Scheduling Jobs with Plumbing Booking Software

What scheduling options does the modern plumbing business have?

At some point you’ve probably wondered; is there a modern alternative to scheduling my company’s jobs that doesn’t involve paper work orders? Can I somehow go paperless and take advantage of technology to bring my company into the future? Well, we’ve got the answers: yes and yes!

Smart Service: Plumbing Booking Software

If you need a paperless solution to dispatching and scheduling jobs for your work force, you need a plumbing scheduling software like Smart Service. With Smart Service, you can schedule jobs for your employees quickly and easily.

With Smart Service you can schedule one-time, recurring, and multi-day jobs for your plumbing customers. Do you have a customer calling in with a leaky faucet? What about a school with a burst pipe? Or a high-rise that needs lines replaced? No problem! You can easily schedule a job directly to one of your certified plumbers, including all the information they need to fix the issue. The Smart Service mobile app–available for both Apple and Android devices–allows your plumbers to complete the job on any phone or tablet.

QuickBooks Integration

Smart Service-QuickBooks integration allows you to complete a job and immediately send the invoice to QuickBooks. This will simplify your billing process, creating a one-stop-shop for all your business administration. Additionally, with the Smart Service mobile app, your plumbers can add line items to the job. Need to charge for parts and materials? Manual labor time? Flat-rate fees? No problem! And with time tracking, plumbing techs can directly apply their time spent on the job to an hourly rate.

Going Mobile

With availability on all modern Android and iOS devices, the Smart Service mobile app provides fast, easy, and convenient ways for your plumbers to perform work for your company. Whether they use their personal smart phones and tablets or company-issued alternatives, your customers can begin their work day from their driveway or the company parking lot. Either way, they’ll find their schedule directly on their mobile device.

GPS navigation ties into the Smart Service mobile app, allowing your technicians to drive directly to their appointments. At a glance, they can see their entire schedule for the day, a number of days, or just the next job on the agenda. You can customize these settings from Smart Service to fit your business needs.
