Building Prism · Operating in Florida

Run the trucks. Build the software.

My thesis: the best software for the trades will be built by people who've actually run the crews. I operate home-service businesses in Florida, and I'm building Prism, an operating system for trade service businesses, out of what the work has taught me.

Disclaimer: this is a concept mock-up, not the real UI. The real thing is going to be kick ass.

Quoting, scheduling, dispatch, and invoicing in one system, built around how a crew actually works. Private beta, onboarding select shops now.

One platform. Two bread-and-butter channels.

Prism is the software. The holiday-lighting businesses are the cash flow, the customer base, and the live test bed. Everything Prism ships gets used on our own trucks first.

Every feature in Prism started as a problem I had on a Tuesday in December with six crews out and a phone that wouldn't stop ringing.

Prism

Software platform

The operating system for trade service businesses. Quote, schedule, dispatch, and get paid from one place, on the desktop in the office and on the phone in the truck.

Home Service Business

Bread and butter

Two holiday-lighting brands, run out of Florida. Real crews, real seasons, real revenue. This is where Prism gets battle-tested.

Things I've built, run, or shipped.

Not a portfolio. A workshop. Some of these are live businesses, some are tools I gave away, some are still on the bench.
