HandymanGeneral repairsCarpentryPaintingDrywallRetainer clients 01 The Handyman data model ## Every property, every repair, every visit — _structured, not a notes field._ FieldCamp ships a Handyman layout the day you sign in: a Property → Repair Record hierarchy with typed fields for task type, location in home, last service date, and service status — the [repair-level tracking](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/handyman) the enterprise platforms reserve for enterprise contracts. It doubles as your handyman CRM software — every property, owner, and retainer plan on one record. [Service history](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/data-model/service-agreements) rolls up to each repair automatically, and the moment a maintenance gap opens, FieldCamp flags it and drafts the win-back. Linked records Repair records link to their property. Open one property and see every task, retainer plan, and visit history in place. Typed fields Task type, location in home, last service date, service status — structured fields with real types, never a free-text dump. Service history Every visit rolls up to the repair record it touched. Gaps past your threshold raise a flag the tech sees on arrival. Shared record views One record per property and repair — specs, service log, files — the same source your CSRs, dispatchers, and techs work from. 02 Lead & book ## Every lead, every channel — _answered and booked._ WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram, Google, web, and the phone land in one inbox. The [AI receptionist](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-receptionist/) answers in seconds, [books by service area](https://fieldcamp.ai/online-booking/service-area-management/), and the lead arrives already matched to the property and repair records on file — so nothing slips and no call goes unanswered. 03 Handyman scheduling & dispatch ### Two minutes to fill the board. _Then it shows its work._ FieldCamp is handyman [scheduling software](https://fieldcamp.ai/scheduling/) with an [AI dispatcher](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/) that knows the truck is 80% full before adding the next job. It [assigns by tech skill](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/features/skill-based-dispatching/) — carpentry, tiling, drywall, painting — plus [zone](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/features/zone-dispatching/), [drive time](https://fieldcamp.ai/route-optimization/), and capacity. Every card lands with a one-click reason. Auto mode fills the week the moment a job is created. Assist mode queues every assignment for your dispatcher to review. 04 Handyman estimating software ## Good, better, best — _approved on the van._ Build a [good-better-best estimate](https://fieldcamp.ai/quotes/) from the [flat-rate pricebook](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/products-services/price-book-and-bundles), attach the photo of the damaged tile or drywall, and let the customer approve and e-sign on the spot — it converts to an invoice in one tap. FieldCamp even drafts the quote from what the repair record already knows. 05 Handyman invoicing software ## Invoice from the driveway. _Paid before you pull away._ The visit auto-generates a [branded invoice](https://fieldcamp.ai/invoicing-software/). Collect with [Tap-to-Pay, ACH, card, or Apple Pay](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/payments/payments-overview), auto-charge the card on file for retainer customers, and watch it sync to QuickBooks — no double entry, no chasing checks. 06 Handyman maintenance software ### Retainer plans that _actually get scheduled._ FieldCamp is the handyman maintenance software that turns retainer plans into [scheduled, recurring](https://docs.fieldcamp.ai/job-management/recurring-jobs) revenue. Service plan is a first-class field on the property — Retainer or None. Set up [recurring maintenance visits](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/use-cases/recurring-contract-management/) so retainer work chains automatically across the year. Plan visits get scheduled automatically; lapsed plans land in the win-back queue. The AI receptionist knows the plan when they call, and so does the tech in the van. Recurring billing, visit chains, and reminder texts are built in — not bolted on through a third-party automation. 07 Capabilities ## Everything a handyman shop runs on, _on one platform._ [Reporting](https://fieldcamp.ai/reporting-software/), [mobile](https://fieldcamp.ai/mobile-app-download/), accounting, and compliance — the rest of the handyman business software a handyman company runs on, woven into the same property and repair records. No swivel-chair between five tools.

