What plumbing shops need from software
My take on what matters most for plumbing:
- Fast dispatch: emergency calls need the nearest plumber on the way, so dispatch and GPS matter.
- Upfront, flat-rate pricing: quote the job before you start, the same way every time.
- Job costing: knowing which jobs actually make money.
