Think twice if

Caveats to resolve before choosing it.

  • Inventory managementServiceM8 partially supports inventory management by showing stock levels from a connected accounting package and updating them when invoices containing tracked items synchronize. It does not establish ServiceM8 as the independent system of record for stock quantities.
  • Route optimizationAuto Routing is an add-on, operates on one staff member and day at a time, and needs Job Allocations for full scheduling flexibility.
  • Maintenance agreementsServiceM8 partially supports maintenance agreements through recurring jobs and maintenance scheduling. It can recreate and schedule repeat jobs, send reminders, retain asset history, and support recurring-job autopay, but the reviewed sources do not establish a dedicated agreement record with contract terms, renewals, and lifecycle management.
