Question 9

Is my data safe? Does LekkerJob comply with POPIA?

Question 10

What trades does LekkerJob support?

Accepted Answer

LekkerJob is used by plumbers, electricians, builders and general contractors, painters, HVAC and aircon technicians, and landscapers across South Africa. The core workflow — job, photos, signature, time, invoice — is generic enough to cover most service trades.

Question 11

Can I get a client to sign off on a job on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LekkerJob has a built-in signature pad: the client signs with their finger on your phone or tablet, and the signature is saved to the job card alongside photos, notes, and time entries.

Question 12

Can I share a job link with a customer without them logging in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every job has a shareable link you can WhatsApp or email to the customer. They see job status, progress photos, signatures, and invoices in a read-only view without signing up.
