What industries can use job management software?

Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, bricklayers and other trade professions are the most common users of job management software. That’s because most of their day-to-day work involves being out and about on jobs. Since they’re always on the move, tradies need to have easy access to their schedule, expenses and a way to generate an invoice. Management software gives them all these features (and more) so they can effectively plan out their days and make the most of their time.

Construction

Construction workers spend a lot of time out of the office and on various worksites. The industry works under incredibly strict profit margins and budgets so projects need to go as smoothly as possible. Job management software allows staff to track their time and expenses so they can keep a close eye on budgets and ensure they don’t tap into profits.

Security Services

When you’re responsible for the installation and maintenance of cameras and security systems in people’s homes and businesses, security businesses need to act fast should complications pop up. Management software allows business owners to schedule staff, even when they’re not at the office. It can show which staff is closest to the job and send them all the necessary details to their phone instantly. It allows them to remain agile and not waste any time getting to where they need to go.

Cleaning Services

Cleaners have built up a lot of trust with their clients, as they’re being let inside their homes and offices throughout the day. This means cleaners need to be on time to jobs, have enough time to clean and have enough funds to purchase supplies. Management software lets workers complete timesheets on their phones so they can track how long it takes them to complete jobs. Business owners then have a digital record of old jobs to use for quoting similar jobs in future. It also allows workers to log their expenses for cleaning supplies and add this to the final invoice so they never loses out on money.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Services

Similarly to tradies, HVAC workers need to travel to a lot of work sites during the day to install and repair devices in people’s homes, buildings and offices. Job management software allows businesses to see the locations of all their booked jobs and plan out the most convenient routes for their workers. If tools or parts need to be purchased during the day these expenses can be logged into the system and added to the final invoice.

Telecom

Being without service for even a few minutes can mean serious trouble for anyone with a phone or internet service. That’s why telecom workers need to be as efficient as possible and get to multiple locations throughout the day. Job management software allows staff to have their schedules sent to their phones and keep track of their work hours with in-app timesheets and automatic timers. They can get the job done and make sure they get paid accurately based on the amount of time spent on the road.
