The operating system your service business deserves.
Car washes, gas delivery, auto shops, cleaning crews, and fleet operators all need the same connected surfaces. We have shipped the control center, customer app, and driver app five times over. SMS plus spreadsheets will always cost more than real software in the long run.
Three useful ways to start.
Each path is fixed-scope before work begins. The first call is about choosing the smallest version that proves the workflow.
A focused web portal for booking, customer intake, status updates, payments, and a simple owner dashboard.
A branded customer mobile app with booking, tracking, payment, history, and a paired admin dashboard.
Operator dashboard, customer app, driver or field app, notifications, payments, and live job state across roles.
A simple path from interest to build.
No open-ended discovery engagement. If the fit is real, the next step is a written scope and a deposit invoice.
20-min call
We confirm the practice area, client flow, deadline, and what should stay out of scope.
Written scope
Within 48 hours, you get the feature list, timeline, launch responsibilities, and fixed price.
Deposit
When you approve the scope, we issue a deposit invoice and schedule the build window.
Build
You review working software on staging every few days until launch.
Three things your last vendor probably got wrong.
We've shipped this exact pattern
AutoMexa, LavaSistema, Figgo Enterprise, and Figgo Gas are four operational platforms live right now. Every one uses the same three-surface pattern: control center, customer app, and field app.
Built for the floor, not the boardroom
Your drivers do not care about the dashboard. Your dispatchers do not care about the customer app. We design each surface for the person actually using it, not a generic user persona.
Real-time or nothing
Job status has to sync in both directions in seconds. We build on WebSockets and proper state instead of polling every 30 seconds and pretending it is live.
Concretely, here's what ships.
- A web control center: operator dashboard, dispatch, live job map, reporting
- A customer-facing mobile app: booking, tracking, payment, history, repeat orders
- A driver / field mobile app: job list, live navigation, proof-of-delivery, offline support
- Shared backend + role-based access so owner, dispatcher, driver, and customer see only what they need
- Billing, SMS notifications, and payout flow wired to Stripe + Twilio
- App Store + Google Play submission for both consumer and driver apps
What practices ask us before they sign.
We're running on WhatsApp, SMS, and Google Sheets. Isn't that fine?
It works until it does not. Usually around 50 to 100 active customers a day, the manual coordination breaks and you lose revenue through dropped jobs, no-show drivers, or billing errors. Custom software pays for itself somewhere between those two numbers. We have seen it happen on every platform we have shipped.
Do you build the driver app or do we use something like Onfleet?
We do both. If Onfleet fits your workflow, we will wire into it. If it does not, we build a custom driver app that does exactly what your drivers need and nothing more.
What if our business is tiny, like a single-owner car wash?
Start with just the customer app + owner dashboard. LavaSistema started that way. Add the driver / field app when you actually need it. No point building what you can't yet justify.
How much does this cost for a service business?
A starter workflow portal is usually $12k-$18k. A customer app plus simple admin is usually $20k-$35k. A three-surface platform with an operator dashboard, customer app, and driver app is usually $40k-$75k all-in. We send a fixed-scope quote within 48 hours of the intake, with no surprises.
