Handyman App: The Complete Guide for Handyman Techs and Owners

The Phone Is the Office in the Truck

For a handyman tech, the phone is where the day lives: where to go, what to do there, how to get in and how to get paid. A good tech app replaces the clipboard, the text thread and the call to the office.

What It Should Do

• Show the day's jobs in order, with navigation.
• Show the customer's list on every job.
• Show the items on the house and the access notes.
• Let the tech tick off tasks, log hours and materials, and take photos.
• Create the invoice on completion and charge the card on file.
• Send on-the-way and arrived texts automatically.
• Work in places with no signal.

How HandymanBossPro Does It

Techs log in with a company login and a personal PIN on any iPhone or Android, no app store needed. Their jobs show in route order. Each card has navigation, the list, the house items, access notes and past notes. They tap Start, do the work, fill in the checklist with hours and materials, take before and after photos, and tap Complete. The invoice is created and the card can be charged.

For Owners

The app isn't just for techs. Owner-operators run the whole day from it, and owners with crews use it to see exactly what was done at each house without calling anyone.

The Rest of This Series

The guides that follow go through each part of the app in the order a tech uses it, from logging in to the last job of the day.
