Who you are · Controllers · Plumbing
Whoever holds a plumbing 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 controller
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
Emergency call-outs
Any hour. The call becomes a job with the address, the history, and whoever is on call, not a voicemail to decode at 6 a.m.
02
Service routes
Drains, fixtures, repairs. The day’s route lives on the board, not on a whiteboard photographed at 7 a.m.
03
Install jobs
Water heaters and repipes, quoted from the book, scheduled around the service day instead of against it.
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 2 a.m. call goes to a competitor
An emergency without a clear answer and an ETA calls the next name in the search results.
The quote takes the evening
Techs rebuild the same water-heater quote by hand instead of pulling it from a book.
The invoice waits for the office
Work finished Tuesday gets billed Friday and paid whenever. Collect in the driveway instead.
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 plumbing 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.
