What Barton Forge does
Business software for one-person businesses and small crews. Customers, jobs, and parts, on your phone.
Barton Forge keeps your customers and jobs on your phone. It's built for a one-person business or a small crew, in any trade: electrical, HVAC, plumbing, carpentry, landscaping, junk hauling, and more.
What you can do
- Take the call. Get the name, phone, and what they need. It's a job before you hang up. See Create a job.
- Run the job. Move it from Request to Scheduled to In progress to Complete. Add photos, notes, and a price. See Work a job.
- Every visit on schedule. Weekly, every 2 weeks, and monthly visits roll forward when you mark the visit. See Weekly and monthly visits.
- Get paid. Put a price on the job, send an invoice, see what's unpaid, and mark it as paid. See Price, Unpaid, and Paid.
- Text the customer in one tap. "On my way", "Running late", "Job complete", and more. See Call, text, and directions.
- Track your parts. Snap the supply-house receipt, scan parts out on the job, and see what's on hand. See How Parts works.
- Bring on helpers. Add the people who work with you, see who is going where this week, and remove them when they move on. See Owners and helpers and The Week.
