    If you have regular clients – businesses, housing associations, or private customers – who need ongoing inspections, repairs, or maintenance, you probably already have service agreements. But do you have control over when your next visit is? Do you have an overview of which customers have agreements – and what's included? Are all hours and materials invoiced correctly? Too many contractors lose money and time because service agreements are managed in notebooks, Excel sheets, or old emails.

    Why Service Agreements Are Gold for Contractors

    With Bidmio, service agreements are scheduled automatically, executed via app, and invoiced with one click.

    • 🗓️ Scheduled automatically
    • 📲 Executed via app
    • 💰 Invoiced with one click

    What Is a Service Agreement?

    A service agreement is a recurring contract between you and the customer, where you perform maintenance, inspection, or service at fixed intervals – for example monthly, quarterly, or annually.

    Examples:

    Service agreements create stable revenue and customer loyalty. But only if you have control over scheduling – and invoicing happens automatically.

    Digital Service Agreement Management in Bidmio

    Bidmio combines planning, execution, and invoicing in one system. You create a service agreement once – then it runs automatically.

    1

    1. Create the Service Agreement

    Enter customer and location, which tasks to perform, interval (e.g., every 3 months), employees and checklists, fixed price or hourly rate. The system automatically schedules future visits and places them in the calendar.

    2

    2. Execute the Work

    When the date approaches, the technician gets a notification on mobile. They open the job, complete the checklist, take photos, and get the customer's signature. All information is automatically collected in the system.

    3. Invoice Automatically

    When the work is completed, the invoice is generated automatically – ready for sending or export to e-conomic/Dinero. If the agreement has a fixed price, it's invoiced automatically on the right date.
