HOME SERVICES APP DEVELOPMENT
Scheduling, dispatch, on-site invoicing, and customer texts in one app your techs use in the truck — built around your dispatch rules and your locations, not a platform's. You own it, and there's no per-seat bill.
A custom app for a home-services business is a scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and customer-communication app built specifically for one operator — its crews, its service area, its pricing, and the way it actually books and routes jobs — instead of bending the business to fit a generic field-service platform. It puts the job board, the tech's day, on-site quotes and payment, and customer texts in one tool that works in the field, and it belongs to the company that paid for it. Operators choose custom over off-the-shelf software like ServiceTitan or Jobber when their dispatch logic, multi-location structure, or pricing model doesn't fit the box — and to escape per-seat pricing that punishes them for hiring.
You started on a field-service platform because it was the fastest way to get off paper. Now you're working around it every day. The dispatch board can't see the rule that a senior tech has to ride every install. Your second location shares a customer list it shouldn't. The pricing engine can't do the tiered, per-zone, seasonal math your office does in its head. And every time you hire, the bill goes up — you're paying per seat to grow, then paying again for the add-on modules that should have come standard. The software was supposed to run the business. Instead the business runs around the software, and the gaps get filled with spreadsheets, group texts, and a dispatcher who keeps it all in their head.
We build one app that matches how you already dispatch, price, and invoice — your rules, your locations, your service area — and put it in your crews' hands in the field. It's the same kind of product we already operate: WebDevAuto runs a Field Ops product that does home-services scheduling and dispatch, so we're not learning the trade on your money. A focused first version ships in a matter of weeks, the full multi-location product runs $40,000 to $150,000+, and the engineers who build it can keep running it after launch. You own the codebase either way.
Senior tech required on installs, drive-time limits, skill-and-equipment matching, the rule only your dispatcher knows — we build the board around how you actually assign work, instead of forcing your jobs into someone else's scheduling model.
Techs see their day, log work, capture photos, and collect payment in the driveway whether or not there are bars in the basement or the back forty. The app holds the job and syncs the moment it reconnects — no lost tickets, no 'I'll enter it tonight.'
Off-the-shelf platforms charge for every crew member you add. Your app doesn't. Bring on a new tech, open a third location, run a seasonal surge crew — the cost of the software doesn't move because you grew.
Separate boards, shared price books, location-level reporting, and a head-office view across all of it — structured to match your franchise or branch setup instead of the flat, one-account shape most field-service tools assume.
Those platforms are a fast, capable starting point, and for a single-location shop with standard workflows they're often the right call. Custom wins when your dispatch logic, pricing model, or multi-location structure keeps forcing workarounds, when per-seat pricing punishes you for hiring, or when you want to own the tool instead of renting it. If you're already paying for add-on modules and still filling gaps with spreadsheets, you've outgrown the box.
Custom builds run $40,000 to $150,000+. A focused first version — your scheduling, dispatch, and field invoicing for one location — sits near the low end around $40k. A full product with multiple user types, multi-location structure, custom pricing logic, payments, customer texting, and a back office reaches the high end at $150k+. There's no per-seat fee, so the cost doesn't climb every time you add a tech.
A first shippable version is a matter of weeks, not quarters. We start with the part of your day that hurts most — usually dispatch and on-site invoicing — get it into the field fast, and build out the rest while your crews are already using it. You see real software running your real jobs early, instead of waiting months for a big-bang launch.
Yes. The app is built so a tech can pull up their schedule, log a job, take photos, capture a signature, and run a card in the driveway with no connection. Everything queues locally and syncs automatically when the phone gets signal again. Spotty coverage in basements, crawlspaces, and rural routes is the norm in this trade, so it's designed for that, not patched for it.
You own the codebase. No platform lock-in, no per-seat ransom, no losing your data if you stop paying a subscription. Extend it yourself, hand it to another engineer, or have us keep building and running it — your call. That ownership is the whole point of going custom instead of signing up for another field-service platform.
KEEP EXPLORING
Walk us through one day of dispatch and one workaround you're tired of. We'll tell you straight whether an off-the-shelf platform still fits or whether a custom app pays for itself — and what a first version would cost and how fast your crews could be using it. Builds run $40,000 to $150,000+, and the first shippable version lands in weeks.
