Your workflow
Lead intake, estimates, jobs and invoices modeled on how your office already works.
Field service software alternative
An alternative to ServiceTitan and Jobber — software you own
Subscription field service platforms charge per user every month, keep adding fees and make you work their way. A custom system is a one-time build shaped around your process, with hosting at cost and no per-seat license.
Scope
What you get instead of a subscription
The parts of a field service platform your company actually uses — nothing you pay for and never open.
Dispatch & scheduling
A schedule board by technician or crew, with live updates.
Field app
iOS and Android app for technicians, sharing the same data as the office.
Integrations
QuickBooks, RingCentral, Gmail, Google Calendar, marketplaces — connected once.
Data migration
Customers, jobs and history moved from your current platform in stages.
Support
Monitoring, fixes and new features after launch, from the team that built it.

Delivery
How the project runs
The same four phases on every project. Only their length changes with scope.
1. Discovery · 1–2 weeks
Interviews with the people who will use the system, a map of the current process, a written specification and an estimate. The documents are yours even if you build elsewhere.
2. Architecture · 1–2 weeks
Data model, integrations, infrastructure and a milestone schedule. This is where the scope, price and launch date are fixed in writing.
3. Build · two-week iterations
A working demo every Friday and a staging environment you can open at any time. Changes in scope are priced and agreed before they are built.
4. Launch & support · ongoing
Deployment, handover, documentation and training, then a support arrangement sized to the business.
Pricing
Subscription vs. your own system
A subscription is cheaper in the first year and more expensive every year after. A custom system costs more up front, then only hosting and the support you choose. The fixed price is agreed in writing after discovery.
Compare with your current yearly subscription and add-on fees to see when a custom system pays for itself. Use the configurator to see a range for your scope.

FAQ
Questions we are asked most
When does a custom system make sense instead of ServiceTitan or Jobber?
When per-user fees keep growing, your process does not fit the platform, or you depend on add-ons and workarounds. Small teams with a standard process are often fine on a subscription — we will tell you honestly.
Can you migrate our data from ServiceTitan, Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Yes. We export customers, jobs, estimates and history and import them in stages, so the office keeps working during the switch.
Do we own the system and the data?
Yes. Repositories, cloud accounts and data are created in your name from the first commit. There is no per-seat license and no lock-in.
What happens if you stop working with us?
The code, cloud accounts and documentation are yours. Any competent team can continue the work.
