- We already use ServiceM8. Can you just take over from our current partner?
- Yes. We don't require you to start over. We audit how the platform is currently configured against what your business does day-to-day, flag the gaps and the live issues, and pick those off in priority order. If the existing setup is fine, we say so. Switching partners doesn't mean re-implementing.
- Do you only work with HVAC, plumbing, or electrical?
- No. We work with any field-services business on ServiceM8. The Servicing Manager add-on is heavily used in trades that run maintenance plans (HVAC, refrigeration, pumps, gates and doors, fire), but the platform itself fits any business that schedules work to a site. Cleaning, pest, locksmithing, security, signage, all run on it.
- We are not in Perth. Does that matter?
- For ServiceM8 work, no. Implementation, training, and add-on development all run remotely. We have customers across Australia. Onsite IT work is a separate service that is bound to our service area; that is not what most ServiceM8 engagements need.
- How long does an implementation take?
- A new implementation for a single business runs four to eight weeks of elapsed time, depending on how much existing data needs to migrate and how many staff need training. The configuration work itself is concentrated; the time mostly goes to scheduling training sessions around your busy season and signing off each milestone with you.
- We need an integration ServiceM8 does not have a native connector for. Can you build it?
- Usually yes. ServiceM8 has a documented REST API and a webhook system, which is enough to integrate with anything that itself has an API. The question is not "can it be built" but "is the volume of records moving across enough to justify the build". We will tell you which one of those you are in.
- Do you offer ongoing support for the platform after go-live?
- Yes, two ways. Either as part of a CCP Managed IT engagement (where ServiceM8 sits alongside your Microsoft 365, devices, phones, internet, and security), or as a standalone ServiceM8 support retainer if you have your IT covered elsewhere. Either way, the same team that did the implementation does the ongoing support.
- Can you build a private add-on just for our business?
- Yes. ServiceM8 allows private add-ons that only your account can install. We use that for custom work that is too business-specific to publish. If the build is general enough that other operators would benefit, we discuss whether publishing it makes the economics better for everyone.
