Jobber has integrated with CompanyCam, an innovative photo documentation and communication app for contractors.
Through the integration, service providers can take and share an unlimited number of photos with homeowners to keep them in the know, which will help service professionals capture details on job sites, communicate with crews and keep clients informed without having to leave the Jobber platform.
“Documenting a job well done is an important part of running a great business, but is often time-consuming and can take time away from doing the actual work,” said Sam Pillar, CEO and co-founder of Jobber. “Teaming up with CompanyCam will help Jobber customers show off their great work, save more time in their day, and increase profitability by getting jobs done faster.”
