and will come with age. But the items mentioned above, for my business, is a huge deal breaker.

Everything else I’ve seen about it is great, easy to add custom fields and keep track of clients.

Strapped for time, I’ve got to jet… but just a few impressions
