Who you are · Controllers · Garage door

The garage-door books should reconcile themselves.

Whoever holds a garage-door 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

What the controller at a garage-door shop is up against.

  • 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

The days garage-door companies run.

  • 01

    Emergency repair

    A broken spring or an off-track door is flagged, routed, and answered with an arrival window, before the customer calls the next shop.

  • 02

    Installation

    Measure, order, deliver, install: one job across its days, so nothing is lost between the tape measure and the crew.

  • 03

    Maintenance plans

    Annual inspection, lubrication, and balance testing that renew on stored cards, sold from the findings of the repair visit.

What the record hands you

Your view of the garage-door product.

  • 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

What the whiteboard costs garage-door companies.

  • No ETA, no job

    An emergency caller without a clear arrival window keeps dialing down the search results.

  • The install loses days between steps

    Measurement, ordering, selection, and crew scheduling in four places means a door in the warehouse and a crew somewhere else.

  • Plans go unsold

    Without a way to present options and track renewals, the maintenance book stays small.

The day, from this chair

Three moments that change.

  1. 9:00

    The match, confirmed

    Yesterday’s payout against its invoices: minutes, because the itemization came with it.

  2. 11:30

    The exception, alone

    One job that didn’t post cleanly, flagged, instead of a full-ledger hunt for silent drift.

  3. 16:00

    The close, boring

    Month-end without the shoebox: the field data arrived structured, so the close is arithmetic.

Straight answers

What the controller asks first.

  • 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 garage-door 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.
