Who you are · Service managers · Handyman
The service manager’s job at a handyman shop is quality at speed: which techs are drowning, which jobs went sideways, which callbacks were preventable. That is a reading problem, and the record was built to be read.
the service manager
The chair’s real problems
Callbacks arrive as mysteries
Without photos, notes, and the timeline, every callback becomes a he-said dispute instead of a fixable pattern.
Coaching runs on vibes
Who quotes well, who closes, who leaves money on the truck, guessed from memory instead of read from work.
The best tech’s knowledge is trapped
The veteran’s habits (the photos they take, the notes they leave) should become the crew’s floor, not their secret.
The work
01
Quick quotes
Estimates built from templates and stored photos, sent while the lead is still warm instead of three evenings later.
02
The day
Drag-and-drop jobs, and rescheduling the customer does online instead of by voicemail.
03
Collect
Deposits by card or ACH before the work, the invoice at the door after it.
What the record hands you
Every job tells its story
Photos, notes, times, and signatures in one place. The callback conversation starts from evidence.
The apps →The week by tech
What each tech ran, quoted, and closed: the coaching conversation with numbers in it.
The week →The book keeps quotes honest
Estimates built from one price book mean price consistency isn’t a personality trait.
Estimates →The old way
Jobs live in text threads
A schedule that lives in messages gets lost in messages.
Cold leads
An estimate that takes three days answers a customer who already hired someone.
The owner’s second shift
Evenings spent invoicing and reconciling are the ceiling on how big the book can get.
The day, from this chair
8:00
Yesterday’s exceptions
The jobs that ran long or came back, read from the record before the trucks roll.
13:00
The ride-along, aimed
You ride with the tech whose numbers say they need it, not whoever’s turn it feels like.
17:00
The callback, closed
Photos from the original visit settle in two minutes what used to take two phone calls.
Straight answers
Does the service manager 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 handyman 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.
