Custom business apps

Your shop, your way Web · iOS · Desktop

Software that runs your shop the way you already do.

Dispatch, scheduling, quotes, payments, live production boards: one app for the whole shop, or a small one for each department. It’s built around the way your business already runs, so your crew doesn’t have to learn a new way to work.

A dispatch app for a plumbing contractor. A new job comes in: send a van, and watch the app take it from there.

What you get

Jobs, customers and payments in one place, not on a whiteboard and five spreadsheets
Screens made for each job: the office, the truck, the shop floor
Texts and updates that go out on their own
Live numbers you can check from your phone
An app that’s yours, set up with your real jobs and customers

Built for

01
Plumbing contractor
A job comes in, the closest van gets it, the customer gets an “on my way” text, and the quote is signed and paid on site.
02
Hair salon
A chair-by-chair calendar, online booking that fills the gaps, reminder texts and checkout with tips, all in one app.
03
Manufacturing plant
A small app at every station: the laser’s cut queue, the weld cell’s checks, scan to ship at the dock. Every department, its own app.

AI agents

Busywork, handled A crew of AI agents

A crew that takes the busywork off your plate.

An AI agent is a small piece of software that does one job on its own: it reads the inbox, books the appointment, texts the customer, sends the invoice. A crew of them works together on the bigger jobs, and they check the big calls with you before they act.

Pick a message a customer might send, and hand it to the crew. Each bot does its part, and you make the one call that’s yours.

What you get

Every call, text, email and web form answered and sorted
Bookings, reminders and follow-ups that go out on their own
Invoices sent and chased without anyone having to remember
The big calls brought to you: refunds, discounts, anything unusual
A report of what the crew did, whenever you want one

Built for

01
HVAC
A heat wave floods the phones. The crew answers every call, books the repairs by area and texts each customer a time.
02
Auto repair
The crew books the oil changes, sends the reminders and the “your car’s ready” texts, and chases the unpaid invoices.
03
Lawn care
Rain on Tuesday: the crew moves every stop to Wednesday and texts each customer the new day.

iPhone & iPad apps

In your crew’s pocket iPhone · iPad

Apps for your crew in the field, your front desk and your customers.

Your crew carries a phone all day. An app made for their job puts the checklist, the photos, the route and the customer’s OK in their pocket, and the front desk sees it all on an iPad as it happens.

An auto shop’s inspection app. Mark what the tech finds, send it to the customer, and see what the front desk sees.

What you get

Checklists, photos and signatures right on the job
An iPad board for the front desk that updates as the crew works
Customers who approve the work and pay from their own phone
Made for gloves, glare and one free hand
On the App Store under your name, or just for your team

Websites & web apps

Made to book the work Sites · Web apps

A website that books the work, and tools your team opens anywhere.

A website designed for your business, not a template: fast on every phone, easy to find, and it does something, like booking a job or taking a request. Behind it, browser tools and live dashboards your team can open from anywhere, with nothing to install.

Pick a business and watch its site build itself, then book a job on it, on a computer or on a phone.

What you get

A site that looks right on every phone, tablet and computer
Online booking and request forms that land right in your app
Built so search engines and AI assistants can find you
Browser tools and live dashboards, nothing to install

Hoist’s crew · 01

Hoist

Foreman the orchestrator agent

The little robot on our logo, and the boss of the crew.

Hoist runs the crew. A big job comes in, he splits it into small ones, hands each to the bot that does it best, checks every one gets done and tells you when it all is. In real life he’s the orchestrator agent: the one that turns “a new customer just called” into every step that follows.

Says: “Crew, roll out!”
Loves: His crew, and a job with every box checked
Can’t stand: The word BUSINESS (it’s heavy)
Fun fact: He rides the logo’s underline on our homepage. Press and hold him there for his party trick.

What he’s great at

Splitting a big job into small steps he can check off
Handing each step to the right bot, and knowing who’s busy
Following up until every step is done
Calling you in only for the decisions that need you

On the job

01
Plumbing contractor
A new customer calls about a leak. Hoist has Sorta log the job, Tick book the visit, Zip text the ETA and Tally send the invoice once the job’s marked done: one call, four hand-offs, nothing typed twice.
02
Hair salon
At closing time Hoist checks that tomorrow’s reminders went out, the no-shows got a link to rebook, and the product order went in.
03
Manufacturing plant
A rush order lands. Hoist has Beep check the stock, Spec draw up the job plan, and Stamp ask the manager to OK the overtime.

Works with

He radios the whole crew.

Next upSorta, the inbox sorter

Hoist’s crew · 02

Sorta

Inbox sorter the triage agent

She reads everything that comes in, so you don’t have to.

Sorta reads every email, text, voicemail and web form the minute it lands, works out what it is and who it’s for, and sends it on: a booking to Tick, a bill to Tally, a question to you. The junk never reaches you.

Says: “Sorted!”
Loves: An empty inbox
Can’t stand: Reply-all
Fun fact: She reads with her reading glasses on.

