Canadian contractors use Zoho CRM for leads and estimates, Zoho Creator or Projects for jobs, crews and change orders, and Zoho Books for progress billing, holdbacks and GST/HST. Trades already on Jobber can connect it to Zoho CRM. With Flowpeak, Zoho CRM setup starts from CAD 700 and Jobber integration from CAD 450.

General contractors, renovators, electricians, plumbers and HVAC companies across Canada lose money in the gaps between the estimate, the job and the invoice. Zoho closes those gaps when the apps share one set of data.
