What are the payment processing fees?
Sergio uses Stripe for payment processing. Standard rates are 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction for credit cards and 0.8% (capped at $5) for ACH/bank transfers. These fees are industry standard and go directly to Stripe—we don't mark them up. You keep the rest.

Professional plan: 500 SMS messages/month included. If you consistently need more, upgrade to Business for unlimited SMS.

We don't sell add-on packages. Just simple upgrade paths to the right tier for your needs.

Features
What features are available on each plan?
Features are tiered based on plan:
- All plans: CRM, scheduling, invoicing, customer portal, mobile app
- Professional+: Route optimization, GPS tracking, payment processing, QuickBooks
- Business+: Review automation, analytics, API access, unlimited SMS
- Enterprise: White-label, SSO, dedicated support, SLA guarantees
Do you offer route optimization?
Yes! Route optimization is included in Professional, Business, and Enterprise plans. Most competitors charge $50-100/month extra for this feature.
Can customers book online?
Yes! Your customers can request quotes, book services, and view their service history through a professional branded portal. This is included in all plans.
Do you support multiple languages?
Yes! Sergio is available in 12+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more.
Does the mobile app work offline?
Yes! The iOS app is built with offline-first architecture. You can view schedules, customer details, create invoices, and log completed jobs even without cell service. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online. This is critical when you're 30 feet up on a ladder with spotty signal. Full offline functionality is available on Professional, Business, and Enterprise plans. Basic plan includes view-only mobile access.
How does weather integration work?
Sergio checks the 14-day forecast for your service areas daily. When rain is predicted, the system flags at-risk jobs 3+ days in advance and sends you alerts. You can then proactively contact customers to reschedule (customers appreciate the heads-up vs. day-of cancellations). One-click reschedule moves jobs to the next available slot in the same geographic zone. Available on all plans.
How does QuickBooks integration work?
Sergio offers two-way sync with QuickBooks Online. Customers, invoices, and payments sync automatically—no manual data entry. When you create an invoice in Sergio, it appears in QuickBooks. When a payment is received, both systems update. This eliminates double-entry bookkeeping and keeps your accounting accurate. Available on Professional, Business, and Enterprise plans.
Can I set team permissions and roles?
Yes! You can assign different permission levels: Admin (full access), Manager (can't access billing/settings), Crew Lead (can manage assigned jobs), and Crew Member (view-only for their assigned jobs). This keeps your data secure and prevents accidental changes by field staff. Advanced role permissions available on Business and Enterprise plans.
What is review automation?
Review automation (Business+ plans) automatically sends review requests to customers after job completion. This helps you build your Google rating and social proof without manual follow-up. Most businesses see 2-3x more reviews within the first month of activation.
Do you offer API access?
Yes! API access is available on Business and Enterprise plans. Our RESTful API includes comprehensive documentation, webhook support, and rate limiting controls. Use it to integrate Sergio with your existing tools and workflows.
Security & Privacy
Is my data secure?
Yes! All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We use Supabase (built on PostgreSQL) for database hosting with automatic backups. Note: Sergio is currently in beta - we do not guarantee 100% uptime but are committed to rapid issue resolution.
Who can access my data?
Only you and your team members. We never sell or share your data with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.
Do you comply with privacy regulations?
Yes! Sergio is PIPEDA compliant for operations in North America (Canada and USA). You have full control over your data and can export or delete it at any time. Enterprise plans include additional compliance documentation (SOC 2).
Can I export my data if I decide to leave?
Absolutely! You can export all your data (customers, jobs, invoices, payments, notes) as CSV files at any time from Settings > Data Export. No vendor lock-in, no hassle. Your data is yours—we're just the software helping you manage it. If you need help migrating to another platform, email [email protected] and we'll assist.
What security features are available for Enterprise?
Enterprise plans include: Single Sign-On (SSO), SAML authentication, advanced user permissions, audit logging, SOC 2 compliance documentation, and dedicated database instances for complete data control.

Can I switch from Jobber or Housecall Pro to Sergio?
Yes! The migration process takes 1-2 weeks. Export your customer list, invoices, and service history as CSV from your current platform (they're legally required to provide it). Import to Sergio via Settings > Import Data. Run both systems in parallel for 2 weeks to ensure smooth transition. Notify customers about the new portal, train your team (1-2 hours), then cancel your old subscription. Most users save 50-60% on software costs after switching. Need help? Email [email protected] for migration assistance.
