Jobber is a strong choice for service workflows. SimplySub is focused on daily framing execution, job-based timecards, logs, photos, and materials per job.
Service tools are great for scheduling and billing, but they do not solve daily jobsite capture on production framing work. Framing crews still need job-based timecards, clean daily logs, progress photos, and material tracking tied to the job. That is why many contractors keep a service workflow tool for quoting and invoicing, and add a jobsite-first system like SimplySub for daily execution.
Schedules do not replace job-based timecards. Framing crews still need clean hours per job to keep payroll and job costing inputs accurate.
Weather, inspections, schedule changes, and rework impact production. A simple daily log keeps the record straight for the office and for the GC.
Lumber, sheathing, hangers, fasteners, and rentals add up fast. If material usage is not logged per job, margin disappears quietly. SimplySub makes material logs part of the daily routine.
