We’re so excited about the latest product updates coming your way. From improved photo uploads on the job to exclusive access to our new coaching experience, there’s something for everyone.

Coming soon: Better photo uploads

Get ready to improve the efficiency of photo uploads while out on the job. This update allows photos to upload in the background while you navigate other screens on the app, saving valuable time and preventing interruptions to other important tasks. On top of that, you can retry failed uploads when the connection improves, eliminating the need to search for the photos again.

This update will increase productivity and reduce frustration for you and your employees. Lookout for this update releasing in waves throughout March and April.

Make sure you (and each of your employees) are always on the latest app version. You can update your mobile app from the app store

Unlock NEW features with easier line item navigation

The week of March 20th, you’ll see a green banner on any job page to test drive the line item update. Opt in to the update to unlock access to NEW Material Inventory Detail Tracking.

With customizable fields for material source, purchase status, and vendor, you can stay on top of where material is coming from, what material is being purchased by field employees, and what material needs to be replaced. It’s time to optimize inventory levels, increase efficiency, and reduce costs!

 The line item update will automatically occur on May 31st, 2023. Test it early to prepare for workflow changes and let us know what you think. We value your feedback.

Selling service plans just got better

Good news! Opt in to the new line item update, and you’ll unlock another update—making selling and managing plans even better. Adding service plans as a line item allows you to easily see the savings and price, automatically apply discounts, and connect an agreement back to the job and invoice for better documentation all around.


Image

Coming in April: Plans will be added to the job before a visit and will appear front-and-center on mobile to drive a stronger customer loyalty and sales experience.
