One job. A clearer path through it.

The work moves forward. The details come with you.

  1. Before the next job

    Know what's next before you turn the key.

    The visit, the address, the customer. The day sits on a board that stays connected to the work — with one tap to say you're on your way.

    Handro's Jobs screen: the next visit with its address, time and technician, and the rest of today below
  2. On the road

    The drive between every stop, worked out.

    The day's jobs sit on one map, with the estimated distance and drive time from your shop to the first stop, and from each job to the next.

  3. At the door

    Show up with the whole story.

    What happened last time? Which estimate went out? Customer 360 keeps every job, estimate, payment and message together.

    Customer → jobs, estimates, payments and messages

    Handro's Customer 360: contact actions, membership, lifetime value, outstanding balance and recent activity
  4. On the job

    Prepare. Do the work. Invoice. Get paid.

    Every job moves through the same four steps, so nothing waits for the evening paperwork — the invoice is ready when the work is.

  5. Proof of the work

    Parts, labour and photos, on the job.

    Add materials and labour as you go, take what you used off the van's stock, and snap before-and-after photos. The invoice is built from it.

  6. Between visits

    Every reply lands in one inbox.

    Appointment reminders and on-my-way texts go out on your own business number, and when the customer replies it lands in the same conversation.

  7. The week ahead

    Your calendar, already filled in.

    Jobs sync to Google Calendar, so the week you plan in Handro is the week on every phone that needs it.

  8. End of the week

    Know where the hours went.

    Clock in with one tap and pick what you're doing — on a job, driving, quoting, picking up supplies. The period's hours add themselves up, split between the jobs and everything else.

    Timesheets by activity

  9. How it's going

    The business, at a glance.

    Customers, active jobs, revenue collected and what's still outstanding, with revenue month by month — on the phone, not only at a desk.

03 / Approach

How we work.

01

Shipped, not slideware

Every product goes live with real customers, real payments and real data — software running in production, not a demo that never leaves the deck.

02

Focused by design

We build deep for one kind of business at a time, instead of a generic tool that almost fits everyone and truly fits no one.

03

Out of the way

Software for the people doing the work: fast, clear, and quiet enough to disappear into the job instead of adding to it.
