Light up the season, booked and billed
A whole year's work lands in a few short weeks. Field 2 Service quotes each display, takes a deposit on the job, packs the peak weeks with installs and takedowns, keeps every property's design on file and rebooks it next Christmas (Essentials and up).

Sound like your season?
The lights business is a sprint — most of the money, and most of the chaos, is squeezed into six weeks.
A year's work in six weeks
Every install wants the same fortnight in November. Pack the peak weeks on a paper diary and you'll double-book a crew or drop a booking you took in July.
Takedowns forgotten
The install gets done; the January takedown gets forgotten until the customer rings. Every removal is a booked job too — and money you're leaving on the roof.
Reinventing every display
You worked out the perfect layout for that house last year — clips, runs, timer settings — and it's all in your head. This year you're guessing from scratch.
Quote the display, take a job deposit before you buy the lights
Price the display from your price book (Essentials and up) — light runs, clips, timers, ridge and tree work, install and takedown labour. Take a deposit on the job up front so you're not funding a season of stock, and let the customer accept online. The accepted quote becomes the booked install.
- Price book for light runs, fixings and labour
- Deposits on the job, applied automatically
- Online acceptance with expiry tracking on every quote
Pack the install weeks — and the January takedowns
Book every install and every takedown onto the calendar and assign crews on the drag-and-drop dispatch board (Professional and up). The double-booking check stops two jobs landing on one team in the busiest fortnight of your year, and an "on my way" text (Essentials and up, via your own Twilio account) keeps the customer in when you arrive.
- Installs and takedowns both scheduled on the board
- Double-booking conflict checks across crews
- "On my way" texts before the crew arrives
Last year's design, ready before you climb the ladder
Keep each property's layout on file — the runs, the fixing points, the timer settings, the ladder and access notes — with photos of the finished display. Next season the crew works from last year's plan instead of guessing, and a customer with several properties keeps each one as its own address.
- Per-property design notes and finished-display photos
- Multi-site customers with per-site access notes
- Everything filed against the property for next year
Invoice on install day, paid before December's out
Tap complete and send a VAT-smart invoice with a card-payment link (Essentials and up; connect your own Stripe or PayPal) — the deposit's already deducted. Not VAT-registered? One clean price, no tax lines. Automatic reminders chase anything unpaid so you're not carrying a customer's lights into the new year, and the aged-debtors view shows who's behind.
- Card payment links via Stripe or PayPal
- VAT-smart, or a single clean price if you're not registered
- Automatic overdue reminders and an aged-debtors view
Rebook the whole street before the decorations are down
Set a display to repeat (Essentials and up) and next year's job is waiting in the diary — no cold start every November. Ask every happy customer for a review (Essentials and up) once the lights go on, steer them to your public listing, and quietly route any concern to you first.
- Recurring jobs rebook a property year after year
- Automatic review requests once the display is up
- Reputation funnel — happy customers to public reviews
