Job management software for service businesses, being developed toward a connected operating system for service operations.

In development · product
Current product

A job management platform

One record per job, carrying its own history from the customer's first request through to payment. The office, the technician and the customer all look at the same thing rather than four versions of it.

Being built now
Product vision

A connected operating system for service businesses

Where jobs, customers, technicians, payments and history sit in one operating model — and where an intelligence layer becomes possible because the operational data underneath it is finally trustworthy.

Direction, not a shipped feature
01The problem

The job exists in four places and agrees in none

Service businesses run real operations on tools that were never meant to hold them. Nobody chose this — it accumulated, one workaround at a time, and by the time it hurts there is no single place to go and fix it.

  • Job details on paper that never reaches the office
  • Updates buried in WhatsApp threads
  • Spreadsheets rebuilt every month
  • Manual tracking of who owes what, for which job
  • No reliable history when the same asset fails again
The real constraint

The people using it are on site, often on a phone, usually in a hurry. If capturing the data costs more time than it saves, it will not be captured — which is why most field software fails quietly rather than loudly.

So the design rule is simple: every step must produce structured data as a side effect of doing the work, never as an extra admin task afterwards.

02Job lifecycle

One record, seven states, no re-entry

Tap any stage to see what the job looks like at that point and what data it has produced.

Customer request

The request arrives however the customer prefers — a call, a message, a walk-in — and lands as a structured intake rather than a note someone has to remember to act on.

Data produced

Customer record, request detail, timestamp, channel

03Interface

Concept interface

Design previews of how the product is intended to work. These are concept screens, not screenshots of a deployed application.

When the built screens are ready these are replaced with real product screenshots. Until then they are labelled as concepts on every frame, so nothing here reads as a deployed feature.

04Where AI earns its place

The intelligence layer waits for the data to deserve it

Everything below is roadmap. None of it is built, and none of it is worth building until the job history underneath is complete and honest.

Roadmap

AI customer assistant

Customers asking where their job is and getting an accurate answer without anyone reaching for a phone.

Roadmap

Automated status updates

Updates generated from the job's own state transitions rather than typed out again for the customer.

Roadmap

Scheduling optimization

Assignment that accounts for location, skill and real durations drawn from history rather than optimism.

Exploring

Job delay prediction

Flagging the jobs likely to slip while there is still time to do something about it. Requires a meaningful history first.

Exploring

Business insights

Which work is actually profitable, which customers cost more than they pay, where the month really went.

Sequencing

The order matters. Prediction built on incomplete job records produces confident nonsense — which is exactly the failure this whole practice argues against.
