Entering in your company’s products and services is vital. Once you have completed this step, every item you’ve entered will be available to select whenever you’re creating work orders. Typing this information in once saves you the trouble of re-entering it every time you write up an invoice, so we recommend this step be completed during your initial setup.

If you choose to integrate your ServiceMonster and QuickBooks accounts, your products and services data will be synced between the two, saving you the trouble of double data-entry. This information can be imported into your account as well, if you provided ServiceMonster with the data.
