Why growing home and outdoor service businesses need more than a basic calendar

Compare a simple scheduler with a connected platform for enquiries, estimates, recurring routes, fieldworkers, property records, forms, materials, invoices and reporting.

  • Becomes fragmented as technicians, services, locations and customers grow

OctopusPro connected service management platform

  • Captures leads, quote requests and online bookings
  • Manages estimates, approvals and estimate-to-booking conversion
  • Coordinates contractors, crews, availability, service areas and recurring schedules
  • Connects property records, assets, forms, photos, materials and proof of work
