The garage-door day, on one board.
Every garage-door 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 repair this morning becomes the plan enrollment this afternoon.
The work
The days the board has to hold.
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.
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.
Garage door · Scheduling
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.
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
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 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 scheduling a separate module?
No. Scheduling & dispatch 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.
