The details needed for the visit
A job record brings the customer and practical appointment information together so the entry means more than a date and title.
- Job date and time
- Address and job description
- Customer contact details
- Current job status
A practical job diary on Android
Keep your jobs organised from your phone
Put the date, time, address, customer and job description together, then update the status as work moves from scheduled to completed—or changes along the way.
The working-day problem
A date in the diary is not the whole job
You also need to know who the customer is, where the work is, what was agreed and whether it is still scheduled. TradesMate keeps those details together rather than leaving the appointment as an unexplained calendar entry.
- Open the customer details from the working record
- Keep the address and description with the appointment
- Use job status to reflect what is happening
- Attach before-and-after photos to the work
