Can you trust the numbers in Jobber?

Jobber is software for home and commercial service businesses that runs their work, team and revenue from the first quote to the final payment. Its own help pages give 3 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: The revenue figure on Jobber's dashboard is based on money billed rather than money collected, since, as its help pages say, it counts the value of sent invoices after discounts and before tax.

Is it broken, or just counted differently?

A number can look wrong because the business changed, or because of how Jobber counts it. Below is what Jobber keeps, where its help pages say the numbers can differ, and how to check them yourself.

How does Jobber work with Feder?

When you connect Jobber, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