When the call comes in, the tech sees every repair, every visit, every note on that address — without scrolling through a notes field. Diagnoses get faster. Recommendations get smarter. New shops can start fast with a free [estimate template](https://fieldcamp.ai/free-tools/estimate-template/). Or price a job in seconds with our [service price calculator](https://fieldcamp.ai/free-tools/service-price-calculator/). Curious how the board fills itself? Read [what an AI dispatcher is](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/blog/what-is-an-ai-dispatcher/). It works by [matching jobs to the right technician](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-dispatcher/blog/how-ai-matches-jobs-to-technicians/) automatically. 02 ### Retainer plans pay for themselves. Plan status is a real field, not a tag. Visits chain. Lapsed plans land in a win-back queue. The AI receptionist upsells the right plan based on the repair history it can see. Check whether a retainer pencils out with our [profit margin calculator](https://fieldcamp.ai/free-tools/profit-margin-calculator/). 03 ### Built around your shop, not theirs. Need permit logs, [photo checklists](https://fieldcamp.ai/checklists-forms/), or client sign-off workflows? Add a custom object — same engine, same dispatch board, same reports. It's the handyman field service software that scales from a solo operator to a multi-van crew, with no separate compliance product to license. Many shops also lean on FieldCamp to standardize quoting — see our guide on [how to price handyman jobs](https://fieldcamp.ai/blog/how-to-price-handyman-jobs/). Growing from solo to multi-van? Start with a solid [handyman business plan](https://fieldcamp.ai/handyman-software/business-plan/). 09 The other trades we run ## Same platform. _Every trade you touch._ [HVAC →Equipment records, service plans, dispatch.](https://fieldcamp.ai/hvac-software/)[Plumbing →Service calls, parts, recurring maintenance.](https://fieldcamp.ai/plumbing-software/)[Electrical →Service + projects, permits, panels.](https://fieldcamp.ai/electrician-software/)[Property maintenance →Multi-property, multi-trade, recurring.](https://fieldcamp.ai/property-maintenance-software/)[Painting software →Estimates by sqft, color specs, job phases.](https://fieldcamp.ai/painting-software/)[Construction →Phased billing, change orders, permits.](https://fieldcamp.ai/construction-software/) 10 FAQ ## Common questions _handyman owners ask._ What is handyman software? Handyman software is the all-in-one system that runs a handyman business — scheduling and dispatching technicians, tracking every property and the repairs performed at each one, sending estimates and invoices, processing payments, and reporting on the health of the business. As all-in-one handyman business software, it replaces separate scheduling, CRM, estimating, and invoicing tools. FieldCamp is handyman software built around a real data model: every property has repair records, every repair record has a service history. That structure makes diagnoses faster, retainer plans easier to sell, and recurring revenue more predictable. Does FieldCamp do handyman maintenance scheduling? Yes — FieldCamp is handyman maintenance software. Service plan is a first-class field on the property — Retainer or None — not a tag bolted on. When a plan is active, visits chain automatically on the recurrence you set (monthly, quarterly, twice a year), so handyman maintenance scheduling runs itself. Reminder texts go out 48 hours before. Lapsed plans land in a win-back queue with the AI receptionist primed to renew them when the customer calls in. What is the best handyman scheduling software? The best handyman scheduling software fills the board the way a seasoned dispatcher would — matching each job to the right technician by skill and trade specialty, service zone, van capacity, customer time window, and drive time, not just dropping pins on a calendar. FieldCamp's AI dispatcher does that in about two minutes and shows the reasoning behind every assignment, so the schedule the whole shop trusts is built before the first van rolls. What is the best handyman dispatch software? The best handyman dispatch software fills the board considering everything a real dispatcher weighs — tech skills (carpentry, tiling, drywall, painting), service zones, capacity per van in dollars and jobs, customer time windows, and drive time between stops. FieldCamp's AI Dispatcher does that in two minutes and shows the reasoning behind every assignment. You can run it on Auto (it assigns the moment a job is created) or Assist (every assignment queues for review). Can FieldCamp track repairs — task type, location in home, service history? Yes — that's the heart of how FieldCamp models handyman work. Each property holds repair records with Task type (Drywall / Door repair / Tile repair / Carpentry / Painting / Caulking), Location in home, Last service date, and a Service status pill (Good, Due soon, Overdue). Service history rolls up automatically; gaps over a configurable threshold trigger a warning the tech sees on arrival. What about photo documentation and client sign-off? FieldCamp's custom-objects engine lets you add before-and-after photo checklists, client sign-off workflows, permit tracking, and warranty logs as objects on the same platform — same reports, same dispatch board, same audit trail. You don't need a separate compliance product; the data lives next to the property and repair record it relates to. Does FieldCamp do handyman estimates, invoicing, and payments? Yes — estimates with good-better-best proposals, flat-rate pricebooks, photo-attached line items, and e-signature; invoices generated from the field with branded templates; payments via Tap-to-Pay, ACH, credit card, and Apple Pay; financing offered inline; and QuickBooks Online + Desktop sync. Invoices auto-charge for retainer-plan customers. What is handyman field service management software, and is FieldCamp a fit for small shops? Handyman field service management software is the all-in-one system that connects the office (scheduling, CRM, invoicing) to the field (mobile app, GPS, photos, payment). FieldCamp is built to fit shops from a solo operator to a multi-van franchise.
