Joblogic is a comprehensive field service platform built for larger operations. ServiceM8 with PPM Service Contracts takes a different approach — lightweight job management paired with purpose-built planned maintenance, giving you contracts, assets, compliance, and automated scheduling at a fraction of the cost.
Enterprise platforms are powerful, but they're not the only way to manage planned maintenance effectively.
Enterprise platforms typically charge per user per month. As your team grows, so does the bill — making it harder to predict costs long-term.
Comprehensive platforms often require weeks of implementation, dedicated consultants, and extensive staff training before you're up and running.
Many enterprise tools don't publish pricing publicly. You have to sit through a sales demo before knowing what you'll pay — making it hard to compare options.
Full-platform solutions cover everything from CAFM to accounting integration. For businesses focused on maintenance contracts, that depth can be more than what's needed.
PPM plugs directly into ServiceM8. Your clients, sites, and jobs stay exactly where they are. No migration, no retraining.
Track every piece of equipment per site with manufacturer, model, serial number, and service history. Link assets to contracts with full lifecycle management.
Record gas safety certificates, F-Gas compliance, electrical certificates, and more. Automated expiry reminders so nothing lapses.
Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, or annual schedules with automated ServiceM8 job generation when services are due.
See your upcoming workload by week, month, and quarter. Plan engineer capacity and avoid last-minute scrambles.
Give facility managers and property owners secure access to view their contracts, upcoming services, and compliance documents online.

Requires a ServiceM8 subscription
Joblogic is a comprehensive field service platform often better suited to larger operations. ServiceM8 with PPM takes a lighter approach — giving you the same planned maintenance capabilities including contracts, assets, compliance, and automated scheduling, with transparent flat-rate pricing and same-day setup.
Dedicated platforms like Joblogic offer comprehensive field service management including PPM. If you're starting fresh, that's a strong option. But if you're already invested in ServiceM8, PPM gives you the same core PPM capabilities — contracts, assets, compliance, scheduling — without the cost and disruption of switching platforms.
PPM is £17.99 per month flat, on top of your existing ServiceM8 subscription. There are no per-user fees, no setup costs, and no long-term commitments. Standalone platforms typically use per-user pricing with implementation fees, which can add up quickly for growing teams.
