Home Services & Trades
Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and roofing companies where the schedule is the business.
The context
How home services & trades usually runs
In a trades business, the calendar is the product. Every hour a truck sits idle is margin you do not get back, and every job booked wrong costs you twice: once in the drive time and again in the callback.
Most of the shops we walk into are running a field service platform they only use a third of, a separate spreadsheet for job costing, and a whiteboard that is the actual source of truth. Nobody planned that. It accumulated as the business grew faster than the systems did.
Our work here is rarely about replacing the whole stack. It is about closing the gaps between the tools you already pay for, so a job booked in one place shows up everywhere it needs to without anyone retyping it.
The shift
What we find, and what we build instead
What we usually find
What we build
Jobs booked across phone, text, and paper with no single source of truth
Dispatch and scheduling systems built around how your crews actually run
Techs entering the same job details twice, once in the field and once in the office
Automated customer confirmations, reminders, and on-my-way notifications
No reliable view of what each crew or job type actually costs you
Job costing and margin reporting that updates without a monthly spreadsheet session
After-hours calls going to voicemail and never getting called back
After-hours intake that captures the lead instead of losing it
Quotes and change orders living in text threads
Field-to-office data flow so nothing gets entered twice
The workflow
Where the work actually moves
These are the points in the operation where information gets lost, duplicated, or delayed. They are also where the return is highest.
- 01
Intake and booking
Calls, forms, and after-hours requests land in one queue with the information you actually need to schedule the work. No more piecing a job together from three voicemails.
- 02
Dispatch and routing
Assign work based on skill, location, and the reality of the day rather than whoever answers the radio first.
- 03
Field execution
Techs get the job detail on their phone and capture what happened once. That record flows straight to invoicing and job costing.
- 04
Close-out and reporting
Invoicing, follow-up, and margin reporting happen off the same record, so the numbers agree without reconciliation.
