Why switching to Ascora transformed how JF Maintenance operates.
"After testing nearly every system out there, nothing could do it all, until we found Ascora. Now we're finally using our Purchase Order system the right way and saving more than $10,000 a year. We thought we had everything under control, but clearly, we were losing thousands before!"

Ascora vs ServiceM8 questions.
When should I move from ServiceM8 to Ascora?
When you outgrow simple job management. Ascora adds large project management, progressive invoicing, equipment, inventory and a full CRM, so it suits teams scaling beyond ServiceM8's core workflows.
Does Ascora cost more than ServiceM8?
Ascora's plans start at $45 per user per month with optional, not compulsory, onboarding, and bundle features ServiceM8 treats as add-ons or does not offer, so comparable setups are often better value.
Does Ascora include supplier bill import?
Yes, it is built in. On ServiceM8 supplier bill import is an add-on; Ascora auto-imports bills and can scan them with AI.
Can Ascora manage equipment and inventory?
Yes. Equipment maintenance, asset history and live inventory tracking are standard in Ascora and not available in ServiceM8.
Does Ascora handle large projects?
Yes. Large project management with sections, progressive invoices, variations and retentions are built in - capabilities ServiceM8 lacks.
