Plumbing Software and Invoice App for Small Shops

• Invoice from the job, not from memory

  Most plumbing invoices get written from memory at the kitchen table, hours after the parts and labor are already fuzzy. Handro builds the invoice from the job record itself, so line items, materials and price are already there when you tap send. Add cash, check or Venmo payments by hand, or collect a card payment through your own Stripe or Square account.

• What a plumbing invoice actually needs to show

  A plumbing invoice has to separate labor from materials, or customers start asking questions. Handro tags every line as labor or material, and each line is marked taxable or not. A trip or diagnostic fee can sit on its own line too, right next to the repair. If your price isn't covering your real costs, our guide How to Price a Plumbing Job walks through a worked example.

• Quotes the customer can say yes to on the spot

  Send a Good, Better and Best option on one estimate, so the customer picks a tier instead of redoing the whole quote. They approve and sign right on their phone, so there's no chasing a callback for a yes. Once it's approved, the job and its price are ready to schedule.

• A job day, start to finish

  Say a callout comes in for a leaking water heater. You check the schedule, drive out, and diagnose it on site. Build the Good, Better and Best estimate there, and the customer signs before you start. When the job's done, the invoice pulls from that same estimate, so nothing gets retyped.

• Get paid without carrying a card machine

  Card payments run through your own Stripe or Square account, and Handro adds zero markup on top of it. You still pay your processor's standard rate, billed by them, same as you would anywhere else. Cash, check and Venmo payments record just as easily, so every job's payment status is in one place. Turn on payment reminders and an overdue invoice you emailed through Handro gets a short email at 3 and 7 days past due, with a pay link when you take cards.

• What a plumbing invoice app costs

  Solo is US$14.99 a month for one person. Team is US$49 a month flat for up to 10 people, with the same features on both. Start free on Starter and send a real invoice before you decide.

• What to check before you switch off paper or a spreadsheet

  Handro runs as a website and as iOS and Android apps, so you're not locked into one device. There's no setup fee, and a crew of up to 10 pays one flat price on Team. You can export your data at any time, so switching later never means starting from zero. Starter is free, enough to send a real invoice and see how it feels.
