Using Evernote for job tracking and history

I use the Evernote app to keep track of all customer communications, which is something I learned from Leon Yoder of Shipshewana, Illinois, who was featured in the November/December 2014 issue of SignCraft. You simply create a note for the job and enter all the relevant information. You can also attach files to the note. When you refer back to the job, everything you need is there.

This program works on Macs, PCs, tablets and smartphones and synchronizes between them. If you have multiple users, you can designate who shares the files. Evernote backs up your files to the cloud, and I also back up all files on an external drive. Evernote Basic is free, and you can upgrade to Evernote Premium to get extra features.
