Why we built this

You didn't start a business. You bought yourself _a job._

Nobody starts a service business to do paperwork at 9pm. You started it because you were the best on the crew. Then you got good enough to be busy, and busy enough to be trapped.

Every bid, every change, every question comes through you, because it all lives in your head, your truck, and four hundred text messages.

So when the big job shows up, you say no. Not because you can't do the work. Because you can't carry any more.

That's not a work-ethic problem. That's not a you problem.

Nobody ever handed you a system. You were never supposed to figure out federal-grade operations between a tear-off and a punch list.

And here's the thing that actually matters: a business that only exists in your head can't be handed to anyone. Not a foreman. Not an office manager. Not a buyer. Not your kid.

Put it somewhere real, and everything changes. You can hire. You can take a week off. You can grow without drowning. You can, one day, sell it, because there's finally something to sell that isn't just you.

That's what we build. Not software, a way out of the middle of your own company.

Not sure which side you're on? I do the work · Other people do the work for me

The same Tuesday, twice

What actually changes about the day

Same jobs, same crew, same Tuesday in April. The only difference is where the work is kept.

Today

6:40 am
Three texts before the truck starts A change on the Reyes roof, a sub asking for the address, a client asking where her estimate went. None of it is written down anywhere but your phone.
11:15 am
You come off the roof to price a job The numbers are in your head and in last month's invoice. You promise it by tonight, because tonight is when you do paperwork.
2:30 pm
The homeowner calls the office You are the office. You take it on a ladder, tell her you will check, and add one more thing to a list nobody else can see.
8:50 pm
Now the second job starts The estimate you promised, two invoices, and the deposit you forgot to ask for. Not one line of it can be done by anybody but you.

The same day, on Servora

6:40 am
The change is a change order She asked for it in her portal. You price it once, she signs it, and the invoice for it activates the moment she does. The sub already had the address.
11:15 am
The estimate is built on the tailgate Your prices are already in Services, and your markup is folded into the client's line prices so she cannot work it back out. You build it, then you send it.
2:30 pm
The homeowner does not call Progress, the photos you shared and her documents are on one screen in her own browser. She signed the change order at 2:12 pm, and the job's activity trail says so.
8:50 pm
You are not working She signed at 6:41 pm. Her name, the time and her IP are stamped into the PDF, the file locked itself, and the deposit settled into your own Stripe account. Servora never touched the money.

Somewhere real

The place you put it is a folder

One job, ten sections, and the same ten on the next job. Open one and you have opened all of them.

  • Tasks
  • Costs & profit
  • Activity
  • Documents
  • Photos
  • Invoices
  • Messages
  • People
  • Materials
  • Checklists

Costs & profit prints two numbers on purpose: profit against what you billed, and profit against what has actually landed in the bank. Tasks stay internal and moneyless, so a material cost feeds your margin and is never billed to the client by accident. Charging for it is a deliberate promotion to a change order.

Activity is the trail. The line that ends arguments is the signature, because it carries the signer's name, the time and the IP address, and the file locks as it lands. Status changes, notes, visits and signatures are written there with a time on each. There is no read receipt, so nothing on this page will ever tell you a client opened something.

On the General Contractor plan a job carries three more sections: Timeline, Subcontractors and Bids.

Handing it over

Four front doors, and what each one cannot see

You cannot hand over a business nobody else can log into. Servora ships four surfaces, and the walls between them are enforced in the code rather than by trust.

You and your office

The console

Up to 24 tools in five plain groups, a "what needs you" list on the home screen, and a folder for every job. On a phone it collapses to five bottom tabs, Home, Jobs, Schedule, Money and More, so nothing is out of reach from a truck.

Cannot seeWhatever a role's thirteen permission switches turn off. Switch off "see money" and a job simply has no money on it for that person, rather than an error.

Your client

The client portal

A link, opened in the phone browser they already have. No app to install, one password, your logo and your colour. Four tabs: Project, Documents, Payments, Messages, with a red dot on the one thing that needs them.

Cannot seeYour costs, your margin, your other clients, or any photo whose client-visible switch is off.

Your subcontractor

The sub portal GC plan

Six tabs: the jobs you assigned with the scope you wrote for them, your bid board, their phases, their schedule, their own insurance and W-9 uploads, and up to five viewer seats for their foremen. Sub logins never use one of your seats.

Cannot seeYour client, your client's pricing, or another sub. That is enforced in every subcontractor endpoint, not by convention.

Your crew

The employee portal

Today and Work are always there. Jobs, Waiting, Tools, To do and Me appear only once your company actually uses them. A task that demands photos will not tick without them, and it says how many are still missing.

Cannot seeMoney. There is none on any screen in the employee portal, ever. Not on a task, not on gear, not on a job.

The General Contractor view is not a fifth app. It is this same console with the subcontractor half switched on: Vendors, Bid board and Subcontractors on the rail, and Timeline, Subcontractors and Bids inside every job.

What it costs

Put it somewhere it can be handed over

Contractor is $39.99/mo. General Contractor is $99.99/mo and switches on the subcontractor half. A card is required to start and there is no free trial, which is the sort of thing you would rather read here than find at checkout.

Servora never holds your money $0.00 added to a client payment 5 team seats included, sub logins are free Cancel and the workspace goes read only, nothing is auto-deleted Encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up automatically
