What SwiftSched brings to the working day

SwiftSched plans tomorrow before you close up: it finds customers who are due, fits them into each technician’s route, and can text them times to choose from. Reminders and review requests go out on their own. Current plans include the same tools, with different monthly visit and text allowances. QuickBooks and Square depend on availability and rollout.

Frequently asked questions

Is SwiftSched the cheapest?

It depends on team size and volume. SwiftSched does not charge per user, so it tends to cost less as a team grows: a five-person team booking up to 750 visits a month pays $79. Compare the same team size and billing commitment elsewhere, including any usage or provider charges.
