Markate
Run your entire field service business on one platform
About Markate
Markate is a field service management and CRM platform for home service businesses that combines leads, estimates, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, payments, and employee tracking in one web and mobile app. Pricing is a flat base fee for the owner plus $5 per additional employee, which keeps it cheaper than per-tier competitors for small crews. Founded in 2015 and based in Scottsdale, Arizona, it says it serves over 25,000 home service pros.
