Six apps for one job is five too many

Count the apps your crew uses on one job. A photo app. A group text. A task app. An estimate tool. A time clock. A review tool the office logs into once a month.

That's six logins for a new hire, six bills, and six places to look. And none of them know about each other. The photo of the cracked flashing is in the photo app. The task to fix it is in the task app. The line on the estimate is in the estimate tool. The customer heard about it in a text.

You are the glue between them.

What it costs

• Money. Each tool has its own monthly bill, often per person.
• Logins. Crews forget passwords, use one app and skip the rest.
• Retyping. The same address, photo and customer name, entered four times.
• Missed handoffs. Nothing moves from one app to the next unless someone moves it.

How JobChalk solves it

JobChalk is one app for the whole job, from the first customer message to the review. Every piece lives inside the job, so each one knows about the others.

• Customer messages. Texts, email, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, website chat and Google reviews in one Inbox. Start a job from the conversation, customer filled in.
• Photos. Taken in the job with the JobChalk camera, stamped and tagged, saved to the job online.
• Crew chat. One chat per job, plus direct messages and groups.
• Tasks and checklists. Make a task from a photo. Finish it with a photo as proof.
• Estimates. Built from your price book, signed on the customer's phone. One tap turns the accepted lines into tasks.
• Reports. Today's photos become a report in a minute, sent as a link or a PDF.
• Clock in and out. Hours flow into timesheets and fill the crew on the daily log.
• Reviews. Ask from the job when it's done. Reviews land in the customer's conversation.

Here is what "connected" looks like on one job. Luis photographs a soft spot in the decking and makes a task from the photo. Dave adds it to the estimate. Dana signs on her phone, and the accepted lines become the crew's tasks. The crew clocks in, finishes each task with a photo, and the daily log fills in their hours. Dana gets a report that night. Nobody retyped anything.

The crew learns one app. The office checks one Inbox. Customers are always free and don't need to download anything to see their photos and reports.

One monthly plan for your crew, every feature included, no contract. Keep your accounting software. JobChalk covers the job.
