Custom systems

Custom field service software built on the ServiceBase platform

Engineered for mobile from the ground up. Never lose data or revenue in the field.

Founder-led · Running in production since 2019 · Built in Austin, TX

Most shops don't need custom software. Some do.

The usual choice is bad in both directions. Off-the-shelf field service software makes you run your business the way the software expects, and a from-scratch build means paying someone to reinvent scheduling, dispatch, and a mobile app before they get anywhere near your actual problem — on a timeline that slips and a budget that doesn't hold.

There is a third option. ServiceBase is a working field service platform today, running commercial HVAC and refrigeration shops in production. The scheduling, dispatch, work orders, equipment history, and offline-first mobile app are built and maintained. You pay for the part that's yours, and it ships on top of software that works on day one.

Where custom work usually lands

Custom workflows

The way your shop actually books, dispatches, and closes work — not a configuration screen bent until it almost fits.

Specialized integrations

Accounting, parts suppliers, customer portals, telematics. If it has an API, it can be wired in.

Data migration from legacy systems

Customers, sites, equipment, and service history brought over from whatever you're on today, including systems nobody supports anymore.

Industry-specific functionality

Compliance logging, refrigerant tracking, contract billing — the things your trade needs and general-purpose software never quite covers.

Multi-location rollout

Divisions, branches, and separate crews on one system, with the reporting to see across all of them.

API access

Your data, reachable from your own tools. No export request, no professional services ticket.

Scoped and quoted before you commit

No open-ended engagement, no hourly meter. A price and a date, agreed up front.

A working session on your data

Not a demo. We sit down with how your shop actually runs — your jobs, your sites, your equipment — and find where the standard platform fits and where it doesn't.

A scope, a price, and a date

What gets built and what doesn't, one number, and one delivery date — agreed in writing before you sign. Not an hourly estimate or a range that drifts.

Built, delivered, and supported

On the same platform that already runs commercial shops in production, supported by the person who built it.

What you're building on

Scheduling, dispatch, work orders, and equipment history — offline-first, in production, not in a roadmap.

Common questions

What does custom work cost?
It's priced on scope, above the standard $15,000 a year. We agree the number and the delivery date in writing before you sign — there's no hourly meter and no change-order treadmill.
Is this a from-scratch build?
No. Everything is built on the ServiceBase platform, which has been running commercial HVAC and refrigeration shops in production since 2019. You're paying for the part that's specific to you, not for scheduling and dispatch to be invented again.
How long does it take?
It depends entirely on scope, which is exactly why the delivery date is part of the quote rather than something discovered later. Small integrations land in weeks; a multi-location rollout with legacy migration is longer.
What if the standard platform already does what we need?
Then we'll tell you that and you'll buy the standard plan. The working session is how both of us find out, and it's worth having before you pay for anything custom.
Who builds and supports it?
The same person who builds ServiceBase. There is no offshore team, no account manager between you and the work, and no support queue to escalate through.
Do we own what gets built?
You run on it for as long as you're a customer, and your data is always yours to export. The platform itself stays ServiceBase — that's what keeps it maintained and improving rather than frozen the day it ships.
