Quick facts: Washington
- Trial
- 7 days, no credit card, per Workiz
- Best use
- Calls, scheduling, invoicing, follow-ups
Fees, rules and rates change, often on July 1 and January 1. Verify every item with the responsible agency before you rely on it.
Short answer: Workiz does the scheduling, invoicing and records; it does not tell you what to charge, who should do what, or what to fix first. Get more from it by building a real price book, using online booking and automatic follow-ups, sending review requests after every job, and checking average ticket and booking rate every week. Contractor Lane Operator works alongside it as the system and mentor.

Plenty of contractors pay for Workiz and use a fraction of it. Software is a tool, not a system. Here is how to get your money's worth.
Set these up first
- Price book: every common job with a price built from your real labor, overhead and margin. See building a price book.
- Online booking and call handling: so missed calls still become jobs. See calls while you are on a job.
- Automatic follow-ups: on unsold estimates and unpaid invoices. See getting paid.
- Review requests: after every completed job. See Google Business Profile.
- Weekly numbers: average ticket, booking rate, and revenue by lead source. See average ticket and booking rate.
What the software will not do
- Tell you what to charge so every job pays.
- Decide who does the office work at your size. See who does the office work.
- Train your team or keep your filings on time.
