Jobber's New Features: Redefining Payments for Home Service Professionals
In a significant update for home service professionals, Jobber has unveiled two innovative features,
Tap to Pay and
progress invoicing, aimed at streamlining the payment process and enhancing financial management for small businesses in this sector.
Empowering Small Businesses
Jobber, recognized as the leading provider of home service software, understands the challenges faced by small businesses. With the introduction of these tools, service pros can expect improved cash flow management and an overall modernized experience for their customers. CEO and co-founder Sam Pillar emphasized the necessity for technology that not only meets the expectations of these entrepreneurs but also supports their growth and ambition.
“Home service entrepreneurs deserve technology that keeps pace with their ambition, and empowering them with greater control over cash flow is essential to their success,” Pillar remarked.
Tap to Pay: Instant Payment Solution
A Modern Approach to Payments
The
Tap to Pay feature integrated within the Jobber mobile app eliminates the hassle of handling extra devices or unreliable payment methods. Now, service providers can accept
secure, contactless payments directly through their smartphones. This shift not only enhances customer experience but also secures instant payment processing, accompanied by digital receipts sent automatically.
For business owners, this has several advantages:
- - Instant Payment Collection: Collect payments on-site immediately after job completion, boosting cash flow and simplifying accounting tasks.
- - Professional Reputation: A sleek payment solution enhances the professional image of the business, thereby building customer trust.
- - Reduced Administrative Burden: With a seamless payment process, the time spent chasing payments diminishes, allowing business owners to focus on other projects.
Alberto Diaz, owner of Goodwill Plumbing, shared his positive experience with Tap to Pay, noting its practicality and the appreciation from customers.
Progress Invoicing: Flexible Payment Schedules
Financial Stability through Clear Milestones
For larger, multi-stage jobs, cash flow management can quickly become complicated. Jobber’s
progress invoicing feature offers a solution by allowing service professionals to set milestone-based payment schedules. This means that instead of waiting for the completion of a project to receive payment, they can collect payments at designated stages of the job.
This approach not only enhances cash flow but also helps in:
- - Strengthening Financial Stability: Collect payments as work progresses to cover materials and labor, thus reducing financial risks.
- - Building Client Trust: Clear expectations with structured payment schedules foster strong relationships with clients.
- - Automation of Invoicing: Automated invoices streamline financial tasks, freeing up valuable time for what matters most—actually completing the work at hand.
Ashley Ellis from Superior Processing Weighing mentioned how the progress invoicing feature has transformed their billing process, turning a previously labor-intensive task into a quick and error-free experience. Meanwhile, Leisse Wilcox, owner of Ralph's Paving Ltd., highlighted the positive impact on their workflow, noting the consistent revenue stream it provides.
Conclusion: Innovative Solutions for Today's Challenges
Jobber’s commitment to enhancing the efficiency and profitability of home service professionals is evident through these feature launches. Both Tap to Pay and progress invoicing are now available to users across all membership plans, making these advanced tools accessible to a wider range of service professionals. With this strategic enhancement of their software, Jobber continues to position itself as a leader in the market, empowering small businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.
