For contractors doing $500k to $5m

It replaces the office manager. Not the scheduling app.

It does the office work, not the scheduling. Quotes go out the same day. Invoices go out when the job closes, not when someone gets to it. The money that is late gets chased without you asking. And the sales tax is worked out before a state writes to you about it.

What an office manager actually costs

$52,000

A full-time office manager, before payroll tax, benefits or the week they are on holiday.

$11,988

This, for a year. $999 to set it up and $999 a month after that.

Neither

Does the work on its own. The difference is one of them does not need managing.

The $52,000 is a median for the role in the US and will be wrong for your market by a few thousand either way. Put your own number into the calculator and it will tell you the truth about your business rather than about the average one.

The four things it does

Quotes that go out today

A price on a job the day it is looked at, in a format the customer can accept without ringing back. The ones that go quiet get followed up by the system, not by your memory.

Invoices raised when the work ends

The job closes, the invoice exists. No Friday afternoon reconstructing the week from the crew's texts.

The money chased for you

Thirty, sixty, ninety days. Each one gets a different letter, and the ninety-day one is not polite. You see the list; you do not have to write it.

Sales tax before it is a problem

Where you have nexus, what is taxable there, and what changes on a date in the future. Several states start taxing software services on 1 January 2027 — it already knows.

What it does not do

It does not dispatch. It does not route vans, hold a live schedule board, or track where a crew is standing right now. If you already run Jobber, ServiceTitan or a whiteboard, keep it — this sits behind it and handles what happens after the work is done. Being told that honestly up front is cheaper for both of us than finding out in month two.

Written for your trade

The paperwork that bleeds money is different in every trade. Pick yours.

Have someone call you

A person rings you back and asks what is eating your time. If it is not a fit they will say so on that call rather than book you a demo.

We use this to call you back. Nothing else, and nobody else.
