Question 1

Is Omni Field an alternative to Jobber?

Yes, both are job management platforms covering scheduling, quoting and invoicing. The practical difference is where each one is built for. Omni Field is based in Cape Town, bills in South African Rand, and displays prices in local currency across seven African countries. Jobber is headquartered in Canada.

Question 2

What does Omni Field cost?

Accepted Answer

There is a Free plan at R0. PaYu is R119 per month plus R99 per technician seat. Growth is R349 per month including one technician, then R189 per extra seat. Business is quoted. All advertised prices include 15% VAT, and admin and viewer users are free.

Question 3

How do customers pay an Omni Field invoice?

Accepted Answer

Through Paystack, by card or bank payment, using a link on the invoice. You do not need to open a separate merchant account. Payouts reach your bank in 2 to 3 days and carry a 1% transaction charge.

Question 4

Does Omni Field keep working when the signal drops on site?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within limits. The technician app is an installable PWA that tolerates a dropped connection. Work carries on and is held in a sync queue that uploads when signal returns. It is offline tolerant rather than a fully offline application.
