Is Field a good alternative to Jobber for a cleaning crew?

It can be, if managing the crew is your biggest job. Field gives you rosters your cleaners accept on their phone, open shifts, swaps and clock-ins checked against the job site. If you mostly need customer tools like a client hub and marketing, Jobber is built for that.

What happens in Field when my crew has no signal?

Field works partly with no signal. Clock-ins, notes and photos save on the phone and sync when the signal comes back. Jobber says its app lets you track time, view visits and fill in job forms without internet.

Does Field connect to QuickBooks like Jobber does?

Not yet. Field has no accounting software connection today, but you can export your records. Jobber syncs with QuickBooks Online and Xero.
