Who you are · Controllers · Refrigeration

The refrigeration books should reconcile themselves.

Whoever holds a refrigeration 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 refrigeration 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 commercial refrigeration contractors run.

  • 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.

What the record hands you

Your view of the refrigeration 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 commercial refrigeration contractors.

  • 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.

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 refrigeration 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.
