For handymen
Six small jobs a day shouldn't mean six hours of paperwork.
Nothing repeats, every job is a different address and a different problem, and the admin per dollar is brutal. Quote in a minute, invoice before you drive off, and get the evening back.

What handyman actually runs into
Quoting takes longer than the job
A forty-dollar fix doesn't justify an evening writing an estimate. Build it on your phone in under a minute and send it before you've left the driveway.
Fitting five jobs into a day
Short jobs at scattered addresses. See the whole day on one screen and know what's next without opening three apps.
Materials bought on the way
The bracket, the sealant, the part from the hardware store. Add it to the job on site so it reaches the invoice instead of your own pocket.
Chasing small amounts
Nobody enjoys a fortnight of texts over eighty dollars. Send the invoice when you finish and let them pay by card or e-Transfer on the spot.
The first five minutes decide it
Harvard Business Review audited how fast 2,241 companies answered new enquiries, then tracked 1.25 million leads to see what happened next. Replying inside five minutes rather than thirty changed the outcome dramatically.

How the day runs
- 1
Quote it on the doorstep
Line items, a price, sent by text. They accept with a tap.
- 2
Slot it into the day
Several short jobs on one schedule, in the order that makes sense to drive.
- 3
Add what it took
Materials and extra time go onto the job while you're standing there.
- 4
Invoice before you leave
Complete, send, paid — usually before the next address.
Questions handyman businesses ask
- Is this overkill for small jobs?
- The whole flow is built for speed: a quick quote takes about a minute and an invoice is one tap from a completed job. If it took longer than doing the paperwork by hand, it wouldn't be worth it.
- Can I charge hourly and fixed price?
- Yes. Line items are yours to define, so an hourly rate, a flat job price, materials at cost, or all three on the same invoice.
- Can I add materials while I'm on site?
- Yes. Add them to the job from your phone and they carry through to the invoice, so the trip to the hardware store doesn't come out of your margin.
- What about customers who call while I'm working?
- Missed calls get an automatic text back within seconds, so the next job doesn't slip away while your hands are full.
