Where it fits

Step 04 of the job: on site

The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.

Team & HR is where holiday & leave sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

About holiday & leave

What is holiday & leave for?

Holiday requests, approvals and remaining entitlement per person Absence recorded against the calendar so the diary reflects who is actually available

Does it cost more per engineer?

No. Every paid plan is unlimited users: office staff, engineers, apprentices and subcontractors. Growing the team does not grow the bill.

Can an engineer see the money side?

Only if you let them. Field users see their own jobs and the paperwork for them, and not the books, the margins or anyone else’s work.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Holiday & leave is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
