A proven home-services operations platform
Own the software that runs a real business.
Haslett is a production operations platform — an owner web console and a crew mobile app — that runs a live home-services company today. Acquire the codebase and I deploy and tailor it to your operation. You own it outright. No per-seat tax, no rollout fee.
Code + deployment · $75K–$250K · you own the IP
Real figures from the running system, not projections. The hours are my own estimate and are labelled as one; the rest come out of the database and QuickBooks.
What it is
A two-sided operations platform, built on real infrastructure.
Owner web to run the operation. Crew mobile for field close-outs. AWS serverless underneath — the kind of stack a vendor charges six figures to build for you.
- Email-driven auto-ticketing — inbound turns into a job without anyone opening it
- One-click approve → auto-invoice — with a multi-rate crew billing engine
- Unified lead intake — Angi, website and email, spam-filtered into one queue
- QuickBooks + Plaid sync — and receipt OCR through Claude vision
- Profit First accounting — transactions auto-categorised into envelopes
- Crew mobile app — field close-outs and per-person hours, lead and helper rates
- ROI dashboard — plus contractor performance tracking
- AWS serverless — Lambda · DynamoDB · Cognito · SES · CloudFront, all Terraform
Why owning beats renting
The big platforms rent you a generic tool. This one is yours.
Renting
Per-seat, per-month, forever. The bill grows with every tech you hire, and it never stops.
Owning
Acquired once. Add techs, locations and shops without the meter running.
Renting
You conform to their workflow. AI arrives later, bolted onto a tool designed before it.
Owning
Shaped to how you actually work. OCR and auto-ticketing are load-bearing, not an add-on.
Renting
The software stops at the handoff to accounting. Support is a ticket queue.
Owning
It goes into the books — Profit First, Plaid, QuickBooks — and you call the engineer who wrote it.
Deliberately no competitor price quoted here. ServiceTitan does not publish one, so any figure I put against their name would be invented — and the argument is about the pricing model, which does not need a number to be true.
Who it’s for
Three shapes of buyer
Home-services rollups
Stop paying per seat across every shop you acquire. Deploy one platform you own across the portfolio.
Multi-location operators
A proven operations backbone fitted to your trades, without an eighteen-month six-figure build.
Owners who want to own
Your software, your data, your workflow — not a vendor’s mould and a vendor’s lock-in.
The offer
Acquire the platform. I deploy it.
$75K – $250K

01
Scope
A call on your operation — your trades, your billing, your portfolio, what has to fit.
02
Deploy & tailor
I stand it up on your infrastructure and shape it to how you actually work.
03
Handover
You own the code, documented, with me on call for fixes and extensions.
Prefer just the engine?
Acquire the parts the big tools don’t have.
Not the whole platform — just the differentiated pieces: the AI bookkeeping, email auto-ticketing and multi-rate crew-billing engines. Portable modules that drop into what you already run.
Why me
I did not just build this platform — I run my own home-services business on it, every day. That is a de-risker no software vendor can offer: it is proven in production by the person selling it. I embed, deploy on your real systems, and stay reachable when something breaks.
Let’s talk
Tell me about your operation.
Twenty minutes: your shops, your trades, what you pay per seat today, and whether owning this beats renting for you. If it doesn’t, I will say so.
