Question 1

What does job management software cost?

Accepted Answer

It varies by vendor and by how many field staff you have. Omni Field has a Free plan at R0, PaYu at R119 per month plus R99 per technician seat, and Growth at R349 per month including one technician plus R189 per extra seat. All advertised prices include 15% VAT, and admin and viewer users are free.

Question 2

Can I try job management software before paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most vendors offer a trial. Omni Field's is 30 days with no credit card, which is long enough to run a real cycle of jobs rather than a demo. Put your actual week through it, including the awkward jobs, before you decide.

Question 3

Do I still need accounting software?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes. Job management software raises and tracks the invoice against the job. Accounting software handles the ledger, VAT returns and financial statements. Omni Field connects to Xero and Sage so the invoice does not have to be captured twice.
