JOBLOGIC ALTERNATIVE

Joblogic vs
Gas Engineer Software (GES)

Joblogic is a well-regarded job management software with a huge network of features. It keeps a focus on contract-heavy work and caters to a diverse range of trades from electrical to HVAC.

Gas Engineer Software (GES) takes the job management core and tailors it specifically to the heating and plumbing industry with tools and workflows built for the jobs that heating engineers do.

OVERVIEW

Two capable platforms, built for different types of businesses

  • 1

    Heating & plumbing only, vs multi-trade

    Joblogic caters to a wide range of different trades, while Gas Engineer Software is built for heating & plumbing, and nothing else.

    With GES, the software stays intuitive to use and you only pay for features you'll use, not what an electrical or facilities management company needs.

  • 2

    Specialist features for heating & plumbing

    From a gas rate calculator to a pipe sizing calculators and even 2,300+ boiler manuals with boiler AI Assist, GES is genuinely useful for the engineer out on the tools.

    Combine this with all the certificates, scheduling, quoting, and invoicing being done in the same job management app.

  • 3

    Pricing, flexibility, and setup

    Joblogic's cheapest plan starts at £45 per month, per user, which is significantly more than GES. Their 7-day free trial is also locked behind booking a demo with the team.

    GES offers a 14-day free trial that can be started in seconds with zero committment and complete flexibility to upgrade/downgrade or cancel without contracts that lock you in.

IN DETAIL

Where GES wins as the heating business platform

Joblogic is a very feature-rich platform, but it’s aimed at enterprise businesses with different trade divisions, large fleets, and teams of 50+. GES focuses purely on heating & plumbing workflows and provides an efficient system businesses can use to hit the ground running. Where GES treats gas & oil work as a core part of the workflow, Joblogic treats it as one part of a wider platform.

Analyser readings and heating tools, in the same app

Pair your analyser over Bluetooth and the readings drop straight into the certificate, with a dated report carrying the results and calibration details to cover your work.

Gas rate and pipe sizing sit in the same app as the paperwork, so you're not juggling a calculator app and a certificate app on one job.

  • Kane, Anton and TPI analysers supported
  • Readings added directly into the certificate
  • Gas rate and pipe sizing built in
Joblogic doesn't offer an analyser integration or heating calculators.

Easy to set up, with nothing to commit to

No contract, no mandatory demo, no implementation project. Start a free trial, have a look round, and ask us to import your customers when you're ready.

GES still offers a free demo and training for anyone who'd prefer a more hands-on setup.

  • Get up and running within a day
  • 14 days free by simply creating an account
  • Three transparent pricing plans on the website, no quote needed
  • Month to month — add or drop users as the work changes
Joblogic trials are set up on request, and their FAQ says most customers commit to 24 or 36 months.

Workflows designed around heating & plumbing only

Every screen is shaped around how a heating job actually runs — customer, appliance, certificate, invoice, reminder. Nothing on it is there for somebody else's trade.

  • Certificates are the product, not a module
  • Appliance details remembered from the last visit
  • No menus full of tools you'll never open
Joblogic covers 30+ industries, from pest control to stadium management.

Reminders that go out on their own

Issue a gas safety record and the next service date is written against that property there and then. Eleven months later the reminder goes out in your words, from your number, and the job books itself back in.

  • The certificate is the trigger — nothing to set up
  • Email and SMS, done from the app on the job
  • 33% of reminders turn into jobs
Joblogic works from a recurring service set up against each site in advance, and their page notes that setup is desktop only.

Joblogic vs Gas Engineer Software: FAQs

Anything we haven't covered? Talk to our team.

What is the main difference between Joblogic and Gas Engineer Software?

Size and shape of business. Joblogic covers 30-plus industries and is built around contracts — planned maintenance, schedules of rates, subcontractor portals, stock control, the profit figure on every job. It's priced and structured for mid-size and larger teams.

Gas Engineer Software is built for UK heating and plumbing businesses and nothing else. If your week is jobs, certificates, services and invoices rather than contract reporting, that's the whole product here.

Does Joblogic do gas certificates?

Yes. Certificates aren't where the two differ.

The differences sit around the paperwork rather than in it. GES pairs with your analyser over Bluetooth, keeps 2,300+ boiler manuals with an AI assistant to search them, and puts gas rate and pipe sizing in the same app. Reminders are also automatically scheduled based on issued certificates updating the appliance service due date, tracked in GES.

Is Joblogic or GES more cost-effective for a heating & plumbing business?

For a small heating or plumbing business, GES. Joblogic's pricing page starts at £45 per user a month billed annually, with Premium and Enterprise quoted on request. GES is £18 to £31 per user a month on every plan, with no setup fee.

Does Joblogic tie you into a contract?

Joblogic say their most common terms are 24 or 36 months, with 12 months available if you'd prefer. That's normal for software at that end of the market, but it's worth knowing before you start rather than after.

GES is paid monhtly or annually with no minimum term, no setup fee, and you can add or drop users as the work changes.

Can I try both before deciding?

Joblogic run trials by request — you fill in a form and they set one up, on the Standard plan. There's a demo first if you want one.

GES you sign up for yourself: 14 days, every feature, no card details. Nothing stops you doing both at once, and a fortnight of real jobs through each is a better test than any demo.

How do service reminders compare?

Both end up sending the customer a reminder by email or SMS. They get there differently.

In Joblogic you set up a recurring service against the site or asset — a frequency, a last-completed date, then a First Reminder interval and an Appointment Gap — and it schedules forward from there. Their boiler servicing page notes that setup is only available in the desktop version.

In GES, issuing a certificate is the trigger. Issue a gas safety record and the next service date is written against that property automatically, with the reminder queued to go out before it falls due. Nothing to configure per property, and you can do it from the app while you're still on the job.
