The plumbing day, on one board.
Every plumbing 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.

Two still need a truck. Mike is free.
The work
The days the board has to hold.
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.
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.
Plumbing · 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.
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
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 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 scheduling a separate module?
No. Scheduling & dispatch 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.
