Job management software, answered directly
What is job management software?
Job management software from ANTLR Tech is one system that follows a job from the first phone call to the paid invoice — who's doing it, when, with what parts, at what cost. It is built for your operation rather than configured from a product, so the screens follow the way your team already works. Typically 15–300 staff, several crews, and a dispatcher holding it together on a whiteboard. You know the work is profitable; you can't prove which jobs are.
How much does job management software cost?
It depends on scope, integrations and how many locations you run — so we don't publish a number that would be wrong for most people. What we do commit to is the shape: a short paid discovery, then a fixed price for a defined first release that you approve before any production code is written. No open-ended billing, and no surprise at the end.
How long does it take to build?
A first working release lands in 8–14 weeks from kickoff. We run two-week cycles with a demo at the end of each, so your team is using part of the system while the rest is still being built — rather than waiting for a single reveal at the end.
Who is job management software for?
Field service, trades, installation and maintenance teams. Typically 15–300 staff, several crews, and a dispatcher holding it together on a whiteboard. You know the work is profitable; you can't prove which jobs are. If an off-the-shelf product already fits without workarounds, we will say so — custom software only pays when the process is specific enough that rented tools fight you.

Dispatch moved off the whiteboard. Four depots now plan from the same board, and invoicing takes hours instead of days.

Questions buyers ask about job management software
Will the crews actually use it?
That is the test we design for, and it is the one most systems fail. The mobile app does four things well rather than forty badly, the targets are big enough to hit with gloves on, and it keeps working when the signal drops and syncs once it returns.
How long until we're off the whiteboard?
A first release in production typically lands 8–14 weeks after kickoff, and we sequence dispatch first because that is what the whiteboard is actually doing. Crews move across one at a time, with the board still up until the office trusts the screen more than the marker pen.
Can we keep QuickBooks?
Yes, and most clients do. Invoices are raised from the completed job — with the hours, parts and variations already attached — then sync across to QuickBooks. Your bookkeeper carries on in the tool they know, without re-keying anything from a job sheet.
What happens to our job history?
Migration is part of the build rather than an afterthought. We map the fields, clean what has drifted over the years, load it and reconcile the totals with you. Both systems then run side by side until your team confirms the new one is correct.
Who owns the software?
You do. The repository, the hosting accounts and the data are yours from day one, documented at handover so another team could pick the work up. There is no seat licence and no fee that exists only to keep you with us.
Do we need a written specification before starting job management software?
No. Most clients arrive with a problem rather than a spec. Deciding what to build first — and what to leave alone — is the work of the discovery stage, and you keep the process map that comes out of it either way.
