How much does it cost to replace Joblogic with your own system?
Joblogic is the UK's most widely used field-service platform at €50–€60/seat/month: a 30-engineer FM contractor team pays over €20,000 a year. A custom replacement covering job scheduling, PPM, SFG20 compliance forms, asset management, quoting, invoicing, and a subcontractor portal typically costs €35,000–€45,000 to build in total. Split across a five-firm founding cohort, each pays ~€7,000–€9,000. Annual running cost is a flat ~€2,500, no per-seat, no annual rise. Payback on the build contribution lands in year two for a 30-seat team.
