NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Business and Jobber, the leading provider of operations management software for home service businesses, today announced Field Management Tablet Plus, an all-in-one solution designed to meet the needs of the millions of home service businesses within the United States. Small and midsize home service businesses can take advantage of this out-of-the-box bundled solution of preloaded Jobber software on a Verizon-connected tablet to streamline, automate and organize their daily business operations.
The Field Management Tablet Plus solution makes managing field service work easier for home service business owners, their employees, and the customers they serve. With the Jobber platform, daily tasks such as quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments are all managed in one place. Customers of home service businesses can also benefit from automated communications and an online self-serve portal.
Having the Jobber app preloaded onto a Verizon-connected tablet removes a barrier many small businesses face: the time-consuming task of loading software applications on a device-by-device basis. Further, through this partnership, businesses can save more by bundling and can receive a single combined bill from Verizon.
Field Management Tablet Plus also helps address security concerns that small and midsize home service business owners face when company and customer information is on their employees’ personal devices. The solution comes preloaded with Verizon Mobile Device Management (MDM), which helps simplify tablet deployment, management, and security policies.
“Adding Jobber to our partner ecosystem is core to our strategy of providing small and midsize businesses with the connectivity, tools, and platforms they need to compete in the market,” said Aparna Khurjekar, Chief Revenue Officer, Business Markets & SaaS, Verizon Business. “Through the Field Management Tablet Plus solution, we are making it easy for home service businesses to leverage the premier operations platform backed by our superior connectivity to meet their business needs.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Verizon Business on the Field Management Tablet Plus solution, which will make it easier for small businesses to get the tools they need to succeed,” said Sam Pillar, CEO & co-founder of Jobber. “The team at Verizon Business understands the importance of the home service category and shares our customer centric approach to building solutions that help small businesses thrive and grow. This strategic partnership will help tens of thousands of home service businesses across America adopt technology that will improve how their services are delivered to millions of homes.”
Jobber’s experience in supporting over 200,000 home service professionals in more than 50 industries, including landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, and residential cleaning, helps ensure that a wide range of businesses can benefit from this 360-degree solution. Customers who purchase the Field Management Tablet Plus solution can sign up, manage, and add users to their Jobber account directly through Verizon sales representatives.
