Controls & low voltage · Scheduling
The controls and low-voltage day, on one board.
Every controls and low-voltage job on one board the office runs and the trucks read: the morning built once, the emergency dropped in without re-sorting it, and Arrive tapped from the cab.

The service call runs beside the install without borrowing its crew.
The work
The days the board has to hold.
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.
A truck that’s driving isn’t earning
Jobs sequence by geography so the day spends its hours on work, not windshield. The gap in the afternoon is visible at 6:40, not at 2 p.m.
The day goes sideways on schedule
A burst line jumps the queue; the board reshuffles; every affected phone updates itself. The emergency is an insertion, not a meltdown.
The customer hears it first
Confirmations, delay notices, and status texts go out from the board, before the customer wonders, not after they call.

The board is the day.
Software for the trades where the schedule is the business, and the record has to keep up with the truck.
The old way
What the whiteboard 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
One Friday, start to finish
A cancellation at 9, an emergency at 11, a truck stuck at 2, and a board that ends the day full anyway, with every change logged and every customer told.
02
Capacity, planned ahead
Recurring visits place themselves, and the weeks ahead show how booked each day already is, so the quiet week gets a capacity push before it arrives.
03
The right tech, not just the next one
Skills and licenses match to the work, and multi-day installs hold their crew across the days.
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 scheduling a separate module?
No. Scheduling & dispatch 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.
