Looking for a ServiceM8 alternative?
ServiceM8 is a popular choice for field service work. If you're comparing alternatives, My Apprentice runs the whole trade business in one app — quoting, jobs, scheduling, invoicing, online payments, timesheets and materials — on the web from any device, with the office and the field crew on the same page.
What you get with My Apprentice
- Quoting built on your own price book, with margins calculated automatically
- Jobs that tie quotes, shifts, materials, photos and invoices together
- Scheduling & dispatch on a board of workers × time, with attention flags for unassigned work
- Invoicing with GST, automatic reminders and Xero sync
- Card payments via your own Stripe account, reconciled automatically
- A client portal where customers accept quotes, track jobs and pay invoices — included, not an add-on
- Timesheets fed by shift clock-in/clock-out, approved and exported for payroll
- Materials & inventory with per-location stock and OCR supplier invoices
- Runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone — the whole team works from anywhere
