Common Questions About Switching from Jobber

What about Jobber's client hub?

Jobber's client portal is theirs. Nexa doesn't have a client portal yet — customers receive invoices via email/text with payment links.

Does Nexa have route optimization?

Nexa shows jobs on a map view, but doesn't auto-optimize routes. Most contractors find manual routing with map view sufficient. For complex routing, pair with Google Maps or Route4Me.

What about recurring jobs?

Nexa handles recurring schedules in the Bookings module. You'll rebuild your recurring job templates, but the setup takes about 15 minutes for most schedules.
