ServiceTitan is thrilled to introduce new, advanced editing and filtering tools that make managing your pricebook a snap. In addition, we’ve added the long-awaited Electrical Category pricebook as well as new HVAC General Equipment content for Pricebook Pro users.

Faster, More Efficient Ways to Edit Your Pricebook

New updates for your pricebook make it completely editable, saving you the time and hassle of exporting, editing, and re-uploading it when you need to make changes. 

The intuitive new inline editor lets you edit services, materials or equipment by simply hovering over content, clicking, and making changes as needed. 

In addition, advanced filtering now lets you narrow down search results, so you can quickly find and edit only what’s needed. Here are just a few examples of what you can do:

  • Search for a service by category, name or description. You can even search by whether or not it has upgrades or recommendations.

  • Search for materials by category, primary vendor, cost, or by whether or not it has a linked image or video.

  • Search for equipment by media, price, account, or by cross-sale group.

Lastly, you can now edit content for multiple services, materials or equipment at once by using the new bulk editing feature. Do this by selecting the items in your pricebook that you want to edit. From there, you can:

  • Add or remove images 

  • Add or remove a category

  • Add or replace item descriptions

  • Add or remove a primary vendor

  • Add or remove time increments to all items selected

  • Increase, decrease, or set price as by a flat amount or percentage

For example, say your plumbing business is seeing some thin margins in the bathroom category, and you want to make some pricebook changes to improve them. Here are some steps you might consider taking:

  1. Filter down to only your bathroom category in your pricebook. 

  2. Increase your pricing by a percentage across the board on all services in that category.

  3. Edit item descriptions so they’re more clear. 

  4. Add images or videos to services or equipment to make them more appealing to a customer.

Advanced filtering and bulk editing help you do this in a fraction of the time it would take you to export your pricebook, make changes, and re-upload it. You’ll not only save time by locating and editing items quickly and easily — you’ll also improve your pricebook as a whole and impress your customers with a better experience.

Based on meticulous research, industry best practices, and customer feedback, electrical service items include detailed descriptions, images, sold hours, upgrades, recommendations, and attached materials.

General Equipment (HVAC only)

The prices you want to charge may affect what type of equipment or accessories you use on a job. It can also affect whether or not you replace an entire system in addition to everything it touches or simply perform a retrofit. Regardless of which way you choose to go, you can be sure of one thing — you’re going to need a piece of equipment.

To that end, we’ve created a new generic equipment book that gives you the flexibility to customize installation packages with your own specific costs, materials and sold hours to suit your business’s unique needs. This allows your sales staff to present attractive, eye-catching equipment options to customers while maintaining margin and job costing accuracy on the back end. Your technicians also benefit from better organization that makes it easier to select options to add to invoices or estimates they’re presenting.

The new HVAC General Equipment category includes generic equipment used in installations of the following: 

  • Air conditioners

  • Gas furnaces

  • Heat pumps

  • Air handlers

  • Electric heating

  • Hydronic & steam boilers

  • Ductless heat pump & A/C systems
