Inventory & Price Book
Trade starter libraries
Start quoting on day one with pre-built price-book libraries for your trade.
Overview
A blank price book is one of the biggest reasons new shops stall before their first quote. Thorbis is building trade-specific starter libraries, with common tasks, parts, and pricing structures for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and more. You'll start from a working price book and adjust it to your market instead of building from scratch.
What we're building
A blank price book is one of the biggest reasons new shops stall before their first quote. Building out tasks, parts, and pricing structures from scratch takes weeks most owners don't have when they're trying to get the phone ringing and the trucks rolling.
Thorbis is building trade-specific starter libraries with common tasks, parts, and pricing structures for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and more. You load a working price book for your trade and adjust it to your local market, instead of staring at an empty screen, and you can mix and match libraries when you run more than one trade.
It's for new shops and crews adding a service line who want to start quoting on day one and use the starter as the base for their own customized book.
