Why Connect ServiceM8 to Wave?

ServiceM8 uses a REST + Webhook API while Wave uses REST, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Job scheduling in ServiceM8 and invoicing in Wave are disconnected, delaying payments for completed work

Invoice and payment data is re-entered between ServiceM8 and Wave manually, doubling the work and risking GST errors at month-end

Patient appointment data in ServiceM8 and billing records in Wave require double entry, risking compliance issues

Reporting across ServiceM8 and Wave requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

No single source of truth when contacts live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information
