Six things a trades business actually needs.
Most field service platforms ship a hundred features and support none of them well. Kanvo does a smaller number of things, and does them the way the work actually happens.
Lead & Client CRM
Channel-agnostic lead capture tied to full client records — phone, web form, referral, or walk-up all land in the same place. A client record carries every job, estimate, invoice, and message from first contact onward, so nobody has to reconstruct history from a text thread.
Scheduling & Dispatch
Crew scheduling and job dispatch that a working owner can run between site visits. No dedicated dispatcher required, no training course to assign tomorrow's work. Schedule changes propagate to the crew without a phone tree.
Native Client SMS
Two-way SMS tied directly to customer records. Staff can communicate with clients without ever seeing raw contact information, which means texting a customer doesn't hand an employee your client list. Every message is logged against the job it belongs to.
Crew Timeclock
Clock-in and clock-out tied to specific jobs rather than a generic shift. That turns labor into a real number attached to real work — actual job costs instead of an end-of-month guess about where the hours went.
Estimates & Invoicing
Generate, send, and track estimates and invoices from the same platform that holds the job. No exporting to a separate accounting tool to bill work that the system already knows the cost of.
Role-Based Access
Owner, admin, and staff roles with granular permission controls enforced at the data layer. Financial figures and client contact details stay visible only to the people who need them — sensitive data stays where it belongs, not behind a hidden menu item.
Built for operators, not procurement committees.
Kanvo is aimed at owner-operated field service businesses — the ones where the person choosing the software is also the person running the crew.
- Landscaping, hardscape, and grounds maintenance
- Construction and remodeling contractors
- Equipment rental and delivery operations
- Any trade where jobs, crews, and hours have to line up
Superior Landscaping LLC remains Kanvo's first and most demanding customer. Features get proven against a live operation before anyone else sees them.
