What is Jobber?
Jobber is a well-established field service management platform founded in Canada and widely used by trade contractors and home service businesses across the United States, Canada and increasingly in the UK and Australia. The platform covers the core operational needs of a trade business: job scheduling and dispatch, customer relationship management, quoting, invoicing and payment collection. Jobber has built a strong reputation in the North American market for its user experience, customer support and breadth of features across the service business workflow.
Jobber's strengths include its scheduling engine, which handles both on-demand service calls and planned maintenance visits efficiently, and its customer portal, which allows clients to request work, approve quotes and pay invoices online. The platform integrates well with North American accounting software — QuickBooks, Xero — and payment processors. Jobber's mobile app is well-designed and gives field technicians the tools they need to manage their jobs on site.
The platform has been expanding its presence outside North America, but its core design, compliance features and integrations remain primarily oriented toward the US and Canadian market.
What is QuotCraft?
QuotCraft is a platform built specifically for trade contractors operating in Europe: Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and the United Kingdom. QuotCraft's design is shaped by the specific regulatory and commercial requirements of European markets — Peppol e-invoicing mandates, wholesaler catalogues specific to European electrical and plumbing distributors, and digital signature requirements under the eIDAS regulation.
QuotCraft covers the full commercial workflow of a European trade contractor: quotes with live prices from Van Marcke, Technische Unie, Rexel and Sonepar across different European countries; digital signatures that are legally valid under EU eIDAS; country-specific Peppol e-invoicing for Belgium (BIS 3), France (Factur-X), Germany (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) and the UK (PINT UK); and milestone billing for project-based construction work.
The core difference
Jobber and QuotCraft are both designed for trade contractors, but they are optimised for fundamentally different market contexts. Jobber is optimised for the North American trade contractor: US and Canadian tax treatment, North American payment methods, English-language workflows, and compliance requirements specific to the US and Canadian regulatory environment. It is a strong platform in its home market.
QuotCraft is optimised for the European trade contractor: navigating Peppol e-invoicing mandates that differ between Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands; accessing European wholesaler catalogues for live materials pricing; issuing invoices in the structured electronic formats required by each country's e-invoicing legislation; and using digital signatures that comply with the EU eIDAS regulation. These are not features that a North American platform has historically needed to prioritise.
Where QuotCraft wins for European trade contractors
QuotCraft's European-specific features represent a meaningful advantage for trade contractors operating in EU markets. The Peppol e-invoicing coverage is comprehensive and country-specific: Belgian contractors can issue Peppol BIS 3 invoices mandatory since January 2026; French contractors can adopt Factur-X ahead of the September 2026 mandate; German contractors can issue XRechnung and ZUGFeRD invoices in preparation for the 2027 mandate; Dutch contractors can adopt Peppol as the EU ViDA regulation shapes the future requirement.
The wholesaler integrations cover the most important European electrical and plumbing distributors: Van Marcke, Rexel Belgium and Cebeo in Belgium; Technische Unie and Rexel in the Netherlands; Rexel Germany and Sonepar Germany in Germany; Rexel France and Sonepar France in France; Rexel UK in the United Kingdom. AI quote writing is available in Dutch, French, German, Spanish and English. Digital signatures are valid across the EU under eIDAS.
Where Jobber does well
Jobber is an excellent platform for North American trade contractors and home service businesses. Its scheduling system handles both one-off jobs and recurring service visits efficiently. The customer-facing features — online booking, automated notifications and client portal — are polished and provide a professional customer experience. The reporting and analytics features give business owners clear visibility into revenue, job completion rates and team productivity.
For UK contractors who do significant business with North American clients or who operate in a market context aligned with Jobber's feature set, the platform's strengths in scheduling and customer communication are genuine assets. Jobber's support team is well-regarded, and its active user community provides a useful resource for new users.
Who should choose Jobber?
Jobber is the better choice for trade contractors primarily operating in North American markets, or for UK and Australian contractors whose operational needs centre on scheduling efficiency and customer communication rather than European e-invoicing compliance. Businesses that have already built their workflow around Jobber and are satisfied with its quoting and invoicing capabilities as they apply to their market context are well-served by the platform.
Jobber is not the optimal choice for European trade contractors who need Peppol e-invoicing compliance, European wholesaler catalogue integrations, or AI quote writing in Dutch, French, German or Spanish.
Who should choose QuotCraft?
QuotCraft is the right choice for trade contractors operating in Europe — Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and the UK — who need a platform built around European regulatory requirements and wholesaler ecosystems. Whether you need Belgian Peppol BIS 3 today, French Factur-X from 2026, or German XRechnung from 2027, QuotCraft is designed with those mandates at its core.
The free version covers quotes, invoices, digital signatures and client management. The paid plan adds country-specific Peppol e-invoicing, AI features in local languages, European wholesaler integrations and advanced project planning. QuotCraft is the European trade contractor's platform of choice.
Switching from Jobber to QuotCraft
Migrating from Jobber to QuotCraft is well-supported. Customer data, job histories and product catalogues can be exported and imported. The QuotCraft onboarding team configures your country-specific Peppol e-invoicing, wholesaler integrations and quote templates during the initial setup process. The transition can be phased, with QuotCraft introduced first for the quoting and invoicing workflow before migrating job management operations.
