Contractors need software that works where they work: job sites, basements, rooftops—often without cell service. Most apps don't. Here's what matters for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other trades.
What Every Trade Needs
- Offline access—basements and remote sites often have no signal
- Photo documentation—document work, mark up images, prove compliance
- Expense tracking—log costs when they happen
- Task management—what's due today, no complex calendars
- Mobile-first—phone, not desktop
HVAC
Service calls, seasonal maintenance, equipment docs. Work happens in attics, crawl spaces, mechanical rooms—poor connectivity. Organize service calls, document equipment with photos and markup, track maintenance schedules, record parts per job. Invoice on-site.
Plumbing
Emergency calls don't wait. Customer history, before/after docs, invoicing from the job site. Each property is a project with full history. Document with photos, track parts, generate invoices. Code compliance for permits and inspections.
Electrical
Code compliance, circuit docs, inspection records. Photo docs for compliance, canvas for circuit maps, tasks for permit and inspection phases, finance tracking for materials. Service history per property for return calls.
Remodeling & General
Multi-phase projects, change orders, multiple trades. Track phases with tasks, document progress, record material and labor per project. One place for the whole job.
Specialty Trades (Tile, Glazing, Carpentry)
Expensive materials, custom work, precise docs. Track material costs per job. Document installations with photos. Records for warranty and future reference.
