The refrigeration day in a tech’s pocket.
The field app for commercial refrigeration contractors, native on iOS and Android at launch: the next stop full screen, Arrive in one tap, the book and the invoice on the same phone, and $0 per tech, because the crew is never a seat count.
The work
The days the phone has to run.
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.
The whole job, one screen
The next stop full screen: the address, the history, the checklist, the book. Arrive is a thumb tap, not a radio call.
Paid before the truck leaves
Flat-rate to estimate to invoice on the same device, with card and signature capture on site, and Tap to Pay when it lands.
The office sees it live
Photos, signatures, and payments appear on the board the moment they happen. No envelope of paper riding home.
Refrigeration · Field app
Built where the work happens.
Every screen answers to one test: does it hold up in a crawlspace, on a ladder, with one hand.
The old way
What the call to the office 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
Before the visit
Customer and equipment history load with the job, so the tech walks in knowing what was found last time.
02
On site
Checklists, photos, and notes attach to the job as the work happens. Documentation as a side effect, not a chore.
03
Built for real field conditions
Glove-sized targets, glare-tested contrast, and a design that assumes a crawlspace, not a desk.
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 the field app a separate module?
No. The field app 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.
Does each tech cost extra?
No. The field app is included for unlimited people. A new tech changes the crew, not the software bill.
iPhone or Android?
Both, native, in the App Store and Google Play at launch. A store delay moves the launch; we will not ship a web wrapper and call it native. A tech can switch devices without losing their place.
Can techs see company financials?
Only if you permit it. Role-based access keeps the money views with the people you choose.
