Klipboard

Demonstrate a real reactive job and a planned maintenance visit, including asset history, engineer assignment, offline form completion and a certificate. The building-maintenance page also describes direct Xero and QuickBooks connections and a client portal for job history, certificates and invoices. Check the QuickBooks edition, sync direction, portal permissions and these document and billing steps in the proposed package.

Ask for a written scope that distinguishes the field-service product, optional fleet and payments services, trial access, accounting connection and recurring-maintenance rules. No vendor page verifies a time saving, compliance outcome or payment settlement for a particular business.

Site and asset records can hold service history, warranties, maintenance schedules and linked documents. Recurring maintenance jobs may be generated from contract or asset requirements. Validate asset import, recurring-job rules and exception handling with a sample portfolio.

Engineers can use iOS or Android mobile access for job details, site and asset history and digital forms. The vendor describes offline work followed by automatic synchronization. Test photos, signatures, form edits and conflict handling in low-connectivity sites before relying on it.

Digital risk assessments, inspections and certificates can be stored against jobs, assets and sites. The field-service product page also describes configurable forms, PDF designs, mandatory completion rules and timesheet capture. Configure the forms against the business's own compliance process; the product page alone does not establish legal compliance.

A broader product page promotes vehicle tracking, driver-behaviour and fleet maintenance alongside field-service tools. Those are related capabilities on Klipboard's site; they should not be counted as part of this building-maintenance profile unless the quote names them.

Klipboard's field-service product page describes separate stock locations, inventory allocated to active jobs, and supplier purchase orders triggered from report data. If these functions matter for a UK building-maintenance setup, ask to see a representative job use the correct stock location, allocate parts, show remaining counts, and produce a replenishment purchase order. Confirm that the quoted modules include this workflow.

The field-service product page describes automatic maintenance reminders and scheduled SMS or email templates for booking confirmations and reminders. For a multi-site service contract, demonstrate which customer or site contact receives each notice and what happens after an appointment is rescheduled; confirm any message limits or charges and whether the quoted UK configuration includes these tools.

The field-service product page describes turning an approved quote into a job. In a demo, change a quoted part or rate before approval, then check what carries into the created job and who can correct it afterward. Confirm this path is included in the quoted UK building-maintenance configuration.

If margin reporting drives the purchase, reconcile one sample job's labour, materials and other costs against its quote and final invoice. Klipboard advertises live job-cost and margin visibility, but the page does not define every cost rule or prove the buyer's numbers will agree. Ask to see the calculation and correction path in the proposed configuration.

Ask an engineer to submit a fictional day's hours, travel and expenses in the app and have the office follow those entries into billing. Check approval, correction, overtime and contract-rate rules rather than assuming that captured time is automatically billable. Confirm this timesheet workflow in the quoted UK package.

Request a written implementation plan for the proposed configuration: who imports site and asset records, configures forms and rates, trains office and field users, and signs off the first completed job. Klipboard says it supports setup, configuration and onboarding; confirm the timetable, acceptance checks and any charges in the actual quote.

Before giving customers portal access, demo two fictional contacts at one multi-site client. Check separately what job history, certificates, invoices and uploaded PDFs each can open, whether a document can be restricted to selected members, and who receives quote, due-invoice and completed-job alerts. Klipboard's current pages confirm a portal and the named record types, but leave these member-level controls and alert rules unspecified; confirm them in the quoted UK configuration.
