Contractors & Trades

The job is in four places. It should be in one.

Runzek builds custom job, crew, and invoicing software for Western Slope contractors — so the estimate, the schedule, the photos, the hours, and the invoice all live on the same job instead of in four apps and a truck-cab notebook.

Why trades feel this worse

Your office is a truck.

Most business software assumes everyone's at a desk. Contracting doesn't work that way — the person who knows what happened on the job is standing in it, on a phone, wearing gloves.

The day gets logged twice

Crew texts what they did, someone retypes it into the schedule, then again onto the invoice. Every retype is a chance to lose a change order.

Photos live on phones

Before-and-afters and damage shots are the proof that settles a dispute — and they're scattered across camera rolls nobody can search.

Invoices go out last

The job finished Tuesday and the invoice goes out when someone finds a free evening. That gap is your cash flow.

What gets built

One job. Every part of it.

A job is created once, and everything that happens to it attaches to it — who's assigned, what stage it's at, the photos, the hours, the invoice.

A board your whole crew can see

Every job on one board, moving through your stages — not a generic pipeline, the stages your business actually uses.

Phone-first for the field

Crew get a tap-friendly view of just their jobs, with clock-in and stage updates. No dragging tiny cards around with work gloves on.

Photos attached to the job

Shot from the site, filed against the job, and visible to the office immediately — behind a login, not a public link anyone can guess.

Hours that become invoices

Clock-in data and job details flow into the invoice instead of being rekeyed from a text message at 9pm.

Invoices with real numbering

Sequential, collision-safe invoice numbers, overdue tracked automatically, and a printable copy for customers who still want paper.

An assistant over your own data

Ask what's outstanding or who's working today in plain English — and it only answers with what that person is allowed to see.

Custom vs. the big platforms

You're not too small. You're the wrong shape.

The large field-service platforms are real software — they're just sold per seat, per month, forever, and shaped around how their biggest customers work.

Off-the-shelf platform

— Priced per user per month, so growing the crew grows the bill
— You change your process to fit the software
— The feature you need is on a higher tier
— Support is a ticket queue
— Your data lives in their system on their terms

Built for your business

→ Built around the way your jobs already move
→ The stages, roles, and fields are yours
→ Adding a crew member doesn't change the price
→ You call the person who built it
→ Your own database, your own data

How it works

Three steps. No jargon.

Walk me through a job

Start to finish — how it comes in, who touches it, where it stalls. That conversation is the spec.

I build it

You get working software in days, not a mockup in a month. Your crew uses it on real jobs and tells me what's wrong.

It runs

I keep it running, updated, and improving. You never touch a server or an update notice.
