What PPMdesk does differently

The admin drafted for you, and engineers free

PPMdesk is built around one idea: the office shouldn't be retyping what arrives by email. It reads client emails, job sheets, contractor bills and certificates and drafts the job, the reply or the invoice for a person to approve.

  • Jobs drafted from client emails, with the engineer suggested and the reasons shown
  • Invoices drafted from the signed-off job sheet and your rates, with problems flagged first
  • Fix it for finished jobs that can't be invoiced, with the chasing email written
  • Engineers and subcontractors work from a link on their phone, with no licence to pay for
  • One published price with every feature included, and no contract

When Joblogic may suit you better

If you need SFG20 maintenance schedules, stock control, or accounting packages other than Xero, Joblogic covers those today and PPMdesk does not. PPMdesk is newer and has a smaller customer base.
