Fergus overview

What is Fergus?

Fergus is a cloud-based job management software built for electricians and plumbers which offers tools for job tracking, scheduling, quoting & estimating, back costing, time tracking, invoicing, reporting, and more.

Fergus includes a status board for users to see at a glance what stage all of your jobs are in and any items requiring attention, including queries raised when problems arise.

All the information related to a particular job is stored in the job card with attached notes, files, photos, checklists, forms and more. Information can be organised into site visits to allow separate reporting for different work stages. Variations can also be added and linked to parent jobs for financial tracking purposes.

Staff can be assigned to specific jobs, and the integrated calendar enables drag-and-drop job scheduling (you can also sync this with your Google Calendar).

Charged and uncharged time can be manually logged on each job, or users can use the start/stop timer in the Fergus app for iOS and Android.

Email and text messages can be sent to staff and customers through Fergus, with users able to customise SMS and email templates, and store multiple site addresses, contacts, and phone numbers on the built-in customer cards.

Invoices, quotes, and estimates can be created in the pricing editor and emailed directly to customers along with Terms of Trade, and customers can accept these from directly within the email.

Push notifications can be delivered to tablets and smartphones to alert users to important events, and staff can be kept up-to-date with job details and plans using the team notice board.

Before, during or after the job you can look at your projected or actual margins, and identify where you made or lost money.
