Controls & low voltage · Field app
The controls and low-voltage day in a tech’s pocket.
The field app for controls and low-voltage contractors, native on iOS and Android at launch: the next stop full screen, Arrive in one tap, the book and the invoice on the same phone, and $0 per tech, because the crew is never a seat count.
The work
The days the phone has to run.
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.
The whole job, one screen
The next stop full screen: the address, the history, the checklist, the book. Arrive is a thumb tap, not a radio call.
Paid before the truck leaves
Flat-rate to estimate to invoice on the same device, with card and signature capture on site, and Tap to Pay when it lands.
The office sees it live
Photos, signatures, and payments appear on the board the moment they happen. No envelope of paper riding home.
Controls & low voltage · Field app
Built where the work happens.
Every screen answers to one test: does it hold up in a crawlspace, on a ladder, with one hand.
The old way
What the call to the office 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
Before the visit
Customer and equipment history load with the job, so the tech walks in knowing what was found last time.
02
On site
Checklists, photos, and notes attach to the job as the work happens. Documentation as a side effect, not a chore.
03
Built for real field conditions
Glove-sized targets, glare-tested contrast, and a design that assumes a crawlspace, not a desk.
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 the field app a separate module?
No. The field app 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.
Does each tech cost extra?
No. The field app is included for unlimited people. A new tech changes the crew, not the software bill.
iPhone or Android?
Both, native, in the App Store and Google Play at launch. A store delay moves the launch; we will not ship a web wrapper and call it native. A tech can switch devices without losing their place.
Can techs see company financials?
Only if you permit it. Role-based access keeps the money views with the people you choose.
