BraidHouse™ vs Bookpluto

BraidHouse is the new home for braiders to run their business.

Bookpluto is the operations console for home-service and field-service companies — HVAC, mini-split, plumbing, electrical, and trades that run on bookings, crews, and on-site work. It is a business tool for company staff (administrators, managers, and specialists), not a consumer marketplace. Run your whole operation from one place: BOOKINGS & SCHEDULING - See every job on a live board, organized by status and location. - Open a booking to view the customer, service details, address, notes, and attached job-site photos. - Manage your schedule, block out unavailable time, and keep the calendar accurate across the team. DISPATCH & CREW MANAGEMENT - Assign installers and helpers to jobs and keep everyone on the same page. - Manage your team and roles, set availability, and route work by ZIP and service vertical. - A focused home screen for field staff shows specialists exactly the jobs assigned to them. CUSTOMERS - Keep a clean customer record: contact details, service address, and history in one view. - Attach photos, notes, and checklists so the next person on the job has full context. - Capture consultation sign-offs and keep an audit trail of what was agreed. PAYMENTS & PAYOUTS (STRIPE) - Collect payment for completed jobs through Stripe Checkout — card details are handled by Stripe and never touch your servers. - Onboard your company and your crew to Stripe Connect to receive payouts for finished work. - Review and approve worker payouts, with clear expected-earnings breakdowns per job. OFFERS, PRODUCTS & COMMUNICATION - Build offers and quotes, manage your product catalog, and send the right information to customers. - Keep an inbox and message threads tied to each job so nothing gets lost. - Email templates and activity history keep customer communication consistent. INSIGHTS - A dashboard and pulse view give you the numbers that matter: what's booked, what's in progress, and what's done. - Notifications and an audit feed keep the whole team aware of changes in real time. BUILT FOR TEAMS - Multi-company support: switch between locations or businesses you manage. - Role-based access so each person sees only what they should. - Push notifications keep field staff and office staff in sync. Bookpluto requires an account with a participating company. It is designed for the people who run the business — owners, dispatchers, office managers, and field technicians.
