The plumbing job, start to paid, on one record.

The work

The jobs that need a record.

  • 01

    Emergency call-outs

    Any hour. The call becomes a job with the address, the history, and whoever is on call, not a voicemail to decode at 6 a.m.

  • 02

    Service routes

    Drains, fixtures, repairs. The day’s route lives on the board, not on a whiteboard photographed at 7 a.m.

  • 03

    Install jobs

    Water heaters and repipes, quoted from the book, scheduled around the service day instead of against it.

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.

Plumbing · 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.

  • The 2 a.m. call goes to a competitor

    An emergency without a clear answer and an ETA calls the next name in the search results.

  • The quote takes the evening

    Techs rebuild the same water-heater quote by hand instead of pulling it from a book.

  • The invoice waits for the office

    Work finished Tuesday gets billed Friday and paid whenever. Collect in the driveway instead.

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 plumbing shops ask.

  • What does Thorbis cost for plumbing shops?

    $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 plumbing job never leaves the system it started in.

  • Is it built for plumbing shops specifically?

    The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For plumbing shops that means emergency call-outs, service routes, and install jobs, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are plumbing 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.
