From the first call to paid, on one record.
The garage-door job, start to paid, on one record.
Job management for garage-door companies: the timeline, photos, change orders, and progress payments on the same record the board runs on, so nothing about the job lives in a text thread.
The work
The jobs that need a record.
01
Emergency repair
A broken spring or an off-track door is flagged, routed, and answered with an arrival window, before the customer calls the next shop.
02
Installation
Measure, order, deliver, install: one job across its days, so nothing is lost between the tape measure and the crew.
03
Maintenance plans
Annual inspection, lubrication, and balance testing that renew on stored cards, sold from the findings of the repair visit.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
One record, end to end
When the scope, the money, and the paperwork live in different places, things fall through. Here they are one object with one history.
Change orders that bill themselves
Added scope is captured on site, approved by the customer (optionally signed) and the approved amount rolls into the revised contract value automatically.
Proof, not a pile of notes
Photos, checklists, and signatures attach to the job as it runs. Closeout means billing-ready documentation, not an archaeology project.
Garage door · Job management
Built where the floor is torn up.
Phases, crews, and materials tracked from the same record the same-day board runs on.
The old way
What the group text costs.
No ETA, no job
An emergency caller without a clear arrival window keeps dialing down the search results.
The install loses days between steps
Measurement, ordering, selection, and crew scheduling in four places means a door in the warehouse and a crew somewhere else.
Plans go unsold
Without a way to present options and track renewals, the maintenance book stays small.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Progress payments
Deposits, milestone draws, and retainage: the long job billed by stage, from the same record that runs it.
02
Field forms
Custom checklists, inspections, and sign-offs built by you, captured on the job, enforced before closeout where you say so.
03
Made for the whole team
The tech sees the work, the office sees the money, the owner sees the risk (schedule drift, missing proof, margin pressure) without asking anyone.
Straight answers
What garage-door companies ask.
What does Thorbis cost for garage-door companies?
$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 job management a separate module?
No. Jobs & work orders is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the garage-door job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for garage-door companies specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For garage-door companies that means emergency repair, installation, and maintenance plans, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are garage-door jobs.
Can I bill a job in stages?
Yes. Progress payments cover deposits, milestones, and retainage instead of one invoice at the end.
How do change orders work?
Capture the added scope, get customer approval (with a signature if you want one), and the approved amount rolls into the revised contract value.
Can I build my own forms?
Yes. Custom field forms are captured on the job record and can be required before closeout.
