Refrigeration · Job management
The refrigeration job, start to paid, on one record.
Job management for commercial refrigeration contractors: 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
The emergency
Restaurant and grocery calls dispatched by urgency and proximity, with the site’s equipment notes in the truck before it arrives: which rack, which refrigerant, what failed last time.
02
The maintenance contract
Quarterly coil cleanings and temperature checks generate their own visits, carry their checklists, and renew without a re-sell.
03
The install
Case swaps and new boxes quoted from the book, scheduled as their own days, and closed with photos of what went in.
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.
Refrigeration · 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.
Every hour down is spoiled inventory
A restaurant losing a walk-in does not hold for a callback. The call has to become a dispatched truck in one motion.
The site’s history rides in one tech’s head
When the veteran who knows that rack retires, the knowledge should stay on the record, not leave in the truck with him.
After-hours work, daylight billing
Emergency work finished at midnight gets invoiced Thursday, disputed Friday. Collect it on site while the save is fresh.
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 commercial refrigeration contractors ask.
What does Thorbis cost for commercial refrigeration 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 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 refrigeration job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for commercial refrigeration contractors specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For commercial refrigeration contractors that means the emergency, the maintenance contract, and the install, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are refrigeration 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.
