The refrigeration day, on one board.
Every refrigeration 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 work
The days the board has to hold.
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.
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.
Refrigeration · 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.
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
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 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 scheduling a separate module?
No. Scheduling & dispatch 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.
