Make sure Job Templates have been created for your common services offered. This will save you time by pre-populating items, pricing, tags, etc.

This is a tool that can be used to mark & measure the square or linear footage of an area on a Job’s site map.

Use to accurately estimate budgeted materials and man hours.

One-Off Jobs in SingleOps are Jobs with one Visit. One-Off Jobs are used when the services requested by the Client will only occur once & generally over a short period of time (one day or a few consecutive days).

An Item Group is a collection of Items, pre-built for quick addition to a Job.

Invoicing

Progress Billing

Progress Billing is an invoicing method for One-Off Jobs that allows you to bill clients based on completed work. Created with Design/Build in mind, this feature gives you more control over the invoicing process. It allows you to review the progress of a Job and manually create invoices as needed or create a Milestone and bill their clients as those milestones are reached.
