Business Genie is field service management software for contractors, built around route optimization — schedule and route your crews, then invoice and get paid, on the web and in the iOS and Android app.

1Step 1 · Sign up

Before the first job

Business Genie is cloud software: it runs on the web and in the iOS and Android app, and its trial is a full month, twice as long as Jobber’s or Housecall Pro’s 14 days. Service Fusion’s apps are on iOS and Android too.

2Steps 2–3 · Scheduled, On the road

Booking, dispatch and the drive

Both list online booking and scheduling and dispatch. Between the schedule and the job is the drive, and the drive is what Business Genie is built around: route optimization orders each day’s jobs automatically and re-routes the day when a job is added, so the day is driven as routed, not in the order the jobs were booked. On the job there is GPS time tracking.

Steps 4–5 · Invoiced and paid, Into QuickBooks

Invoicing, payments and QuickBooks

Both invoice and take payments, and both work with QuickBooks Online; on Service Fusion all of it is on the Starter plan. In Business Genie, your customer can pay by card, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo or Cash App.

Steps 6–7 · Job costed, Customer portal

Job costing and the customer portal

These are the steps that move a Service Fusion account up its plans. Its job costing is on Plus; its customer web portal is on Pro, alongside eSignatures, custom documents and API access. Business Genie has job costing and a customer portal of its own.
