Change order software for field service contractors

Capture the extra work before it eats the job.

A field-first workflow for plumbers, AV installers, and small contractor teams who need onsite scope changes documented, approved, and ready for invoicing without buying a full FSM operating system.

3 min

to log a field change before it turns into a phone thread

1 link

for client approval, whether the crew is plumbing or AV

0 margin leaks

from verbal signoff and scattered job notes

Field Capture

Three panels. One clear yes.

The product experience is intentionally narrow: log the change, price the delta, send the approval, and move on.

Scope note

Existing gas run blocks original supply route.

Price impact

+6 labor hours, hose bib hardware, markup.

Client decision

Approve before crews continue work.

Photo backup

Attach site conditions to the same record so the office is not chasing phone galleries later.

Invoice packet

Labor, materials, signature, and notes land in one printable summary.

Why It Works

Narrow beats broad when the problem is extra work.

Jobber, Housecall Pro, and Buildertrend prove contractors buy workflow software. This product wins by refusing to become another scheduling, dispatch, or CRM suite on day one.

Field-first mobile capture

Large tap targets, fast note entry, and a layout built for one hand in a driveway or mechanical room.

Trade-specific language

Plumbers, AV installers, and small contractors do not need a bloated CRM to explain extra work and get paid for it.

Invoice-ready documentation

Every captured change rolls into a structured summary that the office can print, email, or attach to invoicing.

Approval before the wrench turns

The core product promise is simple: document the change, price it, and get a clear answer before scope expands.

Workflow

Fast enough for the field.

The flow is built for driveway, jobsite, rack room, or mechanical room use. Big type, immediate totals, and one summary that the client can actually read.

Capture the scope change onsite

Techs log what changed, why it changed, and what labor or material impact it creates while the details are still fresh.

Send a clean client approval link

Instead of text screenshots and verbal yeses, the client sees one summary, one price delta, and one clear decision.

Hand the office invoice-ready documentation

Approved scope, labor, materials, photos, and signoff are packaged into one record the back office can bill from.

Trade Landing Pages

Built to rank for the exact pain, not broad FSM fluff.

The PRD calls for narrow, high-intent pages by trade, use case, comparison, and template search intent. Those routes are all live below.

Use Case

Invoice-Ready Job Documentation

Turn onsite scope changes into invoice-ready documentation with approved pricing, notes, photos, and timestamps.

Use Case

Onsite Scope Change Approval

Handle onsite scope changes with a simple approval flow that gives contractors proof before work continues.

When a client adds two fixtures after demo, we need paperwork before the crew keeps moving. This would stop the margin bleed immediately.

Owner, 6-truck plumbing shop

Install scope always changes in the room. I need the PM and client to see the impact without opening a giant project platform.

Keep it mobile

Built for one-handed use in the field, not a desktop back office.
