The whole system
Everything a handyman business needs. Tailored to your business, not handed to you in a box.
01
Run the business
Organize: because you can finally see the whole thing on one page.
Pipeline
Every inquiry, estimate, job and follow-up on ONE page. Nothing falls through the cracks because there are no cracks.
KPI dashboard
Total sales, average ticket, outstanding invoices, revenue forecast, repeat-customer rate, sales and revenue by tech, estimate accuracy — the numbers a handyman actually needs, pre-configured.
Schedule
Drag-and-drop jobs, estimates and events by tech. Conflicts flagged before they become a no-show.
Contact database
Customers, applicants, contractors, employees and vendors in one place, every detail one click away.
Estimate vs. reality
Automatic time tracking tells you if the job ran long or the quote was off. Tracked per job, per tech, without a stopwatch.
Deep analysis reporting
Know what your most profitable work is, automatically. Profit and margin per job, per product, per category, with the low-margin stuff flagged for you.
Feature voting
You get to make suggestions and drive the features you want to see. Owners vote, we build the top of the list, and you watch it ship.
02
Win the work
Create: turn inquiries into booked jobs, priced right in two clicks, every time.
Smart estimate builder
Walks you through the estimate so you land on the right scope and the right number. Backed by a massive database of handyman jobs and materials.
450+ canned jobs
The jobs every handyman does over and over, with professional descriptions and the materials they take. One click adds a job to an estimate.
Pricing matrix
Set the margin you need once. The matrix marks up every material automatically so the profit is in the quote before you send it.
Products database
Commonly used products and supplies with pricing and descriptions, added to an estimate in seconds.
Profit analyzer
See your EXACT profit before the estimate goes out, then watch actual time and materials land against it.
03
Get paid
Automate: invoices, deposits and payments that run themselves.
One-click invoices
Send the invoice from the job. Customers pay online by card, ACH or whatever you turn on.
Recurring billing (VIP)
Put maintenance customers on autopay. Get paid every month, on time, in full.
Deposits and approvals
Customers approve estimates and pay deposits on their phone. The job is booked before you hang up.
QuickBooks sync
Invoices, payments and categories sync to QuickBooks automatically. Your bookkeeper will stop calling.
Payroll and equipment
Hours and pay rates tracked for payroll and profit analysis (Gusto connection coming soon), and equipment purchases tracked for tax time without a shoebox.
04
Talk to customers
One number. One thread. Everyone on the same page.
Built-in phone system
Calls, texts, voicemail with automatic transcripts, missed-call auto-replies — all from YOUR business number, whether it is you, the office or a tech answering.
Every conversation in one place
Voice, SMS and email sorted by customer, so anyone on your staff can pick up where the last person left off.
Campaigns
Automatic email and SMS campaigns for new business, repeat business and follow-ups. Set it once; it runs while you work.
Customer portal
Customers see their invoices, jobs and estimates, and keep a to-do list for you. When the list gets long enough, you get the alert.
Automated templates
On my way is two taps. Tap for directions, tap once more, and the customer gets a text with your ETA calculated from GPS distance. Appointment reminders, estimate follow-ups, review requests, job-complete notes: a whole mess of templates, all automatic, all from your number.
Send your vCard
Two taps sends a customer your full contact card with your service list, so you are in their phone before you leave the driveway.
Customer notes
The gate code, the dog, the way she likes the trim caulked — remembered for you, every visit.
05
Run the crew
A mobile app that does not suck.
Mobile app, iOS and Android
Today's jobs, directions, notes, calls, texts, estimates and time clock on the phone. Techs see what they need and nothing they don't.
Barcode scanning
Scan a receipt or a shelf tag and it is on the customer's job. Never re-type a material again.
Truck stock
Know exactly what the caulk, screws, mud and tape are costing you, and bill them in one click instead of eating them.
Inventory and labels
Simple inventory with printable labels you make from the app in two seconds.
Time tracking per tech
Clock in, clock out, done. Productivity by hours versus pay, without anyone filling out a sheet.
Automated tech tracking
Know who on your team is kicking butt and who needs some help. Live status, hours, jobs and billed-per-tech, with no timesheets.
06
Get found
Dominate: the website and the marketing run themselves, and the reviews pile up.
Website lead capture
A lead form that does not suck. Every lead is tagged with where it came from the moment it lands: your website, a Google or Facebook ad, a referral. Nobody types a thing.
Project showcase
Before, during and after photos resized, oriented, labeled and published to your website in one click.
Automated SEO
By giving your project showcase common search terms that people are looking for (LED lighting, toilet replacement, fan replacement, etc.), your website will start to rank for searches automatically, just by doing the work and using our system to instantly publish what you are doing.
Google reviews
New reviews post to your website automatically as they come in.
Automated branding
Upload a logo and the system pulls your colors and brands every email, estimate and invoice. No logo? We walk you through getting one for a few dollars.
Marketing measured in dollars
Every ad link and lead source is followed all the way to the paid invoice. See the revenue each campaign actually brought in, not the clicks, and stop paying for the ones that bring nothing.
Automatic referral tracking
Know where your best customers are coming from. Every referral is tracked to the person who sent it, with the revenue they brought you.
Built for the owner. Easy for the crew. Painless for the customer.
