One great tech can grow a business.A system grows the whole team.
Most shops lean on one guy. When he is not on the call, the work slips, and the money slips with it. Axel™ rides in every tech's pocket and runs the job the way your best guy would. Built for residential sewer and drain shops running 1 to 4 trucks.
The Leak
The money leaves before you ever see it.
Camera goes down. Tech says "looks good for now." A four or five figure repair drives off to whoever they call next. Run your own numbers.
Assumes 15% of those jobs walk on a weak close.
Work walking across the street
per year
This is your math, not ours. The system exists to close that gap.
This is the text you got Tuesday.
No footage. A pipe size he guessed at. A four figure repair he handed to the homeowner to "think about."
Danny · Field Tech
422 Oak St · Job Update
Your guy gave them a guess. The franchise gave them a system.
What actually happens in the basement
Three steps. Every job. Every truck.
The camera goes in the line.
Your tech runs the inspection like always. Nothing new to learn.
Works with the tools you already run.
Housecall Pro, Jobber, or any platform with an open API. Your scheduling and invoicing stay where they are. FieldMetrx™ is the field layer that rides on top.
One trade. One system.
FieldMetrx™ runs the job in the basement, not just the paperwork in the office.
- Every job diagnosed the same way, whoever's holding the camera.
- Every call documented with photos and a report the homeowner trusts.
- Every proposal built in tiers, so the ticket matches the real work.
TrenchCam
Captures the proof, classifies the defect, and files it under the job automatically.
The Proposal Engine
Builds a tiered offer on-site with financing already in it, so the homeowner sees the path forward, not just the price.
The Bulletproof Back-End
Signed record, automatic review request, and a timestamped paper trail before the truck leaves the street.
want the price before they decide, not a quote next week
pick the upgrade when a tech shows three options on a screen
check reviews first, and the big shops automate the ask
bigger tickets once every tech runs the same option system
Industry research, not FieldMetrx data. Sources reviewed on request.
Built for your shop. Not the franchise.
Residential sewer and drain. $1M to $3M a year on 1 to 4 trucks. Already on ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or spreadsheets.
If you run real work and want it run right every time, this was built for you.
What got you to $1M is the same thing keeping you there.
You got here on hustle. Your instinct, your hours, your back. Most guys never do it and you did. The next two million does not come from more of that. It comes from the shop being able to run a job the way you would run it when you are nowhere near the basement.
06 · What Changes
What changes when the system is installed.
Inside 30 Days
- Every tech, green or senior, explains the same five defects the same way
- Every job ends with a signed Homeowner Record in her email before the truck leaves the street
- Review requests fire automatically at the moment she's most likely to leave a five-star
- Chargebacks get fought with a timestamped paper trail, not a phone call
Inside 90 Days
- Brand-new techs start walking out of basements with signed high-ticket repairs
- Your best tech stops threatening to quit because the awkward part of the job is gone
- You stop being the only person in the shop who can close
- The owner gets his Monday back
What your phone starts looking like
This is the system small shops have been trying to build on their own for ten years and never finishing. We finished it. You just install it.
Our process to fix the
closing problem.
A five-phase install that turns one good tech into a shop-wide system. You are not buying a login.
THE RIDE ALONG
We go through your last 90 days with you. Your pricing, your defects, the jobs you lost and the reason you lost them. You keep that read either way.
THE BUILD
Your flat rate book, your five defects, your tiers, your financing. Loaded and calibrated to your shop, not a template with your logo on it. This is where Axel learns how you run.
THE CALIBRATION
Every tech gets set to his real experience level, by you, during onboarding. Green guys get coached. Senior guys get out of the way. Nobody sounds like he's reading off a card.
THE FIRST 30 DAYS
Your guys run live jobs on it while we watch the tape with you. When a job stalls, we fix the system instead of blaming the tech. You talk to the build team direct the whole time.
THE COMPOUND
Every job feeds the next one. Your shop builds its own history: what closed, what stalled, what a job like this actually cost last time. That is the part a franchise can't sell you and a competitor can't copy.
Software ships. A system gets installed. That difference is the whole business.
07 · The Part Nobody Tells You
This isn't just a tool. It's the thing that turns your shop into something worth selling.
Here's what the big plumbing companies understand that small shops don't.
A drain shop without a system is worth roughly the value of its trucks and its current backlog. That's it. The owner walks away, the business walks away with him, and the buyer pays for sheet metal and a phone list.
A drain shop running a real field operating system is a completely different asset class.
- Every job is documented the same way
- Every tech runs the same field language
- Every customer gets the same Homeowner Record
- Every chargeback has a paper trail
- Every review is captured on schedule
Sellable
A buyer sees a business, not just trucks.
Fundable
Lenders and partners can underwrite it.
A multiple
Private equity sees value, not a paycheck.
Shops with a real operating system in place routinely change hands at multiples several times higher than shops without one. Whether you ever plan to sell or not, you should be running your shop like an asset, not a job.
A $2M shop that runs on one guy is a job that pays $2M. A $2M shop that runs on a system is worth something. Same revenue. Different asset.
You can keep grinding for the next ten years, or you can install the system that makes the next ten years build something you can actually walk away from.
We put it in writing.
WE BUILD IT WITH YOU
We install it, train your techs, and stay on until every truck is running the system. Not a login and a good luck.
YOU TALK TO THE BUILD TEAM DIRECT
Something breaks or you need a change, you reach the people who built it. No ticket queue, no call center.
YOUR RATE IS LOCKED FOR LIFE
Founders Circle terms on every module we build. The next shops in pay more.
Founders Circle
Three spots. Then it closes.
The first shops in, at the lowest rate FieldMetrx™ will ever offer. Locked for life. Application only. We are signing the right few, not everyone.
