Tenvia Build vs Jobber
Excellent software, for a different kind of work. Where the line actually falls.
The short version: Jobber is genuinely good at what it's for: booking, dispatching, quoting, and invoicing home-service visits, from a Canadian company that handles CAD properly. But project construction runs on contracts, progress billing, holdbacks, and committed costs, none of which Jobber models. The honest comparison is about which work you do.
