IceBubble CRM

Job management

Book the right person on the planning board, run the job from the app on site, and turn the hours into the invoice, all in the same system as the deal.

Sound familiar?

  • The week's jobs are on a whiteboard that only the office can see.
  • Someone gets booked on a day they are on holiday.
  • Timesheets come back late, and on paper.
  • The invoice goes out a fortnight after the job, if someone remembers.

Job management puts the planning board, the app on site and the invoice in one place, so a job goes from booked to billed without anyone retyping it.

How it works

  1. 1Book on the planning board

    See the week, the day or the month by person, with the jobs still to book down the side. Filter by skill or client and drag a job onto someone's day. Holidays and sickness already show, so nobody gets booked when they are off.

    Why it matters: you plan with the whole picture in front of you, and the team can see it too.

  2. 2Let the team know

    Notify or email the people whose diaries changed, straight from the board.

    Why it matters: no ringing round on a Sunday night to say where everyone needs to be.

  3. 3Run the job on site

    The team see their jobs in the app on iPhone, Android or Windows. They work through the checklist, take photos, record their time and get sign-off on site.

    Why it matters: what happened on site is recorded on site, not remembered later.

  4. 4From hours to invoice

    Time, materials and charges sit on the job, ready to invoice. Invoices go to Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage or FreeAgent.

    Why it matters: you bill sooner, and for everything that was done.

Part of the CRM, not bolted on

Jobs come from won deals in the pipeline or from a delivery plan, use the same people and holidays as absence, and show up in your reports. A customer email about a job can land on it as a helpdesk ticket, so the whole history sits together.
