The work

The work that gets billed.

  • 01

    The phased install

    Rough-in, trim, commission: days and crews tracked on the job today, with photos and notes accumulating where the walls will close. Phase tracking arrives with Projects (Next).

  • 02

    The service call

    A reader offline or a camera dark, dispatched with the site’s install history: what was run, where it lands, who commissioned it.

  • 03

    The retrofit

    Small works and upgrades quoted from the book and scheduled between project days, not lost behind them.

Why it matters

The argument, in three rows.

  • Done should mean paid

    The estimate becomes the invoice, the invoice is presented on site, and the payment lands before the truck door shuts. Same day, most days.

  • Every invoice, tracked

    Sent, delivered, opened, paid. Viewed three times and unpaid is a signal, and the follow-up knows it too.

  • Big jobs, billed right

    Deposits, milestone draws, change orders, and retainage on multi-phase work: progress billing from the job record, not a spreadsheet on the side.

The money follows the work.

Billed from the job, collected on the drive. The cash loop runs on the same record as the day.

The old way

What Friday billing costs.

  • The punch list lives in a text thread

    Items agreed on a walkthrough vanish into phones. A punch item that is not on a record is a callback with your margin attached.

  • The change order never gets billed

    Extra drops added in a hallway conversation are real cost. Unwritten, they are a donation to the GC.

  • The closeout binder eats a week

    Photos, test results, and as-built notes captured on the job as it runs mean closeout is an export, not an archaeology dig.

Up close

How it runs.

  • 01

    When they don’t pay same-day

    A follow-up ladder that runs itself: a text at day 3, an email at day 7, a call task at day 14, escalation at day 30. Polite, persistent, and logged.

  • 02

    The details handled

    Tax per jurisdiction, plan discounts applied automatically, and the warranty registered when the payment lands.

  • 03

    Processing at posted rates

    Card and bank processing at the processor’s posted rates, printed on the pricing page, never marked up. Recording cash and checks is free.

Straight answers

What controls and low-voltage contractors ask.

  • What does Thorbis cost for controls and low-voltage contractors?

    $99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.

  • Is invoicing a separate module?

    No. Invoicing & payments is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the controls and low-voltage job never leaves the system it started in.

  • Is it built for controls and low-voltage contractors specifically?

    The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For controls and low-voltage contractors that means the phased install, the service call, and the retrofit, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are controls and low-voltage jobs.
