Features

Everything a small HVAC shop needs. Nothing it doesn't.

One flat price unlocks the entire platform — scheduling, mobile, invoicing, customers, inventory, and the automations that keep customers coming back.

Scheduling & Dispatch

Move jobs from booked to billed.

A weekly grid across every tech, drag-and-drop assignments, and recurring jobs that schedule themselves.

Drag-and-drop weekly schedule

See every tech, every day. Drop a job on a slot and the tech gets notified instantly.

Multi-tech dispatch

Assign, reassign, and balance loads across the crew without spreadsheets or texts.

Recurring jobs

Set up maintenance plans once. Ratchly creates the next visit on the right cadence.

Reminders that actually fire

Automatic customer SMS the day before and on-the-way alerts when techs depart.

Mobile Tech App

Built for the truck, not the boardroom.

Techs get a fast, glove-friendly app that works on any phone — no extra license, no separate download.

Mobile-first interface

Big buttons, big text, fast taps. Works on any iPhone or Android — install as a PWA.

Photos, notes, and checklists

Capture before/after photos and job notes from the truck. Synced back to the office in real time.

Tap-to-call customer

Phone numbers, addresses, and gate codes are one tap away on every job.

Job status updates

On the way, on site, complete — status changes trigger automatic customer messages.

Invoicing & Payments

Get paid the day the job ends.

Turn a completed job into a sent invoice in one tap. Stripe handles card and ACH at pass-through pricing.

One-tap invoicing

Convert completed jobs into invoices instantly. Line items pull from the work performed.

Stripe card & ACH payments

Customers pay online. Funds land in your bank — Ratchly never touches the money.

Automatic dunning

Polite reminders go out on day 7, 14, and 30 so overdue invoices don't pile up.

Branded PDFs

Your logo, your colors, your shop info — every invoice and estimate.

Customers & Equipment

Know the unit before you arrive.

Every address keeps a full history of jobs, invoices, and the equipment that lives there.

Unified customer profiles

Service addresses, contacts, billing history, and notes — all in one place.

Equipment history

Model, serial, refrigerant, filter size — synced to every address and visible in the truck.

Service history timeline

Every visit, photo, and invoice for an address — going back to day one.

Inventory

Stop showing up empty-handed.

Track parts across trucks and warehouse, deduct on use, and get alerted before stock runs out.

Truck & warehouse stock

Track capacitors, contactors, refrigerant, and consumables across every truck.

Low-stock alerts

Set reorder thresholds. Ratchly pings you before a tech runs out on a callback.

Communications

Automations that build repeat business.

SMS reminders, on-the-way alerts, and review requests — all running quietly in the background.

Two-way SMS

Reply to customer texts directly from Ratchly. Full thread saved on the customer.

Review requests

Automatic Google review nudges after every completed job. More 5-star reviews, less effort.

Appointment reminders

24-hour and on-the-way SMS reduce no-shows and angry calls.

Admin & Reporting

The numbers that actually matter.

Owner dashboard, audit logs, role-based access, and one-click data export. No lock-in.

Owner dashboard

Revenue, outstanding invoices, jobs by tech, and weekly trends — at a glance.

Roles & permissions

Owner, dispatcher, technician — each role only sees what they need.

Data export

Export customers, jobs, and invoices to CSV any time. Your data is yours.

Estimates & ProposalsPro plan

Win more jobs with professional estimates.

Multi-tier estimates with customer and job context built in. Email straight from Ratchly and convert to an invoice in one tap.

Multi-tier line items

Offer Good / Better / Best options on a single estimate. Totals recalculate automatically as you edit.

Customer & job embeds

Every estimate carries the customer profile and linked job context — no copy-paste, no version drift.

Email to customer

Send the estimate as a branded email with a secure view link. Customers approve from any device.

One-tap convert to invoice

Approved estimate? Convert it to an invoice with line items and job linkage already wired up.

Memberships & RecurringPro plan

Turn one-time customers into predictable revenue.

Quarterly, semi-annual, annual — define the plan once and Ratchly schedules each visit window.

Stripe subscription billing

Monthly or annual auto-renewal. Pause, resume, and cancel — Stripe stays in sync automatically.

Automatic visit reminders
