For plumbing contractors growing into commercial work

You outgrew your old software when you took your first commercial job

Most service software stops cold when commercial work comes in. No AIA pay apps. No progress billing. No job costing by phase. Knowify runs your service calls and your commercial projects from one platform, so switching job types doesn't mean switching systems.

The problem

Your service tool was never built for a Friday pay app.

Dispatch is tight. Work orders go out, techs show up, jobs get done. For service calls, the tool works fine.

Then a GC calls. Or a customer asks for a schedule of values. Or you need to track costs by phase across a multi-month commercial project.

That's when your service tool stops cold. No phases. No AIA billing. No progress billing. You end up managing two platforms, doing double data entry, or back on spreadsheets just for the commercial side.

It's not a fault of how you run your business. It's a tool built for one kind of job that's running into another.

"I needed something that could handle my service calls Monday and my commercial pay app on Friday. I couldn't find it until Knowify."

  • Give techs the full job picture in the mobile app — details, notes, customer history
  • One-click invoicing from the job site, collect payment right there
  • Real-time service history for every customer location
  • Maintenance agreements that auto-generate recurring jobs

  • Schedule of values built automatically from your project budget
  • Retainage by phase — tracks automatically, no manual entries
  • Change orders tied directly to your pay app
  • Electronic submission and e-signature built in

"I switched from a service-only tool when I started winning commercial plumbing jobs. Knowify was the only platform that handled both without running two systems. I picked it over other options specifically for that dual capability."
