Jobber excels at dispatch and service billing. SimplySub focuses on daily electrical execution tied directly to the job.
Dispatch and invoicing tools are important for service work, but they do not solve daily jobsite capture for project work. Electrical crews still need job-based timecards, clean daily logs, photo documentation, and material tracking tied to the job. That is why many contractors keep a service-first platform and add a jobsite-first system like SimplySub for daily execution.
Dispatch scheduling does not replace job-based timecards. Projects need clean hours by job and phase to keep payroll and job costing accurate.
Inspections, scope changes, and punch lists happen. A simple daily log creates a clean record the office can use when questions come up.
Wire, conduit, fittings, devices, lifts, and rentals add up fast. If material usage is not captured per job, margin disappears quietly.
