OHMSCOUT / SOFTWARE GUIDE
ServiceM8.
Keep the job details with the job.
For small electrical shops that want customer details, scope, notes, photos and billing organized around one job record.
We have not personally tested this workflow yet.
From a quote after work to a job ready to invoice.
These are vendor-described workflows to investigate, not measured results from an OhmScout trial.
Field handoff
Keep the address, notes, photos and checklist attached to the job your helper opens.
Invoice
Carry the work back into billing instead of recreating the job from texts and memory.
Why put ServiceM8 on the shortlist?
- You want the job record to be the center of the workflow.
- You want a paid plan with unlimited users and can work within its job-card allowance.
- Your monthly quote/job-card volume fits the plan you are considering.
What could rule it out?
- The Free plan is intentionally limited; growing volume can force a plan change.
- Documented Android support does not prove every iOS workflow is identical.
- OhmScout has not completed its own hands-on product trial yet.
Which ServiceM8 plan fits the example?
One-user service-shop example: 20 new quote/job cards a month, scheduling, quotes and invoices, mixed devices, monthly billing. Change the inputs for your shop.

How these costs are calculated
Totals cover 12 paid subscription months, required users and known usage charges. Tax, payment processing, optional add-ons and temporary trial discounts are excluded. Annual prepayment and monthly billing with an annual commitment are different choices. A required charge without a known price keeps the total unknown. For job-card allowances, count unsuccessful quotes too.
