JobNimbus is a CRM built for roofing & restoration. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with MEPSub — the all-in-one platform built by an MEP/HVAC contractor to run both your project and field-service work.
MEPSub is priced in the open and far cheaper, with real MEP construction PM (submittals & takeoffs), multi-tech dispatch and a customer portal JobNimbus doesn't have.
