ServicePro

ServicePro has released a mobile-friendly and refreshed version of the firm’s free basic software package ServBasic. This has been the last step of the larger ServicePro rebranding project, the company says. In addition to becoming fully mobile-friendly and usable on a tablet and mobile devices, ServBasic now has a new user interface and improved functionality. Technicians out in the field can now use the ServBasic core application on their tablet and mobile devices.

“We have done a complete visual redesign, using a more modern approach, but still kept the same functionality,” says ServicePro COO Andy Deering. “Our updated look captures the energy, freshness and innovation that our company stands for, and we are very excited to share this change.” ServBasic is a basic software package that allows users to have the first 200 customers, or first year of usage (whichever comes first), free of charge. It can help PMPs manage accounts, work orders, invoicing, calendar/scheduling, reporting, printing and more.
