The math doesn't lie.
Appliance Repair Technicians deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Diagnosing before knowing if the customer will approve the repair cost. Carrying common parts inventory and tracking what's used per call. Warranty claim paperwork for authorized service calls. Customers comparing your repair quote to new appliance prices. Housecall Pro charges $99/month on top of these daily realities. The median appliance repair tech earns $42,000/year — $1,188/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for appliance repair technicians. You own it like you own your Multimeter and amp clamp.
Your 9am is a washer that won't drain. You diagnose a bad pump — $180 repair. The customer says 'I can buy a new one for $400' and you lose the job. Your 11am is a refrigerator warranty call that pays a flat $75 regardless of time spent. By 2pm you've done four calls, used parts from your truck inventory you need to reorder, and still haven't filed the warranty claim from this morning. Your parts costs are tracked nowhere.
