Chasing a job request that arrived as a text message, then typing it into SubcontractIT by hand later that day, is the kind of gap where jobs get missed or delayed while everyone is out on site. SubcontractIT already manages the quoting, scheduling and invoicing side of subcontractor work, and its Job action can create a new job the moment a text comes in, so nothing waits for someone to sit down, open a phone and copy details across from a message thread.

Connect the two accounts through Zapier and a reply to a text becomes a job sitting in SubcontractIT ready for scheduling, without a dispatcher retyping the details from a message thread later in the day. Trade businesses that take job requests by SMS can use this to guarantee every enquiry becomes a tracked job, even ones that come in after hours or over a weekend when nobody is watching the phone.
