Problem
Home service professionals often struggle with fragmented tools for scheduling, invoicing, and customer management, leading to lost time and revenue. The mental load of tracking payments, appointments, and service history piles up, especially for solo operators and small crews managing full routes. Existing software solutions add monthly costs without directly helping pros increase their income.
Solution
ProBase provides a free, all-in-one business management platform for home service professionals, covering scheduling, route optimization, invoicing, payments, and customer management. The app includes drag-and-drop scheduling with drive-time optimization, AI-powered service notes that extract details from plain-language entries, and professional invoicing with automatic payment collection and tip processing. ProBase is free because it operates as a marketplace, taking a small percentage only when users opt into marketplace jobs from affiliated platforms. The software is built on infrastructure used to manage over 500,000 customers, ensuring reliable data handling for payments, addresses, and service records.
