Jobber alternatives for African service businesses

The shortlist

1. 1. Omni Field

   Omni Field is job and field service management software built in Cape Town for trade and service businesses across Africa, and billing is processed in South African Rand through Paystack. Jobber is a job management platform headquartered in Canada, with subscription plans published on its website. Both cover scheduling, quoting and invoicing.

   • Omni Field bills in South African Rand, and displays prices in local currency for South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt, Rwanda and Côte d'Ivoire at a fixed rate, with the Rand amount always shown before you pay.
   • Payments run through Paystack, so you can take card and bank payments without opening a separate merchant account. Payouts land in 2 to 3 days and carry a 1% transaction charge.
   • Customer notifications go out by email and WhatsApp from inside the job record, so the message and the job history stay together.
   • The field app is an installable PWA that tolerates a dropped signal. Technicians keep working, and a sync queue sends the work up when the connection returns.
