Simple & practical
Everything your office and field crew actually need
No bloated menus or features you'll never open. Just the essentials that keep your day moving and your cash flow steady.
One-click scheduling
A clean calendar with drag-and-drop jobs. Techs get an instant text with the address, the customer notes, and directions.
Replaces: the whiteboard and group texts
Instant tap-to-sign quotes
Build a clear, itemized quote on a phone or tablet in front of the customer. They approve with a finger tap before the crew leaves the driveway.
Replaces: Word and Excel quote sheets
Same-day mobile invoicing
Send a secure payment link by text the moment the job wraps. Customers pay by card or bank transfer — no paper slips in the glovebox.
Replaces: chasing checks for 45 days
Customer & job history
Serial numbers, filter sizes, gate codes, install photos, and past service notes — all in one fast search box the field team can open in seconds.
Replaces: the lost paper binder
Built for dirty hands
The field app is three big buttons
Your technicians don't need training videos. They tap Arrived, add photos, and get the signature. That's the whole job on their phone — and it keeps working when the signal is weak.
- Works with a weak cell signal
- No menus to get lost in
- Photos and signatures saved to the job automatically

You own your software, database, and customer list — not us.
Flat one-time build price. No per-seat fees, no yearly price hikes.
You don't pay the final balance until your crew is running on it.
We import your existing spreadsheets and customer records before day one.
Support goes straight to the person who built your system.
Simple monthly hosting for the whole company — not per truck.
Honest pricing

Questions trade owners ask us
What if my older technicians won't use technology? +
That's exactly why we build custom instead of handing you a generic app. Their screen has big buttons and three actions: Arrived, Add Photos, Get Signature. We also train each person one-on-one until they're comfortable.
Do I need to hire an IT person or know how to code? +
No. We manage the servers, the database, updates, and security. When you want a change, you call or email your Nelu Code contact and we handle it.
Can we keep our current customer list and invoice numbers? +
Yes. We take your existing Excel files, QuickBooks customer list, or paper records and import them cleanly before you go live, so you don't lose any history.
What happens on the 15-minute call? +
You walk us through how your jobs, dispatch, and billing work today and what frustrates you most. We tell you honestly whether we can help, roughly what it would cost, and how long it would take. No pressure, no obligation.
