I can only answer your question about Jobber. We switched to jobber from Knowify because it was so much better at handling last minute schedule changes. It’s very easy to relocate tasks or jobs in the calendar with desktop or the mobile app. We even have our technicians create new unexpected jobs and schedule them into their calendar in the field in order to make sure they’re properly tracked.

&lt;p&gt;It would be great to hear how these tools perform in offline mode or low-connectivity areas&lt;/p&gt;

With jobber if you save or edit any information they will remain on your device until you reestablish a connection and then they will live update automatically
