Fergus vs The Service Manager

Fergus is job management software for trades and service businesses, covering work from customer enquiry and quoting through scheduling and invoicing. Teams can prepare professional quotes and use a customisable calendar to assign jobs. Job Cards gather information such as quotes, purchase orders, costs, reporting, and customer details.

Fergus lists recurring jobs, route optimisation, and offline mode. Accounting integrations with Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB can sync business information. Supplier integrations can import invoices and match them to jobs; premium supplier connections add pricebook updates, purchase orders, and invoice reconciliation. A Zapier integration connects Fergus to more than 3,000 apps. The product is made by Fergus, headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. Its 14-day free trial of Essentials starts without a credit card.
