Following the introduction of its cloud-based Planner tool for the field service sector, software developer jobmate is reporting a strong and positive response from SMEs, engineers, and service providers looking to modernise the way they schedule and manage work.
jobmate Planner
jobmate Planner, launched earlier this year, is designed to help smaller businesses and field operatives address common industry challenges such as last-minute cancellations, emergency call-outs, skills and certification matching, and the need for real-time visibility across teams.
“Reinforcing the features announced at its launch,” says Chris Dalton, jobmate CEO and co-founder, “Planner continues to distinguish itself through its drag-and-drop simplicity, making job allocation and reallocation fast and effortless.”
Moreover, explains Chris, the app ensures that operatives with the appropriate skills and certifications are deployed to the correct tasks, while also helping users confirm parts availability, supplier status, or customer asset information.
Service providers working in fast-moving environments, such as the transport and logistics sector, including tail-lift maintenance and vehicle safety inspections, have says jobmate, already adopted the platform to reduce downtime, eliminate scheduling conflicts, and keep clients updated with accurate information.
“Planner operates as a secure, device-agnostic progressive web app (PWA) providing access from smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices, making it easy to use from the office or on the go,” says Chris.
Planner is provided as part of jobmate pro, the company’s comprehensive management suite tailored for field service operations. jobmate Pro equips businesses with tools such as digital timesheets, automated certification-expiry alerts, and inventory oversight—helping teams stay compliant, productive, and better connected.
Reflecting on the industry’s response, Chris adds: “The feedback since launch has been very encouraging. SMEs and contractors tell us Planner is reducing pressure on scheduling teams while giving field operatives the real-time clarity they need to do their best work.”
