In this guide
Plumbers, electricians, cleaners, installers, maintenance firms and other service businesses run on jobs: an enquiry, a quote, a visit, work done, a customer update and an invoice. When these live in messages, notebooks and spreadsheets, jobs are forgotten and customers keep calling. This page describes what Simple Automation Solutions builds for field service and trades businesses on Bubble.io.

What do we build?
| Build | What it does | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Job management system | Enquiry, quote, booking, assignment, completion and invoice in one record | Office staff and technicians |
| Quote builder | Standard items and prices turned into consistent quotes with customer approval | Sales and customers |
| Scheduling and dispatch | Calendar, assignment, changes and conflicts | Dispatchers and technicians |
| Technician mobile view | Job list, notes, photos, checklists and completion from a phone | Technicians |
| Customer updates | Confirmations, arrival notices and completion messages | Customers |
| Invoicing and payment links | Invoices from completed jobs with payment options | Office staff and customers |
| Owner dashboard | Jobs, revenue, outstanding quotes and technician workload | Owners and managers |
What are the core workflows?
- Enquiry to quote: capture, price, send and approve.
- Booking: schedule and assign the right technician.
- On site: notes, photos and checklists captured as work happens.
- Customer updates: automatic messages at each stage.
- Invoice: generated from the completed job and followed up.
Why a mobile-friendly web app often works
Field staff mostly need a phone-friendly interface for job lists, notes and photos, not necessarily a native app. A responsive web app can be live sooner and cheaper, and native can follow if you need features such as reliable push alerts. See what an MVP really costs.
How do we handle privacy and access?
- Technicians see only their own jobs.
- Customers see only their own quotes, jobs and invoices.
- Office roles control who can change prices and invoices.
- Photos and notes are stored with restricted access.
- An audit trail records changes to quotes and jobs.
- Rules are enforced in the data and tested with multiple accounts before launch. See our security guide.
Professional, sector and data protection rules vary by country, and you remain responsible for yours. We build to support them, and recommend taking advice where regulated data is involved.
How does a project run?
- Free Idea Audit (30 minutes). We discuss your process and what hurts most.
- Discovery Sprint ($345). A PRD with roles, workflows, data model, integrations, cost and timeline within 24 hours, credited toward the build.
- Build. On a separate test version, with regular demos.
- Pilot. A small first group, then wider rollout with short guides.
- Launch and iterate. Improvements and support from $35 per hour, with no retainers or minimums.

What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Builds start at $3,500, with the final quote based on the PRD. The main drivers are user flows, roles, integrations, platform and data complexity. Typical launches take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on scope. See our Bubble.io cost guide and realistic build schedules.
