SERVICEM8 PORTAL & Workninja GUIDE

If you’re working in a local trade business, you’ve definitely heard of ServiceM8. And Jobber. And BigChange. And Simpro. And… You get the picture!

All these job management tools help you streamline your internal processes and build digital reports, but they’re not user-friendly or suitable for customer communication.

That’s where Right Hook’s ServiceM8 Portal solution comes in. We can build an API Integration to make the most of your existing job management software.

Additionally, Right Hook has also developed WorkNinja, a revolutionary job management platform that offers a wide range of functions and has an easy-to-use portal built-in.

With our job management solutions, you can save time and streamline your business. No more tiresome paperwork and long admin sessions: everything’s done in one place and can be migrated to other forms to ensure compliance and save time.

WHAT IS A SERVICEM8 PORTAL?

A ServiceM8 portal is a custom tool created by our web developers specifically to meet the needs of your trade business. It connects to your preferred job management tool and turns all your reports, job details and other vital information into a visual solution that you and your customers can use digitally on any computer, tablet or phone.

It’s basically a way of bringing ServiceM8 up to date. Since the company itself isn’t doing it, you can create a bespoke extension that gives you the features you need. Alternatively, you can explore migrating to WorkNinja, which gives you all the functionality of ServiceM8 and a cutting-edge job management platform.

HOW IT WORKS

If you’re eager to remain with ServiceM8, then we can help you adjust it to meet the needs of modern trade businesses like yours. Utilising our API Integration services, we can pull data directly from the ServiceM8 API, and our web developers can create a portal that benefits your business. Whether you want to give clients reminders for upcoming jobs, show compliance documentation, share reports instantly or even take payments online, you can do so through a portal. Everything you have on ServiceM8 can be displayed through an innovative system that makes providing your services to commercial clients faster and easier.

WHY IS A SERVICEM8 PORTAL DIFFERENT?

You might be wondering: why don’t I use ServiceM8? The answer is that while ServiceM8 offers forms, reports, and a basic portal add-on, it doesn’t give you everything you need in one place. Also, it doesn’t give you a unique layout that makes it easier for your customers to see what you’ve done for them and what you could do in the future. By pulling information through the API, we can enhance ServiceM8 and create custom tools that can grow with your company.

THE BENEFITS OF A SERVICEM8 PORTAL

Building a custom portal with Right Hook means you get a one-stop solution to store information and manage your business. Key benefits include:

• Improve Communication: Communicate efficiently with your clients by putting everything they need in one easy-to-use system.
