One system that runs the paving business end to end: the day board, the schedule, estimates with the tonnage already figured, the crew's phone view, receipts and hours logged off the truck, invoices that chase themselves, and the reports sitting underneath all of it.
Twenty screens, built for asphalt rather than adapted from something else. You have already clicked through the whole thing — that mockup is the system taking shape, not a picture of it.
The field-service platforms are built for HVAC shops and plumbers. None of them know what a ton of hot mix costs, that 1,850 square feet at two inches is 22.4 tons, that a 70% chance of rain on Friday moves four jobs and $32,050, or that a driveway you paved in 2023 is a seal-coat sale this year.
You would pay every year to bend someone else's software around your trade, and still keep the clipboard. This is built around the trade instead.
Roughly eleven weeks start to finish, worked around your season. Starting in the off-season runs faster.
Hosting, nightly backups, and me on the phone when something is wrong. When you add a crew, change your rates, or want a screen to work differently, that is included — it is not a change order.
No contract. Cancel any time and you leave with an export of everything in it.
The closest thing off the shelf is Jobber Plus — the tier Jobber itself recommends, and the only one that includes job costing and profitability tracking. At the 11–15 user band it is $529 a month billed annually: $6,348 a year, every year, for as long as you use it. This is $12,000, once.
By year eight you would have handed Jobber $50,784 and still own nothing. The same eight years here cost $12,000, and the system is yours.
| Running total | This system | Jobber Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Year one | $12,000 | $6,348 |
| Through year twoYou are ahead from here on | $12,000 | $12,696 |
| Through year three | $12,000 | $19,044 |
| Through year five | $12,000 | $31,740 |
| Through year eight | $12,000 | $50,784 |
Jobber: $529 a month billed annually on the 11–15 user band, from getjobber.com/pricing, September 2026. The same tier billed monthly rather than annually is $699. Running costs sit alongside both and are not in this comparison — $275 a month here against Jobber's $529, so you are $254 a month better off on that side too.
You are ahead from year two, and $38,784 ahead by year eight. The difference underneath the numbers is what you are buying: a subscription is rent, and it goes up. This is built once, around how you actually pave, and the data walks out with you whenever you want it.
Three places the money comes from. All three are already sitting in your own numbers.
The build costs $12,000. Put another way, that is:
The recall alone covers three fifths of the build, and it does not happen once. The 2024 driveways come due behind the 2023s, and the 2025s behind those.
Running it after that is $275 a month — five seal coats a year, against the $529 a month Jobber would charge you for the same twelve months.
Phase one starts that week. Inside three weeks you will be looking at your own jobs, your own crews and your own weather on the day board — not the sample season in the mockup.
