Office and field, connected

Trade job management software for the work after the quote.

Keep the agreed scope, site details, scheduled work and field records connected. AllQuote helps the office organise jobs and review what happened on site before invoicing and checking the result.

For UK contractors and field-service businesses. Tools, limits and connected services vary by plan and provider availability. Check current availability and pricing.

How the workflow fits together

STEP 1

Set up the job

Bring together the customer, site, scope and accepted quote. Keep files and instructions with the work they belong to.

STEP 2

Schedule people and visits

Plan the work and allocate the appropriate crew. Check availability and the job's requirements before confirming arrangements.

STEP 3

Capture the field record

Allocated field staff can use the tools available to their role to record time, notes, photos and assigned tasks. Office-only financial information remains permission-controlled.

STEP 4

Review costs and invoice

Review recorded labour, materials and expenses against the job, then prepare the appropriate invoice. Payment and job completion are separate actions.

Worked example: a commercial fit-out handover

An illustrative office-to-field workflow. Each stage retains a clear next action rather than treating a booked visit as completed work.

Confirm outstanding work, safety requirements and customer changes before marking the job complete. An invoice payment does not itself complete the job.

What to check before you commit

Useful at the point of work

Put the current scope, site instructions and files on the job so the allocated crew can find them.

Separate office and field access

Give people the role and job access they need. Field access is not a blanket grant to business margins, billing or reporting.

Review the actual result

Compare recorded costs with the agreed work. Treat incomplete costs and work in progress as provisional, not a final profitability result.

Questions about trade job management software

Is trade management software the same as job management software?

The terms often overlap. Here the workflow covers quoting, scheduling, field records, job costs and invoicing. Compare the specific tools, permissions and plan limits your business needs.

Can field staff access office financial information?

Access depends on role and permissions. Allocated field users have a field-safe job view; broad margins, billing and office reporting are restricted.

Does receiving payment complete the job?

No. Payment and job completion are separate. Review outstanding tasks and applicable safety or compliance requirements before explicitly completing work.
