Frequently Asked Questions
How does handyman scheduling software handle different job lengths?
Handyman work varies wildly—a 30-minute faucet repair vs. a 6-hour deck project. Business Genie lets you set different durations for different job types. When you schedule a job, you select the service type and the calendar blocks the appropriate time. You can also manually adjust duration for specific jobs that might take longer or shorter than usual. The system prevents overbooking by showing your true availability based on job durations.
Can handyman customers book appointments online?
Yes. Business Genie includes online booking that integrates with your website or social media. Customers see your available time slots and book directly. They can describe the work needed, and you receive a notification of the new booking. You still have full control—you can adjust, reschedule, or add details to any booking. Online booking is especially valuable for handymen because customers often need quick repairs and want to book after hours.
How do I see my schedule and navigate to jobs as a solo handyman?
The Business Genie mobile app shows your daily schedule with all job details: customer name, address, job description, and any notes or photos from the booking. Turn-by-turn navigation gets you to each job. You can see what's coming up, check off completed jobs, and add notes for future reference. If you need to reschedule something mid-day, you can do it right from your phone and customers are notified automatically.
How does Business Genie help handymen reduce drive time?
When you have multiple jobs in a day, the route optimization feature arranges them in the most efficient order based on locations and drive times. Instead of zigzagging across town, you work through a logical geographic sequence. This can save 30-60 minutes per day on a full schedule. That's time you can use for an additional job or to end your day earlier. Many handymen report fitting 1-2 extra jobs per week just from better routing.
