Appliance Installers face unique challenges: Doorways, tight turns, and stairs that a new range or fridge won't fit through, discovered only after it's on the dolly. Old shutoffs, corroded gas valves, and wrong outlets (3-prong vs 4-prong) that turn a swap into a plumbing or electrical fix. Haul-away and disposal logistics for the old unit, especially fridges that need refrigerant handling. Damage liability — a scratched floor, a dinged cabinet, or a leak that shows up days after you've left. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median appliance installer earns $55,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your appliance dolly with stair-climber straps is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

An appliance install looks simple on the work order and rarely is. The day is a route of deliveries, and at each stop the first thing you do is measure the path before you measure the appliance — a 36-inch fridge does not care that the front door is 35 and a half, and you'd rather find that out on the porch than wedged in the hallway. You and a partner walk it in on the stair-climber dolly, blankets down to protect the floor, pivoting it through turns that look impossible. The hookups are where the surprises live: the dishwasher's supply valve is seized and weeps when you touch it, the dryer outlet is an old three-prong and the new dryer came with a four-prong cord, the gas range's flex line is the wrong length and the shutoff is corroded. Each one is a judgment call about whether you can safely make it right or have to call it. You level the range so a pan of oil doesn't pool to one side, strap the anti-tip bracket so a kid can't pull it over, flare and leak-test the gas with the sniffer, run the dishwasher a cycle to prove no leaks before you sign off. Then there's the old unit to haul out and the fridge that needs proper refrigerant disposal. The job isn't done until it runs, it's level, it doesn't leak, and you've left the floor exactly as clean as you found it, because the callback you fear is a slow leak under a new dishwasher.
