Heating Plumbing Business/Back Office Systems

[Donna Martin]

Hi My husband has been running his heating/plumbing business for 5 years. He started up on his own and he is now at the stage of having 2 engineers working for him.
I help with the admin and invoicing and now my children are about to start school, I would like to take on more of the business side of things to take the pressure of my husband.
My questions is; what software or database/back office system do people use?
We use sage one for invoicing which is fine but I really need a database to work with that will allow me to do more than invoices. Maybe something that can do reminders, gas safety certificates, promotions etc
Also we use paper job sheets for the engineers BUT I am sure there must be a system that allows the engineers to input and access the information online/remotely??
Basically I need help to set up the 'business side of the business'!
Many thanks

I use "Gas Engineer Software", it invoices reminds gives job sheets electronically. I would highly recommend it. you may want to call them regarding multiple users for advice.
