What makes JobTread unique compared to other software you’ve used?

"JobTread’s user-friendliness is unmatched. It’s essential for growing businesses because you need to onboard new staff quickly. With JobTread, I can point new hires to the introduction videos, and they can get up to speed on their own within a few weeks. This saves me from having to do all the training myself, and it also means my team can bring new insights that I might have missed.”"

Can you share a favorite project where JobTread made a significant impact?

"We’re currently working on a project where JobTread has been invaluable. Initially, our proposals were simple and vague, but with JobTread, we’ve built out detailed cost catalogs and started using a selections allowance style. This has allowed us to be more accurate with budgets and streamlined both the sales and production processes."

If you had to give advice to someone considering JobTread, what would it be?

"Investing in your business is important, and JobTread is one of the best investments you can make. It saves time and creates a strong foundation for your business processes. For small businesses, it’s like having an extra employee that handles a lot of the workload for you, and for the cost, it’s incredibly affordable compared to other options out there."

How does JobTread compare to other software you’ve used?

"JobTread stands out in terms of transparency and how easy it is for customers to navigate. Other systems have customer portals, but they can be hard for clients to use. JobTread’s seamless flow between managing customers, vendors, budgets, and sales is a huge plus. I’ve also found that everything connects smoothly, unlike some other systems where different parts of the software feel disconnected."

The community of contractors using JobTread is also focused on bettering their businesses, and we all learn from each other, regardless of our specialties.

What makes JobTread stand out from the competition?

"The sense of community is unique. With other systems, you deal with salespeople, but you don’t really get the same personal connection. With JobTread, you can reach out to the actual creators of the software. The community of contractors using JobTread is also focused on bettering their businesses, and we all learn from each other, regardless of our specialties."

What would you tell someone who’s on the fence about using JobTread?

"If you're unsure, talk to someone who uses JobTread. I’ve rarely heard anyone speak negatively about it. The transparency and the community around JobTread set it apart, and the support you get from the company is second to none. They're not just selling you software – they’re genuinely here to help."
