You like running jobs from your phone, keep that, and add a dispatch board, built-in safety, inventory and accounting sync, without per-job limits getting in the way.
We map your jobs, contacts and assets with our guided importer.
A specialist checks the data with you and sets up your trades.
Schedule the crew, run jobs in the app, send an invoice.
ServiceM8 is great for going solo. As the crew grows, the gaps start to cost time and money.
Per-job pricing can bite as volume climbs. SKEDS is simple per-seat, run as many jobs as you like.
SWMS and hazard records end up in a separate folder. SKEDS builds compliance into every job.
Coordinating several techs gets fiddly. A drag-and-drop board shows every tech’s day at a glance.
What you get in one SKEDS plan, versus stitching it together or paying for add-ons.

General comparison of common setups. ServiceM8’s capabilities vary by plan, so check their current feature list. SKEDS columns reflect features included on the Pro plan.
Our guided importer maps your clients, job history, contacts and asset records into SKEDS, so you start from your real business, not a blank screen. A migration specialist runs it with you, and generic CSV covers anything else.
Your crew completes safety before they pick up a tool. Every record is timestamped, signed and audit-ready, not buried in a paper folder.
“We were drowning in ServiceM8 job queues. With SKEDS the whole crew is on one board and safety is finally done before anyone’s on the tools.”
Yes. Our guided importer maps your your clients, job history, contacts and asset records across, and a migration specialist runs it with you. Most teams are live within a weekend.
No. We bring your clients, job history and price lists with you, and you can keep ServiceM8 open in read-only until you’re confident everything landed. Generic CSV import covers anything the direct importer doesn’t.
It does. The crew can open jobs, add notes, take photos and complete safety checks offline. Everything syncs the moment they’re back in range.
No. Plans are monthly per user with no lock-in, and you can change tiers or add seats as the crew grows. Start solo for free, or take a 14-day trial of Pro, no card needed.
Import your data, schedule your first week, and send an invoice before the trial’s up. We’ll run the migration with you.
