How the switch works
2. Import your customers
Upload the file and Gaffer maps the columns for you, bringing every customer and contact across with their details intact.

4. Re-run safely
Made a change in Jobber after your first import? Re-run it — Gaffer matches existing records and updates them rather than creating duplicates.

What you actually get with Gaffer
Rather than tell you what Jobber does or does not do — their product, their roadmap — here is exactly what is in the box on our side, with the numbers. Every figure is what the platform ships today.
| Capability | In Gaffer | What that means on the job |
|---|---|---|

| Priced quote templates | 218 templates | Start from a real list of line items for the job in front of you rather than an empty quote. |
| Health & safety records | 39 features | Risk assessments, permits, statutory inspections, HAVS exposure, health surveillance — with review dates that surface before they lapse. |
| Accreditation guidance | 30 UK schemes | CHAS, Constructionline, NICEIC, ISO 9001 and more, each with its real requirements, evidence, cost and renewal period. |
| Public sector tendering | Live feed | Contract notices from the government’s Find a Tender service, filtered to your trades, with AI-assisted bid drafting. |
| Field app | 220+ screens | Offline-first throughout — lofts, plant rooms, rural sites. Captures on the device and syncs when signal returns. |
