Jobs, Scheduling, Estimates, Invoices, and QuickBooks. $39. Everything Included.

Here's the honest truth about a lot of small trades businesses: they aren't running on "field service management software" at all. They're running on a Google Calendar, a spreadsheet, a stack of text messages, an email inbox, and QuickBooks — five things held together by the owner's memory. It works, right up until it doesn't: a job falls through a crack, an invoice goes out a week late, and Sunday night disappears into re-typing everything into the books.

IronKite is built for exactly that business. Jobs, scheduling, estimates, invoices, payments, and QuickBooks sync — all of it in one place, all of it included — for a single flat price of $39 a month (or $390 a year). No add-ons. No "that's on the higher tier." Everything, in the box.

You probably don't need "field service management"

Most of the big platforms were designed around a front office — dispatchers, office managers, multiple crews, and reporting built for someone who manages the work instead of doing it. If you're a one-person electrical, plumbing, HVAC, handyman, or landscaping shop, that machinery isn't a feature. It's weight you have to carry.

Because the everyday job is actually simple. Strip away the enterprise dashboards and the real workflow is just six steps:

• Get the customer.
• Schedule the job.
• Do the work.
• Write it up.
• Send the invoice.
• Get paid.

IronKite does those six things exceptionally well and doesn't bury them under a hundred things you'll never touch. Simplicity isn't missing features — it's the feature.

The real competitor isn't Jobber. It's the patchwork.

When you're this size, you're usually not switching from one field-service platform to another — you're graduating from calendar + spreadsheet + texts + QuickBooks to your first real operational tool. The thing you're replacing is the duct tape between apps: the copy-pasting, the re-typing, the "wait, which text had the gate code?"

So the bar isn't "does it have more modules than ServiceTitan." The bar is: does one place finally hold the whole job, from the first phone call to the money in your account? That's the transition IronKite is built to make — the obvious next step when the patchwork stops being enough.

Everything included — even QuickBooks

Plenty of small operators want to keep QuickBooks as their accounting system. It's where their accountant lives and their taxes get done. What they actually want is to stop hand-keying every invoice and payment into it. The catch is that on some popular platforms, QuickBooks sync is tucked into a higher-priced tier — reserved for a plan well above the entry point (at the time of writing, Jobber gates it to its Connect plan and Housecall Pro places it above Basic).

IronKite includes QuickBooks Online sync at $39, right in the base price. Connect once, keep doing your accounting exactly where you already do it, and let customers, invoices, and payments flow into your books on their own. You don't reinvent your business — you connect the operational side of it to the accounting you already trust.

Keep QuickBooks. Ditch the re-typing. That's the whole pitch, and it fits on a business card.

Just tell it what happened

The person who did eight hours of real work shouldn't have to come home and fill out forms. So IronKite leans hard on voice. Every note field and the job chat have a microphone: talk through what you found and what you did, and IronKite turns the rambling into clean, organized job notes — tidying grammar and trade shorthand as it goes.

From there the paperwork mostly writes itself. IronKite can draft an estimate from a plain-language description of the work, roll it into an invoice, and get it in front of the customer — while you're still standing in the driveway. The point isn't "AI-powered software" as a slogan. The point is AI working quietly in the background to delete typing, paperwork, and admin from your day.

The phone is the office

For a solo tradesperson, the owner, the salesperson, the technician, the estimator, and the billing department are all the same person — and that person is in a truck, not at a desk. So IronKite is mobile-first, not a shrunk-down website. It's built to work where the work happens.

That includes the basements and mechanical rooms with no signal. IronKite is offline-capable: create jobs, write notes, snap photos, and log the work with no bars, and everything syncs automatically the moment you're back on a connection. The job doesn't wait for the Wi-Fi, and neither do you.

It grows when you do

Starting simple doesn't mean hitting a ceiling. On day one a one-person shop uses customers, scheduling, estimates, invoices, and payments — and nothing else gets in the way. The day you hire your first helper, the team and dispatch tools are already there, waiting. Complexity shows up only when you actually need it, never before.

That's the promise in a phrase: IronKite is the digital office for the tradesperson who doesn't have an office. It meets you where you are today and stays useful as the business gets bigger.

The bottom line

If you're holding your business together with a calendar, a spreadsheet, a thread of texts, and QuickBooks, you don't need a bigger cockpit full of dials. You need one place that runs the whole job — and keeps your books clean without a second thought. Everything included, QuickBooks and all, for $39.

That's IronKite: strong as steel, light as a feather — powerful enough to run your shop end to end, light enough that it never gets in your way. You can start free, no credit card required, and have your first job on the schedule in minutes.
