FAQ
Do I need to switch from Jobber or QuickBooks?
No. Keep using your current invoicing and admin tools.
How long does job logging take?
Fast enough to fit between stops — most folks wrap up in about a minute and a half, often less.
Can I track travel time separately from work time?
Yes, travel and labor time are tracked as separate cost inputs.
Do you report my data to the IRS or other authorities?
No. MarginMate does not automatically report your job data to tax authorities. Your records remain private to your account.
Can MarginMate text my customers automatically?
Yes. Send automated on-the-way updates on emergency calls, thank-you texts after drain clears and installs, review requests, and seasonal maintenance reminders — all alongside your existing invoicing tools.
