Ownbox for home services
The machine we'd build
for your home services company.
A home services company runs on service requests, estimates, scheduled jobs, crews and invoices. This is the AI business machine we would build around them, and what your Ownbox already does on day one.

You don't wait for this machine to start. On any Ownbox foundation, the Unified Inbox and the SEO Machine already work for a home services company.

- Customers told when their job is booked or moved
- Parts and materials watched, with reorders proposed

What it keeps
Its own records, and the agents that work on them.