What she’s great at

Reading every message, even the ones at 2 AM
Telling a booking from a quote request from a complaint
Pulling out the details: who, where, what’s wrong, how urgent
Sending each one to the right bot or person, and flagging the urgent ones

On the job

01
Plumbing contractor
A 2 AM text says “water everywhere”. Sorta flags it urgent, pages the tech on call and lets the customer know help is coming.
02
Hair salon
Instagram DMs, Google messages and the website’s form all ask for appointments. Sorta turns each one into a booking for Tick, with the service and the stylist.
03
Manufacturing plant
Requests for quotes arrive with drawings attached. Sorta pulls out the part numbers and quantities and routes them to estimating.

Works with

She sends the work on to whoever does it.

Next upTick, the scheduler

Hoist’s crew · 03

Tick

Scheduler the booking agent

He keeps the calendar full and the no-shows down.

Tick books appointments, sends the reminders, and fills a cancelled slot before it goes to waste. He knows who’s free, how long each job takes and how far apart the addresses are.

Says: “Booked!”
Loves: A full calendar with no double bookings
Can’t stand: No-shows
Fun fact: He hops on the beat: 128 beats a minute, the tempo of our promo.

What he’s great at

Booking from a text, a call or a web form
Reminders that cut the no-shows
Filling cancellations from a waitlist
Rescheduling everyone when a day goes sideways

On the job

01
Hair salon
A client cancels at 9 AM. Tick texts the waitlist, and the 11:30 is rebooked before the salon opens.
02
HVAC
In a heat wave Tick books the service calls by area, so each tech’s day is a loop, not a zigzag.
03
Auto repair
Tick books the oil changes, sends a reminder the day before and asks for the mileage.

Works with

Next upZip, the messenger

Hoist’s crew · 04

Zip

Messenger the messaging agent

He keeps every customer in the loop, in seconds.

Zip sends the texts and emails your customers are waiting for: the confirmation, the “on my way”, the “your car is ready”, the thank-you and the review request. Each one is written for that customer and sent at the right moment.

Says: “On my way!”
Loves: A customer who writes back “thanks!”
Can’t stand: “Per my last email”
Fun fact: He never walks anywhere.

What he’s great at

Confirmations and follow-ups, right on time
Answering the easy questions: hours, prices, where to park
Asking happy customers for a review

Next upTally, the bookkeeper

Hoist’s crew · 05

Tally

Bookkeeper the billing agent

She gets you paid, and keeps the books straight.

Tally sends the invoice the minute a job is done, chases the ones that are late (politely, then a little less politely), matches every payment to its invoice and has the books ready for your accountant.

Says: “Ka-ching!”
Loves: The PAID stamp
Can’t stand: Invoices over 30 days old
Fun fact: She prints a receipt for everything, even compliments.

What she’s great at

Invoices out the moment a job is done
Friendly reminders for late payments
Matching payments to invoices
A clean month-end for your accountant

Next upBeep, the stock counter

Hoist’s crew · 06

Beep

Stock counter the inventory agent

He counts the shelves, so you never run out.

Beep keeps count of what you have, what you’re using and how fast, and orders more before you run out, from the supplier with the best price.

Says: “Beep! 3 left.”
Loves: A full shelf
Can’t stand: Finding the last one gone
Fun fact: He counts everything twice.

What he’s great at

Knowing what’s on the shelf, and what’s in the vans
Reordering before you run out
Spotting what’s selling fast, and what isn’t
Checking deliveries against what was ordered

On the job

01
Hair salon
Color is running low before a busy Saturday. Beep orders it on Wednesday, so it’s in by Friday.
02
Warehouse
Beep counts pick by pick, so the system knows there are 3 left on the shelf, not the 30 it had last month.
03
Plumbing contractor
Each van is restocked with what its tech used on yesterday’s jobs.

Works with

Tally pays for his orders; Stamp OKs the big ones.

Next upScout, the researcher

Hoist’s crew · 07

Scout

Researcher the monitoring agent

He keeps an eye on the world outside your door.

Scout watches what’s said about you and what’s changing around you: new reviews, your competitors’ prices, new bids and permits, the questions people ask online. He tells you what matters and drafts what to do about it.

Next upStamp, the checker

Hoist’s crew · 08

Stamp

Checker the approval agent

He checks the crew’s work, and asks you the big calls.

Stamp checks the work before it goes out and stops anything that needs a person. A refund, a big discount, an order over your limit: he brings it to you with the facts, you tap Approve or Hold it, and the crew carries on.

Says: “Hmph. Approved.”
Loves: A job done right
Can’t stand: Anything going out unchecked
Fun fact: Stern eyebrows, soft heart.

What he’s great at

Checking the crew’s work against your rules
Bringing you the decisions that are yours to make
Keeping a record of who approved what
Holding anything that doesn’t look right

Next upSpec, the planner

Hoist’s crew · 09

Spec

Planner the planning agent

He draws up the plan before anyone builds a thing.

Says: “Let me draw that up.”
Loves: A clear plan
Can’t stand: “Just make it like the other one”

Drafting quotes and estimates from your price list
Writing up the job so everyone builds the same thing

Pixel

Game host the training agent

He makes learning the ropes feel like a game.
