FIELDAMIGO
Vol. I · №1 · Tampa, FL
Jobs, scheduling, invoicing, your whole crew — built to fit your shop, not the other way around. Let us host and run it for you, or own it outright on your own server. Same system either way — take the keys whenever you're ready. No vendor lock-in, ever.
"Five years from now, you'll have paid for your current CRM more times than you paid for your truck — and at the end of it, you still won't own a thing."
| What you're paying now | 5-year cost | You'd save |
|---|---|---|
| Jobber ($129/mo) | $7,740 | $4,760 |
| HouseCall Pro ($149/mo) | $8,940 | $5,960 |
| ServiceTitan ($500/mo) | $30,000+ | $27,000+ |
Scope: this replaces your CRM (HouseCall Pro / Jobber / ServiceTitan). Payroll (ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll) is a separate concern; your existing payroll setup is unaffected.
Not ready to buy outright? Start on a managed plan — I host and run it, you pay monthly — then graduate to owning it and stop the meter. The math above is exactly why you'll want to. See both ways →
I host it, patch it, back it up, and support it. You get a working CRM with your branding and a predictable monthly bill — no server to babysit, nothing to stand up yourself. The easy front door for shops that aren't ready to take on ownership.
A one-time build, deployed on your own VPS under your own accounts. You hold the source, the data, the domain — it runs whether or not you ever pay me another dollar. Maximum control, and the lowest long-run cost (see §01).
crm.yourbiz.com)Start a trip, tag it business or personal, jot the reason. Fieldamigo logs the miles per vehicle, applies your cents-per-mile rate, and tallies the deductible dollars as you drive. At tax time, export one accountant-ready CSV — date, vehicle, purpose, miles, deduction — for the whole year or any pay period. No shoebox of receipts, no $60-a-year mileage app bolted on the side. It's just in there.
Jobber, Housecall Pro, FreshBooks — all of them run thousands of businesses out of one big shared database. It's the normal way to build software, and the most common way it fails: one bug, one query, and one company's records spill into another's. Fieldamigo can't fail that way, because there is no shared database. Your build runs as your own isolated instance — your own database, your own backups, behind your own domain.
Your CRM is a single-tenant build — yours and only yours. No other business shares your database, your application, or your backups. The breach where another company's data leaks into yours isn't guarded against; it's structurally impossible.
Payments run on Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 processor — the same security tier the card networks require of the largest payment companies in the world. When a customer pays, the card goes straight into Stripe's vault. Your CRM only ever sees "paid" or "unpaid." There's no card data anywhere in your system for anyone to steal.
Your CRM sits behind Cloudflare with zero ports open to the public internet — visitors come in through the same network banks and government sites use. Traffic is encrypted end to end, and your data is backed up every day, encrypted, kept with your instance. The automated attacks that hammer unprotected servers all day literally can't see yours.
Window cleaners on ropes. Solar crews on roofs. Anyone working at height or around live hazards. For those jobs, "did everyone do the safety check?" can't be an honest guess at the end of the day — it has to be a wall the work can't get past. That wall is the JHA Safety Gate.
The job won't advance to "work started" until the assigned tech completes and signs the Job Hazard Analysis for it. No sign-off, no start. The crew can't quietly skip it, and you don't have to chase anyone to confirm they did it.
Every sign-off records who signed, the exact time, the GPS location, the device used, and the signature itself — attached to the job the moment it happens. Nobody has to remember to log it.
Export a clean PDF safety record for any job: every hazard acknowledged, every approval, every timestamp, in order. Each entry is sealed into a hash-chain, so the record is tamper-evident — the PDF re-verifies the chain and flags any entry changed after the fact. The documentation you'd want on hand the day someone asks what happened on site.
Fieldamigo documents and enforces your safety program — it doesn't replace it or make your shop compliant on its own. The included Job Hazard Analysis templates are customizable starting points you adapt to your own work, not legal advice.
This isn't a SaaS sign-up where you adapt to the software. It's a custom build where the software adapts to you. Here's how it goes:
30-minute call, free, no commitment. We talk about your shop, your workflow, what you use now, what you wish was different — and you see the working software.
I provision your VPS, point your domain at it, deploy a fresh CRM with your branding (logo, colors, business name).
Tailored to your shop's way of working. Job types you actually use. Invoice templates with your line items and tax structure. Customer fields for the data your crew captures. Employee roles based on how your team is organized. This is where Fieldamigo stops being a template and starts being your tool.
Import your existing customers (CSV from any major CRM works). I sit with you and your crew until everyone can use it.
You're running on it. Bugs fixed free during the support window. After that, optional retainer or hourly. Cancel the retainer any time — the system doesn't stop.
— and the system keeps running, with or without me.
$500 setup provisions and tailors your instance — and it credits toward the build if you graduate to owning. Every tier includes unlimited users; I never charge per seat.
Core customer + invoicing system, fully yours. Upgrade later and the $500 applies as credit. Don't upgrade and you keep what's built. Zero risk.
Optional retainer: $99/mo — monitoring, updates, support. Cancel any time. Your system keeps running.
What it doesn't cover: major new feature builds (quoted separately), VPS-provider issues at the hosting layer (their domain, not mine), staff training beyond initial onboarding.
I'm not pretending this is charity. Here's my side, plainly — because the whole pitch falls apart if I'm not as honest about what I get out of this as I am about what you do.
The build fee is my livelihood. After I cover hosting, tools, and my own time during discovery, build, training, and the support window, I clear a real but modest cut of each project. If you ever want the breakdown for the build I quote you, I'll show you the spreadsheet.
Each shop I deliver is a portfolio piece. Early customers are worth more to me than the dollar amount because they're proof this works in the real world, not just on mine. I'd ask permission to reference you when I talk to the next prospect. You can always say no, and you can revoke it any time.
And if we work together and it goes well, a referral to one other service-business owner is worth more than any ad I could buy.
One more thing — and to me, it's the most important part. I treat your data the way I treat my own — literally the same backup pipeline, same care, same instinct that says this isn't anyone else's business. Out of reach of data brokers, ransomware, and the careless mishandling that turns into news stories.
I'm one person, not a team of fifty in a data center. No help desk to escalate through, no anonymous engineer with access to your tables, no analytics group quietly mining your patterns. When something goes wrong, it goes wrong on my watch — and I'm the one fixing it.
— Charles, in Tampa
I'm one person, and one person can get hit by a bus — so ownership has to mean ownership in the worst case too. There's a real five-layer plan behind that: you own the server, you can export your whole database any time, it's emailed to you monthly, the retainer is always optional, and you hold the source with a weekly dead-man's check-in. Any one alone is meaningful; all five together, your shop doesn't notice I'm gone.
"If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, your shop runs Wednesday."
I run The Chandelier Cleaning Guy — a family operation in California and Florida. I'm based in Tampa, where I do the Florida work myself. My son-in-law runs the California route; I manage it from here. I built this CRM to run it — customer management, Stripe payments, digital document signing, automated invoicing — because every off-the-shelf tool was either too expensive, too generic, or both. It runs my business every day.
The workflows are refined through running a real cleaning operation every day, across two states, with crew I trust — the kind of details SaaS templates skip. Chandelier cleaning is a niche; the bones underneath — jobs, photos, quotes, recurring customers, scheduling around real humans — are the same bones every service operation runs on.
What you'd see on a screen-share is real working software, not slides — the same code base in actual daily use, with real workflows and real records. When you and I get on a call, that's what I walk you through, line by line.
I show you the live system. You ask anything you want. If it fits your shop, we talk numbers. If it doesn't, you've still seen what owning your own CRM can look like — that's worth thirty minutes either way.
