Built around the work.

A landlord’s houses, one customer.

A Landlord or Managing agent is one customer with a site for each house, each with its Eircode. Jobs here on a site opens the jobs done at that house.

The tenant hears about the visit.

Visit emails go to the house’s Occupier with an email, such as a tenant, else to the customer. A visit booked in the office never emails a tenant at another house. Invoices go by default to the Accounts contact.

An hour for a door, two for flat-pack.

Each kind of work Usually takes its own length: door easing an hour, TV wall mounting ninety minutes, flat-pack assembly two hours. With Book it now on, the New job sheet offers the next free times that long.

Hours at each person’s own rate.

Questions, answered.

Can one visit cover several small jobs?
At one address for one customer, yes, as one job. A job holds at most one Kind of work, such as odd jobs, and any number of hours, parts and expenses. A visit belongs to one job, so work at a second address, or for a second customer, is a job and a visit of its own.
