TV Mounters face unique challenges: Jobs are quick (30-90 minutes) but scheduling and invoicing overhead per job is disproportionate. Driving across town for a $150 job barely covers time and gas. Customers wanting cable management, soundbar install, and smart home setup as add-ons. Managing same-day booking requests — TV mounting is often urgent. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median TV mounter earns $38,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Stud finder (electronic/magnetic) 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.
Square is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?

You do 5-6 TV mounts today, scattered across the city. Job one is straightforward — bracket, mount, done in 45 minutes. Job two has a brick fireplace — that's an upcharge you didn't quote because the customer said 'drywall.' Job four wants you to run cables through the wall and set up their Apple TV. By 5pm you've done 5 jobs, driven 60 miles, and need to invoice all of them. Jobber charges $69/month for 5-minute jobs — the per-job software cost is absurd.
