A Day in the Life of a Trade Business Owner Using ServiceM8
Let’s face it—running a trade business isn’t just about getting the job done; it’s about keeping everything organised while juggling customers, staff, and endless admin. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
Enter ServiceM8, a game-changer for guys like you who are tired of dealing with paperwork and chaos. Here’s how it transforms the daily grind into a well-oiled machine.
6:30 AM – Start the Day in Control
The alarm goes off, and you grab your phone. No more wondering if everyone knows where they’re meant to be or what jobs need doing. With the ServiceM8 dashboard, you’ve got today’s schedule, job details, and updates in one place.
You can see:
Who’s working where.
Which jobs are running on time.
Any quotes or invoices that need action.
Before ServiceM8: Chasing your tail with messy notes and last-minute phone calls.
With ServiceM8: You’re in control before you even finish your coffee.
7:30 AM – Job Assignments Done in Seconds
Using drag-and-drop scheduling, you assign jobs to your team with a few taps. No group texts or "Where am I meant to be?" calls from the crew. They get an instant notification with all the details they need—address, job scope, and any notes.
Before ServiceM8: Confusion and wasted time getting the team organised.
With ServiceM8: Your team’s ready to hit the ground running.
9:00 AM – The First Job Kicks Off
Your tech rolls up to the site, pulls out their phone, and opens the ServiceM8 app. They’ve got everything they need—client details, a job checklist, and even before photos to take for records. No paperwork. No guesswork.
And you? You can check progress from your phone without having to call.
Before ServiceM8: Constant interruptions to figure out what’s happening on-site.
With ServiceM8: Peace of mind that the job’s under control.
11:00 AM – A New Job Secured on the Spot
A client rings up needing a quote. Instead of saying, “I’ll get back to you,” you whip up a professional quote using ServiceM8’s quoting tool and send it straight to their inbox. They approve it within minutes, and you slot the job into your schedule—all before lunchtime.
Before ServiceM8: Lost time fiddling with spreadsheets or chasing approvals.
With ServiceM8: More jobs booked without breaking stride.
2:00 PM – No More Chasing Payments
Between jobs, you check on overdue invoices. ServiceM8’s automated reminders have already pinged clients, and a few have even paid through the invoice’s built-in payment link.
No awkward phone calls. No waiting weeks to get paid.
Before ServiceM8: Stressed about cash flow and wasting time chasing payments.
With ServiceM8: Paid faster with less hassle.
3:30 PM – Adapting on the Fly
Your plumber finishes up early on one job. You spot it on the real-time updates and send them to a nearby urgent callout. They’ve got all the job details in their app before they even hop in the van.
Before ServiceM8: Missed opportunities because you didn’t know someone was free.
With ServiceM8: Every spare minute turns into productivity.
5:00 PM – Wrapping Up Without Admin Overload
At the end of the day, you check out the daily report:
Jobs completed.
Revenue brought in.
Time spent on each task.
Instead of drowning in paperwork, you’re back home, cracking a beer, and actually enjoying your evening.
Before ServiceM8: Hours of admin every night, cutting into family or downtime.
With ServiceM8: Admin done, day wrapped, and time to relax.
