Industries

Software for how your industry actually works

Every sector rents a different pile of tools, and each pile folds together differently. Compare them side by side, then see what yours would look like owned.

If you pay for several tools that don't talk to each other, the approach still applies.

HVAC and field services

Per-technician pricing punishes growth, and the office and the truck often work from different tools.

•One job record from call to invoice
•Dispatch and scheduling around your service areas
•Maintenance-agreement reminders you control
Construction and contractors

Estimates, schedules and change orders live in different places, so numbers drift between them.

•Estimates that become jobs without retyping
•Crew and subcontractor scheduling
•Change orders tied to the original quote
Clinics and practices

Intake, scheduling and reminders are often three subscriptions. Health data also carries legal duties, so we scope compliance with you before building.

•Intake forms that feed the schedule directly
•Reminders without a per-message fee
•Records in a database you hold
Agencies

Agencies rent tools for projects, time, reporting and billing, then pay people to reconcile them.

•Projects, time and invoices in one place
•Client reporting that builds itself
•Retainers tracked against real hours
Roofing and exteriors

Storm-season lead spikes and per-user pricing make the CRM bill climb just when you're busiest.

•Leads, inspections and estimates in one record
•Crew and material scheduling
•Follow-ups and warranty reminders you control
Real estate and property

Property managers pay per unit or per user for tools that mostly store records and send reminders.

•Maintenance requests routed to vendors
•Tenant and owner portals
•Lease dates and renewals tracked for you
Accounting and finance

Each client gets chased through email, a portal and a task tool, with a fee for every one.

•Document requests with automatic reminders
•Deadline and workflow board per client
•Client portal with no per-client fee
Restaurants and hospitality

Thin margins make every per-location and per-terminal fee matter.

•Staff scheduling and clock-in
•Inventory and supplier ordering
•Daily sales and labor reports
Logistics and trucking

Fleets pay per driver or per vehicle for tools that carry the same load, bills and documents.

•Dispatch board and driver check-ins
•Bills of lading and proof of delivery
•Invoicing from completed loads
Retail and e-commerce

Plugins and apps stack up monthly fees, and sales data ends up in several places.

•One inventory across channels
•Order and returns workflow
•Sales reporting you own
Nonprofits

Per-contact pricing grows with your community, not with your budget.

•Donor and volunteer records in one place
•Event and shift scheduling
•Grant and board reports
Do you only work in these industries?

No. These are where the tool piles are most predictable. Others work the same way.

Will you name the tools you'd replace?

In the audit, yes. Every tool is costed by name, with a keep, fold or replace call on each.
