The Crystal IT Training team is here to help!
From basic technical support to complete setup & training, we can get you up and running in very little time and with a minimum of fuss.
Our personalised training and consulting programs are tailored specifically to your needs and questions. We can conduct these sessions either face-to-face or online using Teamviewer (a screen-sharing program), and your actual ServiceM8 data. As it is not a group webinar following a set course, it allows for
personal interaction between you and our trainers throughout the entire session. So sessions progress at a pace that you are comfortable with. Feel free to stop and ask questions at any time, or even ask your trainer to stop and repeat certain topics to gain complete understanding.

Important Notes regarding our Setup & Training Packages
1. These packages may not be suitable for companies who have unique and/or complex implementation needs, which may require a greater degree of analysis, design, customisation & training, to get ServiceM8 working suitably for them. In these cases, we would provide a custom quotation.
2. Package prices below and custom quotations are based upon the information we have received from you regarding your needs and current systems. The actual fee may vary if any of your requirements change during the engagement, or if we discover that our initial understanding of your requirements were inaccurate at the time of quoting, or if any additional work is required to bring your systems into line with ServiceM8’s requirements. These may include such items as: assisting you with correct setup of your inventory lists, upgrading your accounting system to a version compatible with ServiceM8, assisting with any local PC or general IT issues, etc.
3. Each training module is designed to run for a maximum period of time, as noted above. If at the conclusion of the allocated time, you feel that more time is needed to complete your understanding, then we are happy to continue, subject to our availability and your acknowledgment that additional fees will accrue at our standard consulting rate.
4. Up to five (5) users may participate in any training course. In our past experience, more than five participants create an unmanageable training environment, which becomes counter-productive to you. If more than 5 staff need to be trained in a particular topic, additional sessions will be required, at our standard hourly consulting fee.

Ongoing Fees Charged By ServiceM8
Ongoing Fees Charged By ServiceM8
First 20 Jobs Every Month – FREE With ServiceM8, the first 20 jobs booked each month are free. So many sole-traders and smaller businesses, should be able to use SeviceM8 at little or ongoing cost. Pay No More Than 50c Per Job With ServiceM8′s simple pay-as-you-go system, you get billed based on the number of jobs booked in each month. Rates start from 50c per job (and 8c per SMS) and get cheaper as you book more jobs each month. Alternatively, you may pre-purchase a batch of jobs called a “Credit Pack” from any of the Pre-Paid packs below, to take advantage of generous discounts on offer. Free Accounting System Integration While many other companies charge an additional fee for modules to integrate with your accounting package, ServiceM8 provides the most advanced 2-way integration for users of MYOB, Xero and Quickbooks Online for Free. Free iPhone/iPad App There are no additional costs for users of the ServiceM8 iPhone or iPad mobile App. In fact, you can have as many users as you like. No Lock In Contracts There are no hidden fees or fixed term contracts and you may cancel or stop using the system at any time. Of course, we’d hate to see you go, and that’s why we charge a small nominal fee per job. No Up-Front Credit Card Required We want you to sign up and get started as quickly as possible, so ServiceM8 will not ask for your credit card until you go over 20 jobs in a single month. If you never go over 20 jobs, you can continue using ServiceM8 for free, for as long as you like. No “Per User” fees At ServiceM8, we don’t want you to limit the number of staff that use our system – that would be counter-efficient. It’s in our interest to see you succeed and grow – so we allow you to have as many users as you like at no extra cost. No Additional Or Hidden Fees There are no additional fees, gotchas or extra charges hidden in the fine print. At ServiceM8, we’re here to help small business, and we’d like to be a partner in your success.
ServiceM8 Pricing
Questions
Is there a setup fee?
No. There is no setup fee for ServiceM8 if you want to do it yourself, however, there will be a Setup fee if you engage the services of a ServiceM8 Accredited Partner like Crystal IT.
My business closes for holidays. Will I be charged any fees?
No. One of the great things about ServiceM8 is that you are charged a nominal fee per job/quote. That means if you don’t book any jobs for a week, then you don’t receive any charges.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No, we want you to signup and get started as quickly as possible, so ServiceM8 will not ask for your credit card until you go over 20 jobs in a single month. ServiceM8 accepts payment via Paypal, Visa and MasterCard.
Can I prepay and receive a discount?
Yes, once you have a ServiceM8 account, you can pre-purchase job credit packs from within your account at a discounted rate.
Can I change my plan later on?
There are no plans at ServiceM8. At the end of each month we will tally your jobs and charge you based on the most cost effective job rate for that month, so you know you’re always getting the best price available.
Why charge per job instead of a fixed monthly fee?
We couldn’t think of a better way to show our commitment to improving your business than to charge you based on success. There’s no incentive for a fixed-fee provider to go the extra mile to assist you in completing more jobs. With ServiceM8, it’s in our interest not only for you to succeed, but to grow – and with no contracts we re-win our customers on a monthly basis.
What is classed as a Job/Quote for billing purposes?
A job or quote is any client which requests either a quote / estimate or a work order from you to deliver a service. If you have a quote / estimate which later becomes a work order, we will still only charge you one fee.
When does ServiceM8 send SMS messages?
SMS messages are only sent to customers and staff without iPhone or iPad’s, and only after you confirm the message. For staff with iPhone or iPads, push messages are sent via their internet connection free of charge.
