Home & field services

Every crew working the same job.

A Tuesday at 10:15. Three trades in one house, a van in the driveway, and an office that already knows what the job has made so far. Twelve marks show the systems doing the work — from the estimate to the payment to the shop where it all adds up.

Back office

The part that decides whether a busy week was worth it.

Every estimate, clock-in, part and payment lands on the job it belongs to. You know what a job made the day it closes, not when the accountant gets to it.

Down from 23 in March

  • Paid before the van leaves. A card taken on site or a link tapped from the driveway clears the same day, instead of an invoice waiting in a mailbox.
  • Deposits before materials. Special-order flooring and equipment are paid for up front, so the job isn’t financed out of your account.
  • Margin by job, not by guess. Crew hours and parts cost against the job as they happen, then compared with what was quoted.
  • What the fees really cost. Card fees on a large ticket add up fast; surcharging, cash-discount pricing or a bank-transfer link can bring them down where the rules allow it.

How it fits

Four ways in. One way through.

A job booked online and a job that came from a yard sign are the same job by the time it reaches the board — and the same line on the P&L when it closes.

Fit

Built for the trade you actually run.

Same platform, different defaults. What changes is how you quote, when you bill, and what the tech needs on the phone.

Painting

Quote by room

Good/better/best by room and finish, a deposit before paint is ordered, crew clock-in by job, and before-and-after photos at the walkthrough.

HVAC

Plans and service calls

Maintenance agreements billed to a card on file, equipment history by address, after-hours booking, and service calls paid at the unit.

Flooring

Measure to install

Estimates from the measure, deposits on special-order material, and progress billing room by room.

Contractors & remodelers

Projects in stages

Project tracking with completion percentages, change orders approved in the customer portal, and billing at each draw.

Solar

Large tickets, long jobs

Milestone billing on permit, install and inspection, bank transfers for the big payments, and a clear record of every deposit.

Questions

The ones contractors actually ask.

Can my crew take payment without calling the office?

Yes. The tech takes a card on the reader paired to their phone, or sends a payment link if the homeowner isn’t home. The office sees it the moment it clears.

Can I pass card fees on to the customer?

Often, yes. The card networks allow surcharging on credit cards, not debit, with disclosure and a cap, and some states add their own rules. Cash-discount pricing is another route. We check what applies to you before anything is switched on.

What about customers who still pay by check?

Send the invoice with a bank-transfer option. It costs less than a card, arrives faster than a check in the mail, and nobody has to drive it to the bank.

Do I have to replace my scheduling software?

No. Most contractors start with payments and invoicing, because that’s where the money is stuck. Scheduling and dispatch can come later, or stay where they are.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Invoices and payments sync, so the books match the jobs without anyone re-typing them.

How do maintenance agreements bill?

The plan charges the card on file on its schedule, books the visits, and keeps the equipment history for that address. The customer gets a receipt; you get recurring revenue that carries the slow months.
