Already running something

You are already paying for four of these

Almost nobody we talk to has nothing. They have a jobs app, an accounting app, a booking link, a spreadsheet and a phone, and they still write a number on their hand. This page is about that, and about what we do with it.

Where it actually stands

Six logins, and you are the thing joining them up

Each one was bought in a year when it solved the thing that hurt most, and none of them were ever told the others exist. So the joining up is done by a person, every day, by hand.

First, the honest part

Those are good products

Nobody gets called a scam here. We will tell you straight if one of them is already the right answer for you.

Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan are real software, built by real teams, and for a lot of businesses they are the right answer. If yours is one of them we will say so on the call and you will have spent twenty minutes.

They are built to fit every trade in every country. That is exactly why they cannot be shaped like your business, not a flaw, just what a product for everybody has to be. It only becomes a problem when the shape of your week and the shape of the software stop matching.

Then the rest of it

Four things none of them do

True of any product built for everybody, and none of it is fixed by paying for a higher tier.

None of them know your companyTheir call answering and text back is the same script for every customer of theirs. Yours reads the history, knows the address, routes to the right person, and hands to a human the moment one is needed.
You pay for every person, every monthThe bill is a function of how many people you employ. Take on two in spring and the software gets more expensive, whether or not it does anything new.
You own none of itThe customer list, the job history, the photos and the notes live inside somebody else's account. Leaving means exporting a spreadsheet and starting the relationship again.
It is shaped like the average businessSo the crew learns its way of doing things instead of yours, and the parts that do not fit end up in the spreadsheet, which is how the spreadsheet got there.

Two ways to go

Keep what works, or replace the lot

Both are real answers and we have no preference. The right one depends on how much of what you run you actually like.

Keep what works

The smaller job

Some of it is fine and you like it. We leave it exactly where it is, build the pieces nobody covers, and wire them together so a job entered once is entered once.

Stays
Whatever you are happy with, doing what it does now.
Gets built
The missing parts, usually the phone, the chasing, and the one screen you can actually read.
Gets wired
So the same job does not get typed into three places.
Costs
Less to build, because less is being built.

Replace the lot

The bigger job

One thing, shaped like the way the business already runs, that you own outright. This is usually where a business lands a year after the first one.

Stays
Your data. We move it across before anything is switched off.
Gets built
The whole operation on one screen, in stages, so something useful is live early.
Gets wired
Whatever you still want on the outside, the bank, the books, the calendar.
Costs
More to build, and then it is yours and the per-person bills stop.

Wiring it in

If it has a way in, we can connect to it

These are the ones people ask about, and every one of them has a documented way in. Whether your account will hand over everything we want is a five minute check on the call, and we tell you before you have paid for anything.

Every name above belongs to the company that owns it. They are here because people ask about them, not because we are affiliated with any of them, and none of them have anything to do with us.

Asked most

What owners ask before they switch

Is this cheaper than what I pay now?
It depends entirely on what you keep and what gets built, so the honest answer is that it is a conversation on the call. What we can say without knowing your business: it is one bill instead of several, and it does not go up because you hired somebody.
What happens to my data if I leave you?
You take it. The site, the software, the data and the domain are yours, and that is true from the first day, not after some term is up. Nothing we build depends on you being unable to leave.

Bring a list of what you pay for and we will go through it

Twenty minutes. We will tell you which of it is worth keeping, which of it we would wire together, and which of it you are paying for twice.
