Field service software for solo operators
Thorbis is field service management software a one-person service business can run from a truck. Take the call, book the job, send the estimate, invoice on site, and get paid — without an office or a software admin. When you hire your first tech, nothing changes but the seat count.
Who it's for: Owner-operators running every role themselves — answering the phone, doing the work, and billing at the kitchen table at night.
Recommended modules

- Schedule
- Jobs
- Estimates
- Invoices

A setup that matches how solo operators actually runs.
Thorbis changes shape as more people touch the work, without forcing the team into separate tools for scheduling, billing, customer updates, and reporting.
Owner-operator
One app for booking, estimating, invoicing, and getting paid.
Team
A call comes in — you take it and create the customer and job in seconds.
Customer experience
You send a good-better-best estimate from your phone before you leave the driveway.
Run the week without adding management overhead.
At solo operators, the platform should help the team look at the right work at the right interval, not create another dashboard to babysit.
A call comes in — you take it and create the customer and job in seconds.
Estimates, scheduling, and invoicing happen between jobs and after hours. You need software that does the admin for you, not software that needs an admin.
$299/month + usage at cost, with unlimited users and a $100/month utilities credit included. Phone, SMS, and AI utilities bill at cost past the credit; payment processing is pass-through.
What's hard at solo operators
You are the office and the field
Estimates, scheduling, and invoicing happen between jobs and after hours. You need software that does the admin for you, not software that needs an admin.
Cash flow is everything
Getting paid on site instead of mailing an invoice changes your week. You need estimates and payments in the same app you already have open.
You don't want to switch later
The cheap tool you start on becomes the migration you dread at five trucks. Start on a platform that already has the next five years built in.
Keep today simple, but don’t box in the next stage.
The right setup for solo operators should solve the current bottleneck and leave room for more roles, more jobs, and more reporting later.

How migration worksCommon questions
Is Thorbis overkill for a one-person business?
No. You only turn on what you need — customers, scheduling, estimates, invoicing, and payments — and everything else stays out of your way until you grow into it.
Will the price jump when I hire someone?
The base plan includes unlimited users, so adding your first tech doesn't add a per-seat fee. Usage-based services (phone, SMS, AI) scale with what you use.
