Your own app for electricians & plumbers

The app for electricians and plumbers — a photo instead of a wasted trip.

Drove out, took a look, drove back — and the right part was still on the shelf? With photo requests you decide from your phone: send an estimate, order the part, or set the appointment. The wasted trip never happens.

01Your turn

Three requests. How often do you really have to drive out?

Decide the way you would on your phone — is the photo enough, or does someone have to come?

“The GFCI keeps tripping” + photo of the panel

In the photo: old panel, no space problem

“The water heater is dripping” + photo of the rating plate

Rating plate readable — the seal kit can be ordered

“Add outlets in an older home” + 3 photos

Wire routing unclear — that one needs eyes on site

03Big jobs, zero status calls

The Hendersons' solar array — from the customer's side.

Every big job gets a folder in the app — tap through the stages:

Job folder · stage 1 of 4

  • Roof photos and power bill uploaded
  • Sized at 9.6 kW plus a battery
  • Estimate approved in the app ✓
Your office meanwhile0 status calls

The Hendersons see

Stage 1: “Planning” — today's status, without asking

Documents

Estimate · system plan · rebate paperwork — all in the folder, nothing lost in an email thread

If they have questions

the customer writes in the app — you answer when you are not standing on a roof

“How far along are we?” the folder answers — your crew keeps working.

From the field

Photo first — drive out only when it is needed.

The call says: “Something is dripping.” The photo says: tankless heater, rating plate readable, connection under the unit, seal kit fits. Between those two sentences lie half an hour of driving, a parking spot and the ride back to the shop — or not.

≈ 75 hof drive time gone per year — at 2 wasted trips a week
2,400 mithe truck does not drive — 25 miles per trip saved
from $4,000a full app with photo requests and scheduling

What the photo already decides

A photo request is not a form with a picture stapled to it, it is a decision made early. Someone who photographs the open panel shows you the condition, the spare capacity and usually the age of the whole thing. In two minutes you can see whether an estimate goes out, a part gets ordered, or whether this one really needs eyes on site. All the customer notices is that the answer came fast.

The second effect gets underrated — you know what belongs on the truck. A readable rating plate means: bring the seal kit. “The GFCI keeps tripping” plus a photo of the panel means: pack a 20 A GFCI breaker. Two trips — one to look, one to fix — become one. That is the difference between a full day and a day where two jobs get pushed.

The cheapest hour in the shop is the trip that never happens.

What that means in miles and hours

Run it with your own numbers instead of an industry average. Two wasted trips a week, 45 minutes and 25 miles each, across 48 working weeks: about 75 hours and 2,400 miles a year. Time nobody is turning a wrench in, and fuel nobody can bill. The calculator further down turns that into your number — your trips, your miles.

Staying honest: not every request gets settled by a photo. When the wire routing in an older home is a mystery, or the measurements for a faucet are missing, somebody drives out. Just with every photo already in their head and the right parts on the truck — and without the second trip afterward. Anyone promising that you will never drive out for nothing again is selling you something.

Service is planned revenue, not luck

The second lever sits where most shops only react: the equipment you already look after. Water heaters, combustion checks, panel checks — the app reminds the customer 14 days ahead and sends three open times along with it. He taps one, the appointment is in your day plan. No “we will be in touch,” no paging through a calendar.

That shifts something fundamental: instead of waiting for something to break, you fill September while it is still August. On top of that come the forms that still run on paper — service report, inspection report, handoff sheet. Filled in digitally, signed on site, filed as a PDF on the job. The Friday afternoon somebody spends retyping paperwork simply stops happening.

And the start is more complete than most people expect: the first version from $4,000 is a finished app with photo requests and scheduling — in the stores, under your name, ready in two weeks. What comes later is not the missing rest, it is more technology: automation, an admin area, the connection to your job or time tracking system. What gets built out is whatever proves useful in daily work — not whatever looks good in a brochure.

Hands in the junction box — and the office calls to ask how far along you are.

Photo triage and the job folder keep the office and the jobsite in sync — zero status calls, full focus.

Photograph the panel or the dripping water heater, send the request — back comes an estimate or a proposed time, without anyone having to stop by first. On bigger jobs the folder shows where your solar array stands: planning, material, install, handoff, plus photos, plans and reports. On the day of the visit you see when the tech leaves. more

The photo really is enough2 weeks ago
R. Alvarez

Water heater dripping, photographed the rating plate, sent the request. By the afternoon the proposed time was there and the part was already ordered. It used to be that somebody always had to come look first.

I know when someone is coming1 month ago
dave_h_82

In the morning the message says the tech will be there in twenty minutes — so nobody waits around the whole first half of the day. The app reminds me about the water heater service on its own. Older invoices I cannot always find right away in the folder.

What’s NewVersion History

Version 1.2

Photo requests now take several pictures at once, rating plate included — and the job folder walks a solar array through stage by stage, from sizing it at 9.6 kW to the handoff.

Just a preview — your name, your logo, your colors. Screenshots come from the app on this page; figures and reviews are placeholders.

Built once, available everywhere: your customers download the app from the store, you run everything from a browser.

05Proof, not promises

What we build is out in the app stores.

Six apps of our own, used by real people every day. What you see here are the untouched store screenshots and preview videos — exactly what anyone downloading them gets. Click through the shelf.

06Behind the studio

Who actually builds your app?

08Set packages, set prices

What does it all cost?

There is no hourly billing and nothing added on afterwards: you choose a package, you get a fixed price for it, and you know in advance what is included. Even Start is a complete app — the larger packages add features and deeper technology, not better quality.

Included everywhere: App Store, Google Play and the browser — along with hosting, updates and support. The only difference is the feature set.

from $199 / month

  • We build it, run it and maintain it; you pay monthly
  • Updates, new features and support are part of it
  • The source code stays with us at first and becomes yours once it is paid off in full

Depending on the feature set, projects land between $4,000 and roughly $30,000 — how far your app goes is your call. We name the fixed price after a short conversation, free and without obligation.

The three packages are typical sizes; anything in between is possible too. The math: base package $4,000, each additional module about +$900, each connection to an existing system about +$2,500. The shows what every single feature costs.

Where do the speed and the price come from? We work with current tooling, AI included — the time we save goes back into the price, the care stays handmade.
