The right handyman for the list
Handyman dispatch software
Handyman dispatch software for teams where one person hangs drywall and another wires a ceiling fan. Each visit's tasks set which skill tags matter, the board shows who has room this afternoon, and the routes page keeps a day of small jobs in one part of town.
A short tour of the screens this page describes. It is filmed with our demo pest control company, and every trade runs on the same screens.

“We run every customer conversation through Smarfle. Texts, emails and reminders are in one place, our customers love paying with Apple Pay, and when we are busy or closed the text bot answers new leads for us.”
Skills for mixed lists
Tag handymen for light electrical, plumbing fixtures, drywall or tile. When the visit's main service needs the electrical tag, the job form warns if the assignee lacks it.
Team and skillsAfternoon gaps filled
Short jobs often finish early. The board shows who is free, and a waiting two-hour visit can be dragged into that gap.
Dispatch boardOne side of town
Build Route places waiting visits by distance within each handyman's hours, so five small jobs do not mean five crosstown drives.
Route optimizationLandlord jobs on the board
Property manager work orders arrive with unit numbers and tenant phones, and the assigned handyman sees entry notes on the phone.
Customer recordsExtra tasks from the field
When the homeowner adds a fix, the handyman adds it to the job on the phone and taps Running late if it pushes the next stop.
