Founding pilot — open now

Don't take our word for it. Test it in ten minutes.

For owner-led shops running 1–25 trucks. We make two claims worth checking: it keeps working when the signal drops, and your records come out whole whenever you want them. Both are testable right now, by you, without a call and without a card.

No card, no call

Sign up and use it. Nothing renews on its own and nothing is charged during the pilot.

Ten minutes, not a demo

You run the test on your own phone. We are not in the room and nothing is staged.

Leave with your records

Export everything at any time, in a format your bookkeeper opens. No fee, no ticket.

The airplane-mode test.

A contractor put this better than we could: put it in airplane mode, close it, reopen it, do a real job, then reconnect and check nothing was lost. That is the right test, so it is the one we publish.

  1. 01

    Open it and put one job on the board

    Sign up, name the shop, add a customer and book a job against them. No card, no call, nothing to install. Two minutes.

  2. 02

    Turn on airplane mode

    Really turn it on. Not a throttled connection — off. Leave the app open on the job you just booked.

  3. 03

    Close the app completely and reopen it

    Swipe it away. This is the step most apps fail: the shell has to load from the phone, and the session has to survive with no network to check it against.

  4. 04

    Do the work

    Open the job. Mark yourself on the way, then on site. Add notes. Record the diagnosis, the materials and the labour. Record a cash or cheque payment.

  5. 05

    Watch what the header says

    It reads how many changes are held on the phone. Nothing shows a green tick until the office has it — an amber mark means saved here, not saved there.

  6. 06

    Turn the signal back on

    Do nothing else. The queue sends itself in order and the marks turn green. Nothing to press, nothing to reconcile.

Held on the phone, then saved.

The same job screen, seconds apart. On the left the signal is off and the header says the change is being held on the device. On the right it is back and the same change has reached the office. Nobody pressed anything in between.

If your run does not look like this, tell us and we will treat it as a defect rather than a support question.

A JobCard job with no signal. The header reads 1 saving, meaning the change is held on the phone.
No signal — held on the phone
The same JobCard job after the signal returns. The header reads Saved.
Signal back — saved

Take your records and check them.

The question that matters is not whether you can export. It is whether you can leave. Do this on day one, before you have anything to lose.

  1. 01

    Open Your data

    From the menu, More → Your data. It is in the product, not behind a support ticket.

  2. 02

    Export the history

    One click produces your full record — customers, jobs, quotes, invoices, payments — as spreadsheet files your bookkeeper can open.

  3. 03

    Check it without us

    The same screen produces a file you can verify independently in a browser at /verify. If a number ever looks wrong, you are holding the proof rather than asking us for it.

What does not work yet.

You will find these in the first hour, so you should read them in the first minute. We would rather lose the trial than the trust.

NEEDS A CONNECTION

Photos, messages and card payments

Photos are the one field write that needs signal — the file has to be stored before a job can point at it. Take them with your camera and attach them when you are back in range. Customer texts and card payments also need a connection. Cash and cheques record offline.

HOW WE ROLL OUT

Two trucks first, then the rest

Shops from one to twenty-five trucks can join, but nobody starts fleet-wide. Two or three technicians run alongside your current system for a week or two, and we widen when you have seen it hold. We have not yet evidenced twenty-five devices reconnecting at once, and we would rather tell you that than find out on your Monday. Accounting is a deterministic export your bookkeeper reviews — not a live QuickBooks connection.

What you get, and what we get.

Yours

  • Free while you are a founding pilot shop, and a founding rate for as long as you stay
  • Founder-led setup, and your customer list imported from a spreadsheet
  • Your data exportable and deletable, on your say-so, at any time
  • No card, no minimum term, nothing that renews by itself

Ours

  • A real service day put through it, not a demo workspace
  • Told plainly what broke, in your words, while it is still annoying
  • A weekly half-hour while the pilot runs
  • Nothing public — no name, logo or quote without separate written permission

Bring your worst dead zone.

The basement with no bars, the plant room, the rural call. If it survives that, it will survive your Tuesday.

Questions this page did not answer: support@getjobcard.com. A person reads it, and during the pilot that person is the founder.
