Software built around how your plumbing business actually runs.
Scheduling, billing, crew hours, fleet, and inventory in one place, shaped to your shop.
Plumbing businesses juggle scheduling, dispatch, billing, crew hours, fleet, and inventory, usually across different tools. Most off-the-shelf platforms charge per technician for features a small shop rarely uses, and the parts you need often sit in a higher tier.
What we build for plumbing shops
We build the four or five screens a plumbing crew touches every day.
A dispatch board that matches how you assign work. Job records a tech can update from a truck with clear, readable controls. Time tracking that lines up with how you actually run payroll. Estimates that use your pricing, including the formulas you worked out over years. Invoices that go out the day the job closes. Van and inventory records so you know what's on the truck before somebody drives back to the shop.
Adding a tech stays at one base rate, and the data stays yours. When something needs to change, you talk to the person who built it.
What this looked like for Cable Plumbing
Cable Plumbing moved from scattered tools to one job tracking system built around their workflow.
We sat in on the day, learned how work moved from call to close, and built the tracking system their crew runs on now.
"This saved us more than 12 hours of work every week."

Straight answers.
What software do plumbing companies need to run day to day?
Most shops need five things: a schedule the whole crew can see, dispatch that works from a truck, time tracking that feeds payroll, estimates and invoices that go out the same day, and a record of what's on each van. Everything past that is optional until you need it.
Is custom software worth it for a small plumbing business?
It's worth it when your process is the thing that makes you money and ready-made platforms only come close, or when per-tech pricing keeps climbing every time you hire. If you need a calendar and invoices tomorrow, a ready-made platform gets you there faster.
How much does custom plumbing business software cost?
A custom web app starts at $7,500 one-time, with a $550 per month base rate covering hosting, maintenance, support, and ongoing improvements. Variable costs like SMS and payment fees are passed through at cost.
Does CopperLine build for plumbing companies specifically?
Yes. We built the job tracking system Cable Plumbing runs on, and we work the same way with any shop: sit in on the day, learn how the crew actually moves, then build only the parts that carry weight.
