What it actually does

Operations, money, and communications in one workspace.

Not a pile of add-ons. The product ships with the records field-service and sales teams live in every day — and the public surfaces customers actually use.

Records

People and accounts

Contacts, customers, and vendors with physical, mailing, and shipping addresses. Custom fields. CSV import. Multi-select customer merge: pick a master, choose field values, archive duplicates, and move appointments, invoices, contacts, and plans.

Catalog

Products, services, stock

Sell products and book services from one catalog. Inventory-tracked products get receive and adjust movements with reasons and history. Line items pull price and tax onto invoices.

Money

Invoices and tax

Draft, send, and collect. State sales tax. Stripe Checkout and Connect. Catalog payment-link buttons on invoices and appointments (open or Email). Dashboard charts for paid revenue, aging, and status mix.

Field

Appointments and a mobile-friendly page

Day / Week / Month calendar, time-off blocks, company timezone. Photograph the nameplate, Analyze labels, keep AI Notes separate from tech notes. Create a consultant share link (time, notes, AI Notes, photos — no CRM login). Mobile: Home, Today/Tomorrow, Call Client, Maps, notes, invoices, chat.

Public

Book Now, portal, reviews

Customers sign in by email or text (Twilio). Book a slot or request products. Portal shows appointments, media, invoices, reviews, and Reschedule inside your hours-before-visit window. Header link back to Book Now. Embed reviews on your marketing site.

Growth

Pipeline, campaigns, chat

Kanban deals. Visual email designer. SMS snippets. Team chat with photo and video. Company email and SMS alerts on new customers and bookings. Staff reminders from My profile (email and/or text, up to three lead times).

Paperwork

E-signing and HRM

PDF signing desk for CRM and HRM: fields, multi-party order, public sign links, executed copies. HRM workspace for employees and contractors, W-9 uploads, payouts, and 1099 drafts.

Automation competitors charge extra for

Workflows, webhooks, and a permission matrix that actually gates the API.

Ordered workflow steps

Trigger on invoice paid, payment links opened, deal won, appointment confirmed, customer verified, and more. Chain email, SMS, and Zulip in order. Default payment-link email and SMS workflows ship ready.

HMAC outbound webhooks

Subscribe Make.com or your own listener. Inbound POST with a shared secret. Dual-run warning if a workflow and a webhook share the same event.

Roles that mean something

Administrator is locked with every permission. Manager, Sales, and Staff are editable. Navigation and REST endpoints honor the same matrix. Teams group users inside the one company.
