The math doesn't lie.
Carpet Cleaners deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Upselling stain treatments and protectant on-site without looking pushy. Tracking chemical costs per job for accurate pricing. Managing recurring commercial accounts vs one-off residential. Customers expecting miracles on 20-year-old carpet. Jobber charges $69/month on top of these daily realities. The median carpet cleaner earns $33,000/year — $828/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 carpet cleaners. You own it like you own your Truck-mount or portable carpet extractor.
You show up at 8am to a three-bedroom house. The homeowner didn't mention the pet stains — that's an extra treatment and an upsell conversation you hate having. Your next job is a commercial office that pays net-30. You're running hot water through the truck mount, tracking mileage, buying chemicals at the supply house, and trying to invoice yesterday's jobs between appointments. By 5pm you've cleaned four homes and one office, and only two have paid.
