Vortech is a high-speed dispatch tool built for the trades. Whether you run a crew of 5 or 50, this is how you take control of your field operations. The Priority Window: Stop "blasting" jobs to everyone at once. Vortech uses a routing system that looks at two things: Who is your best tech? and Who is the closest? The 30-Second Head Start: Your top-tier performers (Platinum and Gold) get a 30-second window to see and claim the best leads first. Closest Tech First: Even within your top tiers, the app identifies who is nearest to the job to cut down on drive time and fuel costs. Automatic Backup: If your top pros are busy, the job automatically opens up to the rest of the team so the customer never waits. Specialist Routing: Got a complex commercial leak or a high-security lockout? Elite Access: Just tap the Specialist button. Pro-Only: The job skips the general crew and goes straight to your hand-picked experts. No mistakes, no "oops" calls from the field. Live Fleet Visibility: See your entire team on one map with GPS updates every 30 seconds. Real-Time Tracking: Know exactly who is working, who is driving, and who is available. Instant Reassign: If a tech gets stuck, send the job back to the office with one tap. You're in control; cancel, re-dispatch or take care of it manually. Device Health: Check a tech's battery and signal strength at a glance. If their phone is dying, you'll know before they miss a job. Money and Paperworkβ€”Simplified In-Field Payments: Connect your Stripe account and let techs charge cards right at the door. Automatic Math: The app calculates the "split" based on your company rules. No more Sunday night spreadsheet headaches. The week closes Tuesday at 2 a.m. β€” you just write the checks. Proof of Work: Techs snap photos and log expenses in the app before they leave the site. No features are gate-kept behind an additional upgrade. All current and future features are available to every user from day one. All that for a fraction of what our competitors charge. Try it out for free for 30 days and never go back.

Log the job. Snap photos. Send a professional invoice, all from your phone before you back out of the driveway. Logged is built for solo contractors who bill by the job: HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, handymen, and anyone else doing field work and invoicing clients from their phone. Get paid by Venmo, Cash App, PayPal or Zelle: QR codes and pay links on every unpaid invoice, free. Built for iPhone Duo: see your jobs and invoices side by side when you unfold. SEND EVEN WITH NO SIGNAL (PRO) Tap Send on an invoice or estimate with zero bars and Logged queues it with an honest "Queued to Send" status β€” never a false "Sent" β€” then sends it automatically once you're back online. PHOTO INVOICE Take before/after photos without leaving the app, or pull in shots from your camera roll. Every photo is tagged (Before, After, In Progress) and timestamped, camera photos are GPS-stamped, and all embed in your invoice PDF. WORKS OFFLINE Written natively in Swift β€” not a web app ported to mobile. Jobs, photos, and invoices save instantly to your device. No signal? No problem. Everything syncs to the cloud when you're back online. INVOICING One tap generates a PDF with your logo, line items, photos, and client signature. With Pro, your client gets an email with a link to a polished invoice page that works on any phone, and you get a push notification the moment they open it. - Client signature capture β€” right on the invoice - Optional Stripe payment link β€” clients pay by card from the invoice page (Pro) - A reminder to your client if an invoice Logged emailed is unpaid after 7 days (Pro) - Partial payments and overdue detection - Green PAID stamp on your PDF when payment lands - Send a receipt after payment (Pro) ESTIMATES Build a professional estimate on the job site. Add site photos and they print right on the estimate PDF. Send it with Pro and your client gets a link to a clean web page where they can tap Accept or Decline β€” no app required, no PDF to download. You get a push notification when they view it, and another the moment they respond. When they accept, convert to a job and invoice in one tap β€” line items and photos carry over automatically, nothing to retype. CUSTOMERS IN SECONDS Import a customer straight from your phone's contacts β€” or bring your whole roster over at once (Pro). Logged catches duplicate phone numbers so the same client never lands in your list twice. KNOW THE MOMENT ANYTHING HAPPENS (PRO) Push notifications for every stage of the job β€” estimate viewed, estimate accepted or declined, invoice opened, payment received. Toggle each type independently in Settings. Each invoice also shows when your client opened it and tapped Pay. GET PAID FASTER Add your Venmo, Cash App, PayPal and Zelle once, and every invoice shows a QR code and pay link with the amount due filled in. Or connect your Stripe account and every invoice can include a Pay Now link β€” clients pay by card, and the invoice marks paid automatically. Partly paid? Pay Now charges just the balance. Funds go directly to you. Logged never holds your money. TRACK YOUR REVENUE See total collected, this month's revenue, and what's outstanding at a glance. Six-month bar chart and top customers ranked by lifetime value. FREE TO START - Up to 10 jobs and 5 customers - PDF invoice generation - Share PDFs and mark them sent - Photos embedded in invoice and estimate PDFs - Venmo, Cash App, PayPal and Zelle on every invoice - Client signature capture - Manual payment tracking - Up to 3 estimates (sending them through Logged is Pro) Upgrade to Pro for unlimited jobs, customers, and estimates β€” plus invoice email delivery, push notifications, send receipts, Stripe payments, revenue reports, and full cloud backup that restores your entire history on a new device. Pro: $9.99/month or $89.99/year (save 25%). Cancel anytime in your iPhone subscription settings. Terms of Use: https://getlogged.app/tos.html Privacy Policy: https://getlogged.app/privacy.html
