A POWERED NOW ALTERNATIVE
What makes GES better for heating & plumbing businesses?
-
1
A specialist, not generalist
Generalised job management software companies like Powered Now divide their focus among industries, leaving you to adapt it to your business.
At GES, we focus all our resources on heating & plumbing work.
-
2
Pay for the features you'll actually use
Generalised software will have features you’ll never use and complicate the app. GES has a range of additional heating-specific tools.
Pay for what you need — not what an electrician, builder, or landscaping business will use.

“The beauty of Gas Engineer Software is it’s tailored to our industry“
“We originally tried other different software I’ve used in previous employment – other software which didn’t have all the functionality. It wasn’t as cost effective and it wasn’t tailored to our industry. The beauty of Gas Engineer Software is it’s tailored to our industry and is tailored towards what we do as a business and what we strive towards.”

FOR HEATING & PLUMBING BUSINESSES
Everything you need to run your business — nothing more.
Powered Now has a great range of features, but many are for other industries.
Gas Engineer Software provides you with a collection of useful features that work together seamlessly and help you from the first call to invoice paid — and even after.
TOOLS & MANUALS
Gas rating, pipe sizing, and boiler manuals
Gas engineers using Powered Now will be used to switching apps when they need to gas rate, pipe size, or reference a manual.
Niche feature for the heating trades, but incredibly useful for engineers out there in the field.
GAS CERTIFICATES
Save time filling out gas certificates
Powered Now has a range of gas certificates, but gates them behind their professional plan and treats them as a bolt-on solution.
Gas Engineer Software makes them available on all plans and centres the entire workflow around the job. Quickly select appliances from a menu, scan boiler serial numbers, and pull readings (and a timestamped report) from your flue gas analyser.
ACCOUNTING
Connect to your preferred accounting platform
Powered Now only offers integration with Xero, which can make things a little more difficult if you prefer other accounting platforms.
Gas Engineer Software is more versailte by offering integrations with Quickbooks and Sage as well as Xero.
EASE OF USE
Get up to speed with the software in minutes
While well designed, menus in Powered Now are filled with options relevant for other industries.
Gas Engineer Software is able to keep things as simple as possible by only providing what’s relevant to the heating industry. A great UK-based support team is also available Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm to help with any questions.
Make your job easier with
Gas Engineer Software
Efficient quoting, scheduling & certificates. All in one place.
GES helps you manage your heating & plumbing business and save hours each week on admin and paperwork.
