Someone calls about a recloth. You ask what size table. They don’t know. You ask the brand, they go and look. Two calls later you can finally quote it. SlateRoute asks your trade’s questions the first time, then carries that one answer through the quote, the job, the invoice and the next visit three years from now.
Built by someone who ran a pool table service business and sold it. This is the tool that job needed.
No credit card for the trial · Your data stays yoursEvery one of these is running today. None of it is a roadmap promise.
The form asks what your trade needs before anything can be priced: table size and slate, stairs at both ends, gate width, safe weight, machine era, cloth brand and colour. It ships knowing, so you quote from the first message instead of the third.
Services, photos, reviews, your hours, your phone. Plus a page for every town you serve, so someone searching in the next county over can find you. Most shops in these trades have no site at all, or one from 2011.
Print it on the door, on a card, on a flyer. Scan it and your request form opens. Already have a website? Paste one line and the form drops straight into it.
Send a link. They read it, accept it, and the job and invoice create themselves. No account for them to make, no PDF to sign and scan back. You see the moment they open it.
Every estimate and invoice carries your cancellation window, your damage-claim window and what a deposit covers. When a customer disputes a card charge, the processor asks what they agreed to. Most owner-operators have no answer.
Venmo, Zelle, check, cash, card - whatever you take, printed on the invoice with your details, plus a code the customer scans to pay from their phone. It survives printing, so a mailed invoice still works.
Add your crew, your partner, whoever, and pay the same. Crew see the schedule and their jobs on their own phone, never your leads or price book, and whether they see money is a switch you flip per person. A partner sees everything you do.
A table reclothed three years ago is due again. A quote nobody answered. An invoice past due. A callback that needs a return visit under warranty. It lands on one screen instead of in your head.
List what you have - condition, brand, dimensions, what is included - and it shows on your website with photos. Buyers ask through the same form as everyone else.
Basements and back yards eat phone bars. Job notes and completions save on the phone and send themselves the moment signal returns, so nothing typed in a dead zone is lost.
Jobber and Housecall Pro are good products. They were built for a plumber with a van, and the parts that decide whether you can quote a pool table were never in scope.
Every request comes in with the size, the slate, the stairs at both ends, the tightest turn on the path. Written from how the trade actually quotes, not from a form we asked you to design. That is the difference between a lead and a phone tag.
Jobber is $49 for one user and $29 for every person after. Housecall Pro's entry plan is a single user. Here it is one flat price whether it is you on your own or you, a partner and two crew.
General software organises the jobs you already have. This one also gives you the website, a page for every town you serve, the QR code for the truck and somewhere to sell a table. Nothing else on this list rings the phone.
Prices from each company’s own pricing page, July 2026. If you already run one and it is working for you, keep it - we would rather you did than switch and regret it.
A request is an inbox item, not another customer record to retype. When the customer says yes, the same information moves forward into the job.
Your branded form collects the service, addresses, access details, photos, and contact information.
Your price book pre-fills the quote. Send a link the customer can view and accept online, with their questions attached.
The customer's yes creates the job and invoice automatically. Schedule it and send the confirmation in one click.
Complete the job, record payment, chase past-due invoices from the dashboard, and keep the full customer history.
We'll prepare the right website wording, request questions, and starter services. Everything stays editable.
Pool table moving, refelting & repair. Done right.
Starter services: Move, Refelt, Repair, Level, Assembly, Disassembly, New Table, Warranty, InspectionBecause most non-slate tables cannot be reclothed at all, and plenty of mechanics will not move one - they are not built to come apart and go back together, and they warp, so levelling afterwards becomes a problem. If a customer picks non-slate, SlateRoute tells them that on the form instead of leaving you to explain it on the phone.
The form asks for the playing field, bumper tip to bumper tip, and says so - not the outside of the frame, which is what people measure and why refelt quotes go wrong. The size, the slate and the pockets arrive together, so you are not quoting an 8ft that turns out to be a 7ft.
That is the reason it exists. Every question a customer would have made you ask is on the form before they submit, and your quote and invoice wording is saved once and reused. Explaining slate, sizing and access to every caller is the single biggest time sink in this trade.
No. Your SlateRoute website can be the site you share, or just the request form you link from anywhere: Google Business Profile, Facebook, a QR code on your truck.
Pick your business type, name your business, and you're working. Your services, website wording, and request form are prepared for your field, and everything stays editable in plain English.
It's yours. Every account can download its complete data as a file at any time, no phone call required.
Yes. Quotes and invoices are private links, so customers view, accept, or pay attention to them with zero signup friction.
Yes. Add them from Settings and they sign in on their own phone to a simpler view: the schedule and their jobs, tap-to-call, tap-to-navigate, mark complete with photos. They never see your quotes, leads, or price book, and whether they can see invoices and take payment is up to you, per person. If it's a business partner rather than crew, add them as a Partner instead and they get the same full access you have.
