Jobber runs the schedule. Maximus runs the business.
Jobber handles scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and client management — well, for what it does. It doesn't answer your phone after hours, chase your aging invoices, reactivate dormant customers, or produce the documented operations a buyer values. Keep Jobber. Add Maximus for the rest.

The graduation moment
You started with Jobber at 2 trucks. Now you have 8. You are missing calls after hours. Your past customers have not heard from you. Your AR is growing. This is the graduation moment. You do not leave Jobber. You add Maximus.
What this means at exit
Most Jobber shops are in the sweet spot for the trades roll-up: $500K–$5M, owner-operated, organized but not enterprise-y. PE-backed acquirers are watching. They look at one thing first: what has this business actually built beyond revenue? Documented operations? Clean books? Recurring customer relationships? An owner who can step away?
Jobber gets you organized — necessary, not sufficient. Maximus produces the layer above Jobber that a buyer pays a higher multiple for. Every call logged, every reactivation tracked, every metric historical. Whether you sell in two years or twenty or never, the work pays off in any direction.
The frame
Jobber is the schedule. Maximus is the asset. Build it like you'd sell it — whether you sell or not.
