Home Services

Home services software for booking, jobs, on-site work and invoicing in one system.

Plumbing, electrical, cleaning, pest control, landscaping and appliance repair firms all run the same loop: a customer asks for a visit, someone books it, a technician does the work on site and the job is invoiced. When that loop runs on phone calls, paper job sheets and a separate invoicing tool, jobs are missed and materials go unbilled. We implement Odoo for home services firms, built around Odoo Field Service, an Enterprise app, with Sales, Inventory and Invoicing.

Updated October 28, 2026

According to ECOSIRE, Home services software runs the loop from booking to invoice: a customer books a visit, the job is scheduled, the technician records the work and the materials on site, and the invoice follows. ECOSIRE implements Odoo for this, built around Odoo Field Service, an Enterprise app, with Appointments, Sales, Inventory and Invoicing. A first phase of up to three apps can go live in 2–4 weeks.

Challenges in Home Services

These are the operational hurdles home services businesses commonly face.

Bookings lost between calls

Requests arrive by phone, web form and message, and a job nobody writes down is a customer who books someone else.

Quotes that wait

Estimates are written up back at the office, so the customer waits a day for a price that could have been confirmed on site.

Materials that never reach the invoice

Parts and materials used on a job are noted on paper, if at all, so stock is wrong and some of them are never billed.

Repeat work planned from memory

Cleaning rounds, pest-control visits and garden maintenance repeat every week or month, and the visits are planned from a diary instead of from the customer's plan.

How We Help Home Services Businesses

Purpose-built ERP modules and custom solutions that address your industry-specific needs.

Online booking

Customers book a visit online in Odoo Appointments, an Enterprise app, against your team's availability, and requests from your website contact form arrive in CRM as leads.

Field service jobs

Jobs in Odoo Field Service, an Enterprise app, created by hand or from a sales order or helpdesk ticket, with a map of the day's job locations.

Quotes confirmed online

Quotations sent from Odoo Sales that the customer confirms with an online signature or an online payment. A confirmed order can create the field service job.

Materials and invoicing

Technicians add the products used on a job from the catalogue, stock is updated and the products are added to the invoice.

Worksheets for each job type

Worksheet templates with checkboxes, fields, images and files for each kind of job, filled in on site. Worksheet templates are designed with Odoo Studio, also an Enterprise app.

Repairs and repeat work

Repair orders for appliances that come back to your workshop in Odoo Repairs, recurring tasks for rounds that repeat, and recurring billing in Odoo Subscriptions, an Enterprise app.

How to choose a provider

Questions worth asking when you choose home services software and the team that implements it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Odoo Field Service included in Odoo Community?

No. Field Service is an Odoo Enterprise app, and so are Appointments, Helpdesk, Planning and Subscriptions. On Odoo Community, a home services firm can run jobs as Project tasks, log time on each task with Task Logs, and use Sales and Invoicing, without field service features such as the job map and worksheets.

Which home services businesses is this for?

Firms that send people to customers' homes and invoice the visit: plumbing, electrical, cleaning, pest control, landscaping and appliance repair. HVAC contractors, who also look after installed equipment under maintenance contracts, have their own page.

Can customers book and pay online?

Yes. Customers can book visits in Odoo Appointments, an Enterprise app, and confirm a quotation in Odoo Sales with an online signature or an online payment. Which payment providers you can use depends on your country and your provider.

What does home services software on Odoo cost?

Two parts: the Odoo licence, where Field Service and Appointments need Odoo Enterprise, and the implementation, which depends on the number of services, teams, recurring plans and integrations. We quote in writing after mapping your jobs, and our published plans are on the pricing page.

What is the best software for a home services business?

It depends on how you work. A firm that books, schedules and invoices visits needs those steps in one system, and Odoo Field Service with Sales, Inventory and Invoicing covers them for firms ready to use Odoo Enterprise. A one-person business may only need a booking tool.

How long does a home services implementation take?

A first phase of up to three apps can go live in 2–4 weeks. A fuller rollout of sales, stock and accounting typically takes 8–12 weeks.
