WorkOrders

Built around how the work actually arrives

Not a scheduling product with email bolted on. WorkOrders starts at the inbox, because that is where a trades job starts — and follows it all the way to a closed-out record you can export.

What you get today

Everything below is in the product now. Try all of it during the trial.

Email-to-work-order

Connect Gmail or any IMAP mailbox. Requests become work orders with the original message, its thread and every attachment kept alongside.

AI triage

A plain-English summary, an urgency read, and the site, contact and trade pulled out of the message — all editable before anyone acts on them.

Attachment descriptions

Photos that arrive with a job are described in words, so a picture of a failed valve is findable six months later.

Dispatch and assignment

Give a job to a technician and it is on their phone with everything attached. New, assigned, ongoing, completed — four states people will actually keep current.

iPhone app for the field

Today's jobs, the details, the photos, and status changes that land back in the office the moment they are tapped.

Automatic customer updates

Status emails go out as a reply to the customer's own message, from your firm, with your sign-off — not from software they have never heard of.

Customers and sites

Every job hangs off a customer and an address, so the history of a building is one click from the job you are looking at.

CSV and reports

Pull completed work out by date range for invoicing, payroll or a client who wants a summary. The same export the legacy system produced, byte for byte.

Roles that make sense

Owner, admin, technician. Technicians see their work; they do not see the reports containing every customer address and completion note.

Ingestion

Connect the mailbox you already use

IMAP is the launch path and works with any provider, including Gmail with an app password. Point it at the address your customers already email and requests start becoming jobs.

Gmail over OAuth is in beta. It works, but Google's restricted-scope verification is still in progress, so a connected Gmail account needs reconnecting periodically until that clears. We'd rather tell you that now than have it surprise you in week two.

Processed mail is labelled, never deleted and never moved to trash. The legacy system deleted what it consumed, and one downstream failure destroyed a customer's request with nothing to replay. That is not a mistake this rebuild is allowed to repeat.

Triage

A suggestion, never a decision

The model reads the message and fills in what it can find: a summary, an urgency, the site, the contact and the trade. Every one of those lands in a normal editable field.

Nothing is sent to a customer off the back of it. Nothing is auto-assigned. If the extraction is wrong, you fix the field — and the original email is sitting right there to check against.

Plumbing — leak / water ingress

The original email is kept in full, attachments and all. Every extracted field is editable — you have the last word, not the model.

Mobile

What the technician sees

An iPhone app with today's jobs, the full detail of each one, the photos that came in with it, and a status they can move in three taps from the back of the van.

Firms migrating from the legacy system keep the app they already have: the old API still answers, byte for byte, so nobody has to be retrained on the day you switch the office over.

iPhone only for now — Android is below.

Not yet

What we're working on, and what we're not

None of this exists today. It is listed because people ask, and because the honest answer to "do you do X" is more useful than a page that implies you do. Nothing here is a delivery commitment or a date.

Coming

Xero integration

Push completed work through to invoicing instead of exporting a CSV and re-keying it. The most-asked-for thing on this list, and not built yet.

Coming

Android app

Today the field app is iPhone only. An Android crew can still use the web app on a phone browser, but it is not the same experience and we will not pretend otherwise.

Coming

Gmail out of beta

Google restricted-scope verification, including an annual third-party security assessment. Under way. Until it lands, IMAP is the path we recommend.

Coming

Scheduled maintenance

Recurring jobs that raise themselves — backflow tests, filter changes, the annual round.

Coming

Customer portal

A place for a property manager to see their own jobs without emailing to ask.

Coming

Annual billing

Monthly only right now. An annual option with the usual discount is on the list.

See it against your own inbox

Connect a mailbox on the trial and watch a week of real requests turn into jobs. That is the only demo that ever convinces anyone.
