In the world of property maintenance, jobs rarely follow a simple path. They often unfold in stages, involve multiple teams, or require a variety of specialist tasks, each with its own timeline and priorities. That’s where the Job Splitting feature in MARKUS makes all the difference. By dividing a single job into clearly defined works orders, you can bring structure to complexity, ensuring every task is assigned, tracked, and completed with precision.
Job Splitting allows you to take a single job and break it into multiple, manageable works orders, each representing a specific part of the overall task. It’s a smarter way to delegate responsibilities, track progress, and keep every moving part on schedule — without ever losing sight of the bigger picture.
This feature offers complete flexibility. You can break down jobs by task, trade, or however your business operates best. Each works order can be assigned to the right engineer or subcontractor with clear timelines and responsibilities, reducing confusion and overlap. Because everything stays linked to the main job, you maintain a central view of all visits, costs, and progress in one place.
By splitting work to match team availability and capacity, you avoid bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. It’s a simple but powerful way to manage resources more effectively and deliver a better experience for both your team and your clients.
When it comes to complex jobs, success often comes down to the details — knowing who’s doing what, when, and how it all connects. With Job Splitting, you give your team the clarity they need, keep projects running smoothly, and keep your customers happy with efficient, timely delivery.
The Job Splitting feature is now available in MARKUS for all eligible users. If you’re already using the system, try it out on your next multi-part job. And if you’re new to MARKUS, this is just one of the many ways we’re helping modern businesses take control of job management.
