Who you are · Controllers · Controls & low voltage
Whoever holds a controls and low-voltage shop’s books (controller, bookkeeper, the owner’s spouse at a kitchen table) inherits every gap between the field and the ledger. The product’s job is to close those gaps at the source.

The chair’s real problems
The deposit doesn’t match anything
A lump lands in the bank and someone spends Thursday guessing which invoices it contains.
Double entry, double error
Work keyed into field software and again into the accounting file drifts twice, and you own the drift.
The software bill wanders
Per-seat licenses, surprise tiers, usage overages: a line item you have to re-audit every quarter.
The work
01
The phased install
Rough-in, trim, commission: days and crews tracked on the job today, with photos and notes accumulating where the walls will close. Phase tracking arrives with Projects (Next).
02
The service call
A reader offline or a camera dark, dispatched with the site’s install history: what was run, where it lands, who commissioned it.
03
The retrofit
Small works and upgrades quoted from the book and scheduled between project days, not lost behind them.
What the record hands you
One-way posting, on purpose
Thorbis posts to QuickBooks; the books stay in QuickBooks. One direction means one source of truth to audit.
The bridge →Deposits that itemize
Payouts trace to the invoices inside them. Reconciliation is a check, not an investigation.
Money →A bill you can predict
The posted company price plus metered usage you can see: no per-seat math, no quarter-end surprise.
The quote →The old way
The punch list lives in a text thread
Items agreed on a walkthrough vanish into phones. A punch item that is not on a record is a callback with your margin attached.
The change order never gets billed
Extra drops added in a hallway conversation are real cost. Unwritten, they are a donation to the GC.
The closeout binder eats a week
Photos, test results, and as-built notes captured on the job as it runs mean closeout is an export, not an archaeology dig.
The day, from this chair
9:00
The match, confirmed
Yesterday’s payout against its invoices: minutes, because the itemization came with it.
11:30
The exception, alone
One job that didn’t post cleanly, flagged, instead of a full-ledger hunt for silent drift.
16:00
The close, boring
Month-end without the shoebox: the field data arrived structured, so the close is arithmetic.
Straight answers
Does the controller cost a seat?
No. $99 is the company, not the seat. Every chair on this page is included, from the owner to the newest tech, and a hire changes the crew rather than the software bill.
Can we bring our controls and low-voltage records?
CSV and Excel, Documents, The API: we map the columns and read what we can, with a dry run you inspect before anything is live. What we cannot take stays a limit you can see.
