Fergus is the secret weapon for smart trades and services businesses!
Fergus is one of the very best job management software apps designed for trades and services businesses. Fergus caters to a variety of service-based trades including electricians, plumbers, builders, HVAC technicians, roofers, and field services professionals. Fergus is well suited to service and maintenance-based trades and also project based tradies working on small to medium scale projects.
What we particularly love about Fergus is its ease of use, with great user-friendly dashboards, the ability to see costs / profitability and logical workflows. It is not overwhelming for those new to job management software but has great depth and functionality to suit most tradies, and for its price it offers more features than other job management apps at a similar price point. Fergus’ ability to track purchases and costs gives it better job reporting than some other platforms. Other Fergus’ features include job tracking, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing, which are designed to streamline operations and improve business efficiency.
Fergus’ key benefits include:
