Appliance repair techs visit 6–10 homes per day, documenting model numbers, failure symptoms, parts used, and warranty claim information at each stop. Paper work orders that lose the model number or have an illegible serial number mean OEM warranty claims get rejected — turning covered repairs into out-of-pocket losses that the tech or the shop absorbs.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to quoting & invoicing and appliance repair workflows.
A tech diagnoses a failed compressor on a high-end refrigerator and quotes the repair verbally — $580 parts and labor — to the homeowner who agrees. The invoice arrives a week later and includes a $45 refrigerant recovery charge the homeowner didn't know was part of the scope.
Surprise line items on appliance repair invoices are disputed on 12–18% of compressor and sealed-system jobs — the regulatory fees and add-on charges that weren't in the verbal quote trigger payment delays averaging 21 days.

These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the quoting & invoicing gap. That's what we build.
We study exactly where quoting & invoicing happens in your appliance repair operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the quoting & invoicing problem, you don't pay.
