Job management for handyman, painting and trade shops

Each job keeps the site address, when the crew shows up, who is on it, what to buy, the quote, and the hours worked. Save it, reload it, and it is all still there.

Who it is for

Field and trade businesses: handyman, painting, plumbing, restoration and general contractors who work at the customer's site.

What you get

  • A job record with the site address, show-up time, crew and buy list
  • The quote on the job, and paid marked when you collect it
  • Hours per crew member, with what you owe each one figured as hours × rate
  • A printable invoice for the job

How it works

  1. Open a shop and choose Field & trades as your kind.
  2. Add a job with the address, the date, the crew and the quote.
  3. Log hours as the work happens. Mark it paid when the customer pays.

What it does not do

You pay your crew outside Operate. The desk does not file 1099s or send payouts. Drawings and takeoffs stay in the tools you use for them.

Price

Part of the Operate desk: $49 a month for the whole desk, after a 15-day trial.
