Most businesses don't need more software. They need it set up properly.
Most ServiceM8 setups fail because they don't match how the business actually runs. We build ServiceM8 around your workflow, not the other way around.
Basic setup is only one part. Most businesses also need workflow design, automation, and proper systems built around how they actually operate.
If that's what you need, start with a System Review.
From the first call to the final invoice, all in one place.
We build ServiceM8 around your business: your workflow, your job types, your team structure. Then we train everyone properly so they actually use it.
Different roles use ServiceM8 differently. We train each group separately so the training is relevant and actually used.
Ongoing workflow optimisation, onboarding assistance and ServiceM8 operational support for businesses wanting continued improvement and guidance. Consultative, practical and focused on outcomes.
Ad hoc support outside of a block session is available at $165 + GST per hour.
