Regina-built field-service management — a Canadian-made FSM born from a plumbing shop

A Canadian-built FSM platform from Regina, Saskatchewan (vendor Jobbox Software), created when the founders couldn’t find software to run a plumbing company’s work orders. It grew out of HVAC into a full quoting → work-order → scheduling → invoicing → timesheets suite, with early backing from Canadian government innovation programs — a genuinely Canada-origin story with no competing US identity.

Pros

• + Canadian-built (Regina) with no US-first dilution — true CA-native FSM
• + Covers HVAC/plumbing/electrical/commercial/industrial/fire
• + Transparent per-user pricing, month-to-month, easy cancel
• + Backed early by Canadian government innovation programs

Cons

• − Smaller brand/scale than Jobber or ServiceTitan
• − Pricing publicly listed in USD (CAD not posted)
• − Standard plan has a 6-user minimum
• − Fewer third-party integrations than the global leaders
