PM agreements are hard to keep on schedule
Rooftop units, chillers and boilers across many sites, each with its own maintenance plan and contract terms.
FOR COMMERCIAL HVAC & MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS
Planned maintenance, service and projects in one place.
Commercial customers expect equipment history, on-time PMs and fast quotes. We build custom software around how your service department actually runs, connected to the tools you already use.
Founder-led software team based in Atlanta, working with companies nationwide.
WHERE TIME GOES
The work is complex. The tools shouldn't be.
Equipment history is hard to find
Model numbers, past repairs and recommendations are buried in tickets, PDFs and technician notes.
Quotes and billing lag the work
Repair recommendations from the field take too long to become approved quotes and invoices.
WHAT WE BUILD
Software designed around how your team works.
Not another subscription you bend your process around. We start with your highest-value workflow and expand from there.
- Maintenance agreements and PM scheduling by site and equipment
- Equipment records with full service and repair history
- Dispatch and technician assignment
- Field recommendations that become quotes for approval
- Customer reports and building-owner visibility
- Accounting and parts system integrations

You'll talk with Alex Alexander, founder

OUR WORK
Our work includes a connected operations platform for an Atlanta-area field-service company: work orders, vendor coordination, searchable job history and reporting. We report project status honestly and never claim results we can't show.

Common questions
We run ServiceTitan or a similar platform. Can you help?
Yes. Many clients keep their main platform and use us for the gaps: custom reporting, integrations, customer portals or workflows the platform doesn't handle well.
Do you only work with large contractors?
No. Our engagements start with one workflow. Companies with roughly 15 to 250 employees are a typical fit.
What does a project cost?
Most companies start with a $3,500 workflow audit (credited toward the build), then fix one workflow, typically $25K to $50K. Connected platforms run $50K to $100K. A useful comparison is the hours your office spends each week rekeying, chasing and searching; we can work through that estimate together on the call. Scope and price are confirmed after discovery.
How long does it take?
Most focused projects take about 6 to 8 weeks. We build in stages, so your team sees and tests working software along the way, and we confirm the timeline after the discovery call.
Who owns the software?
You do. When the project is done, you own the code and the system we build for you.
What happens after launch?
Every project includes 90 days of fixes at no charge. After that, you can choose a monthly care plan, starting at $600 a month, covering hosting, monitoring, updates, fixes and small changes. Or get help as needed at $150 an hour. Bigger additions are scoped as their own small projects.
What happens on the call?
A free 30-minute phone call about how your team works today and where it gets stuck. Afterward we send you a short written summary of what we heard and what fixing it could look like, whether or not we work together. If custom software isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
