JOB MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE · UTAH

One record per job, from booked to billed.

A job gets created once, assigned, scheduled, updated by whoever is doing the work, closed out and invoiced — with nobody retyping it into a second tool. Built for Utah service businesses whose real process stopped fitting the software years ago.

01THE REAL PROBLEM

Nobody goes looking for job management software.

They go looking for a way to stop losing jobs between the office and the field. The pattern is always the same — booked on a phone call, scheduled on a whiteboard, communicated by group text, documented in someone's camera roll, then rebuilt in a spreadsheet at month end so it can be invoiced. Every handoff is a place where a job goes missing, gets billed wrong or gets done twice. You don't see it as a line item. You feel it as we're busy but the margins are weird.

Jobs are booked in one place and scheduled in another

A call, a form, a text to the owner — then a whiteboard or a shared calendar. Two records of the same job, and neither one is authoritative.

Crews find out from a group text

The schedule lives in a chat thread that scrolls. If someone misses it, you find out when the customer calls asking where the truck is.

Notes and photos live on phones

Proof of work sits in a camera roll until someone asks for it. Change orders get agreed verbally and remembered differently by both sides.

Month end is a reconstruction project

Somebody rebuilds what actually happened from texts, receipts and memory before anything can be invoiced. That's two evenings a week you never bill for.

02WHAT YOU GET

What a job management V1 covers.

  • Job records that hold everything

    Customer, address, scope, quoted price, assigned crew, status, photos, notes and change orders on one record — using your stages and your terminology.

  • Scheduling and crew assignment

    Assign jobs to people and days, see who's overloaded before the week starts, and handle the reschedules that actually happen — weather, callbacks, a customer who isn't home.

  • Field updates from a phone

    Crews open their day, mark jobs started and finished, capture photos and leave notes without calling the office. Managers see it as it happens, not on Monday.

  • Invoicing without re-entry

    A finished job becomes an invoice. Two-way QuickBooks Online or Xero sync means nobody retypes anything and payment status flows back onto the job.

  • Role-based access

    Owners see margin. Office staff see scheduling and billing. Crews see today's work and nothing else. Each role gets a screen that helps them.

  • Reporting you'll actually open

    Job profitability, crew throughput, quote-to-close rate, what's sitting unbilled — built from questions you already ask, not whatever was easy to chart.

  • Your history, migrated across

    Customer list, job history and open work come over from spreadsheets or a platform export. Agreed during scoping so launch day has no surprises.

  • Ownership and a written warranty

    Source code, database and infrastructure config are yours on final payment, with up to 150 days of bug warranty. No per-seat license to keep paying.

04STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions people actually ask.

From $25,000, with most V1 systems landing between $25,000 and $65,000 depending on how much of the workflow it covers and how many systems it has to talk to. The comparison that matters isn't build cost against a subscription — it's build cost against what the manual coordination is costing you now. Scope and price are fixed in writing before any code exists.

Not automatically, and I'll say so on the call. If your workflow matches how those platforms are designed to work, they're cheaper, faster and genuinely the right buy. Custom makes sense when your real process breaks them — job stages they can't model, pay rules they won't handle, reporting they won't produce, or per-seat pricing that punishes you for hiring.

There's no headcount threshold — the trigger is friction, not size. A six-person crew losing ten hours a week to double entry has a stronger case than a thirty-person company whose off-the-shelf tool genuinely fits. The clearest tell is people keeping a spreadsheet alongside the software you already pay for.

Yes. It's built mobile-first so crews see assigned jobs, update status, capture photos and add notes from a phone. For canyon and rural job sites, key screens can be built offline-capable so they queue up and sync when signal returns instead of failing outright — that's a scoping decision, since offline support is real engineering.

It gets migrated as part of the build, not treated as an afterthought. Spreadsheets, an export from your current platform or a database — the customer list, job history and open work come across. What exactly comes over is agreed during scoping so nothing gets discovered on launch day.

Six to twelve weeks from signed scope. The date holds because the V1 feature list and an explicit out-of-scope section are written down first, so nothing gets quietly added. You see working features weekly, and your office manager and one crew lead should use it before launch — they find things nobody else would.
