Pros

“From client contacts and requests, to scheduling, job notes and invoicing, Jobber brings our team and our clients together in one seamless place.”
DD

Dale D.

Sales and Administrative Coordinator

“From the same system I'm able to pull up a client's entire history, send estimates, revise estimates, refer to job notes from technicians for troubleshooting, and invoice the same day a job is complete.”
DD

Dale D.

Sales and Administrative Coordinator

“It's not the cheapest option out there, but when you factor in what it does (scheduling, invoicing, payments, reporting, even a website), it earns its keep for most small trades businesses.”
ED

Eri D.

ACCOUNTANT

Pros

“The average turnaround time working with some clients from contract agreement to invoice generation and sign-off has been about 5 days. If you are a business owner who is also working for smaller organizations who need to get a project off the ground ASAP, then Bonsai is for you!”
JH

Jonathan H.

Managing Director

“Bonsai is a strong all in one system for freelancers and small service teams who want to run proposals contracts and payments without juggling multiple apps.”
KS

Katie S.

Operations Manager

“I love that the proposals have various formats for project-based packages (like allowing the client to select multiple options or making the client pick only one of several options, or not offering options at all ...”
VM

Vesna M.

Copywriter and Messaging Strategist

Cons

“Not being able to do time blocks that allow a reminder text/email, not being able to have time blocks at all, quickbook integration messes up frequently, more quote templates, more backend personalization”
LL

Laura L.

Marketing Manager

“The biggest limitations for us are customization boundaries inside the quote templates and certain workflow areas that don’t go as deep as larger field-service CRMs.”
AS

Andrew S.

General Manager

“When a customer get's financing, the whole process from creating invoice to applying payment is handled by Jobber, which actually complicates things a bit, cause you're unable to use your regular invoicing process.”
MM

Marina M.

Dispatcher

Cons

“The legalese in the contracts, and the inability to make more substantive edits in this regard is a small negative - particularly when working with organizations who might not be as familiar with your business.”
JH

Jonathan H.

Managing Director

“About the main thing that it doesn't do as well is time tracking—can't be as granular on the project specifics in the mobile app as I can on the desktop app.”
