Job management app

The job management app for tradies: every job from yes to paid

The quote your client accepted becomes the job. Book it on the calendar, put the crew on it, keep the photos and notes on it, and the invoice is waiting when you mark it done.

Start free

Key takeaways

  1. An accepted quote creates the job and its draft invoice. Callouts and unquoted work get a job too, with New Job.
  2. Book each visit on the calendar from the job, or drag it there from the Unscheduled list.
  3. On Team, tick who is going on each visit, and see the whole day per person on Dispatch.
  4. Your own statuses, like Waiting on materials, plus photos and team-only notes on every job.
  5. Free for 20 jobs a month. Pro is $25 a month including 2 users; Team is $45 a month.

Where a job comes from#

Most jobs start as a quote. When the client presses accept on the quote link, Chippie creates the job and a draft invoice with the agreed amounts, so nothing is typed twice. The job keeps the quote as it was agreed, even if the quote is edited later.

Work you never quoted gets a job too. Press New Job for a callout, a warranty return or a job you priced on the spot, and it carries its own draft invoice the same way.

Booking it in#

  1. Schedule from the job

    Pick the day, a start time or all day, and how many days it runs. A multi-day job is one visit across the working days.

  2. Or drag it onto the calendar

    Jobs waiting for a day sit in the Unscheduled list beside the calendar. Drag one onto the day it fits.

  3. Mark a full day

    In the Day view, Day Filled shades a day so everyone knows it is booked out.

  4. Book a site visit for a quote

    Measure-ups go on the same calendar, against the quote, before there is a job.

Who is on it#

On the Team plan each visit has its crew. Tick who is going when you book it, star the lead, and add people later with Assign. If someone is already booked at that time, Chippie names the clash so you can move one.

Seeing the work in Chippie
  Where What it shows
Dispatch One row per person for the day, with Unassigned first. Drag jobs between people.
Calendar The week or month, filtered to everyone, one person or unassigned work.
Jobs list Mine or Everyone. The Field role opens on its own jobs.

While the job is running#

Every job has a status in the list, and you can add your own from the status badge, such as Waiting on materials. Photos go on from the phone camera, with a tick for the ones the client should see. Notes are for your team only. Saved jobs open with no signal and upload their changes when signal returns.

Regular work runs itself: make a job recurring and the next one is created on the schedule you set. On Team, turn on Timesheets and each person times their visits from the job.

Done means invoiced#

Marking the job complete makes its invoice ready to send. Add any variation, send it from site, and the client pays by bank transfer to the details on the invoice. The job, its visits, photos and invoice stay together on the client's history.

Common questions#

What is a job management app?
It keeps every job in one list on your phone: who it is for, where, when it is booked, who is on it, and where it is up to. In Chippie a job starts when a client accepts your quote, or when you add one with New Job, and it ends with the invoice.
Do I have to quote before I can make a job?
No. Press New Job for callouts, warranty returns and work you never quoted. The job gets a draft invoice like any other, ready to send when you mark it complete.
How do I book a job in?
Open the job and press Schedule, pick the day and start time, and confirm. A job that runs several days becomes one visit across the working days, skipping weekends.
Can I see who is working where today?
Yes. Open Calendar, then Dispatch: one row per person for the day, with jobs nobody has under Unassigned. Drag a job onto a person to book it with them. Putting people on visits is part of the Team plan.
Can I track where a job is up to?
Every job has its status in the job list, and you can add your own, such as Waiting on materials or Booked with client, from the status badge. Your clients never see them.
Does it handle regular maintenance work?
Yes. Make a job recurring, set how often it repeats and the preferred day, and Chippie creates each job on that schedule, ready to book and invoice.
Can my crew record their hours?
Yes, on the Team plan with Timesheets turned on. Each person clocks on and off and times each visit from the job, and you download everyone's hours as a CSV for payroll.
Does it work on Android and iPhone?
Yes. There is an iPhone app on the App Store and an Android app on Google Play, and on any computer Chippie runs in the browser. A change made on site shows up for the rest of the business straight away.
Does it sync with Google Calendar?
Not yet. Bookings live in the Chippie calendar, and your client is not told when you book a visit, so confirm the time with them yourself.
How much does it cost?
Free for up to 20 jobs a month for one person. Pro is $25 a month for unlimited jobs and 2 users. Team is $45 a month for 4 users and adds staff scheduling and timesheets.
