The 5 things that decide whether your handyman business works as a real shop or stays a one-person hustle, multi-task quoting that bundles the TV mount and the fan and the drywall patch into one ticket, online booking that converts the Sunday-night homeowner, route density that fits 6 multi-task stops a Tuesday, real margin per task, and before-and-after photo records that bring you back next month. All in one app. Built for the tech who's patched 9 nail-pop holes in a Brooklyn apartment ceiling at the end of a 12-hour Friday.
Customer wants TV mount and ceiling fan + 3 drywall patches and a leaky faucet. Build the bundled quote in 5 minutes, $185 TV mount and $145 fan install and $95 drywall (3 patches) and $60 faucet replace = $485, signed digitally, deposit captured. You stop quoting one number at a time and watching them pick the cheapest task.
Embed a booking form. Customer picks the tasks (TV mount, ceiling fan, drywall patch, faucet, doorbell, fence repair, gutter cleaning, pressure washing). They get an instant quote, pay a deposit, and the job lands on your dispatch board pre-filled. You sleep at midnight. The booking lands at 11:47pm. The visit is on Thursday.
Route optimization puts the day's stops in the shortest driving order with one tap. For example, a Tuesday with 3 stops and heavy cross-town driving could tighten into 6 stops in the same Brooklyn neighborhood. Same labor, same fuel, a lot more revenue for the day.
Materials, labor, drive time, tracked per task. Your $185 TV mount shows 78% margin (1-hour, no parts). Your $95 drywall patch shows 67%. Your $145 ceiling fan shows 51% because the customer's wiring needed a junction box upgrade. Now you know what tasks to price up and what to push.
Every task gets a before and after photo saved to the address on Crew. The customer portal, included on every plan, shows the visit history. Mrs. Park calls back next month for a doorbell install, you pull up the address and see the gate code, the dog Bowie, and the 4 tasks you completed last visit. The 90-minute visit becomes a 35-minute precision install.
Starter is $19/mo. Texting, AI and dispatch start on Crew at $39. The phone line and AI receptionist are on Business at $79.
Handyman is the most fragmented trade in residential service. Every visit is a different combination of tasks. TV mount, fan install, drywall patch, doorbell, fence repair, faucet replace, deck stain. The shops that scale from one truck to three run two things differently: they bundle multiple tasks into one bigger ticket, and they track which tasks pay so they stop running 35% margin work that feels productive but isn't.
Claver was built for the multi-task day. One visit, one customer, four to six tasks bundled into one $485 ticket, quoted on-site, signed digitally, deposit captured before you leave the hallway. No "call me back tomorrow with a price." No customer assembling a piecemeal quote from three competitors. Just one bundled job that's on the calendar before you get back to the truck.
The bundled quote is the engine. Margin tracking is what tells you which tasks to grow.
When you walk into Mrs. Park's apartment in Park Slope and she has six things on her list, the bundled quote builds itself. $185 TV mount and $145 ceiling fan install and $95 drywall (3 patches) and $60 faucet replace and $45 doorbell install and $25 picture hanging (4 frames) = $555. She sees the breakdown, picks all of it, signs digitally, pays a 25% deposit. The job is on Tuesday's calendar. You stop watching her pick three of six tasks and ghost you on the rest.
Online booking is what catches the Sunday-night homeowner. The Brooklyn renter notices the leaky faucet Saturday afternoon, lives with it Sunday, and at 9:32pm Sunday night decides to do something. If your only CTA is "call us Monday at 8am," half those leads are booked with TaskRabbit by Monday morning. Claver's booking widget lets her pick the tasks (faucet replace and the doorbell that's been broken for 6 months and the bathroom drywall patch), enter the address, get an instant quote, pay a deposit, and the job lands on Tuesday's dispatch board. You wake up to four new bundled bookings already scheduled.
Route optimization is what can turn a 3-stop Tuesday into a 6-stop Tuesday. Claver's route optimization puts the day's stops in the shortest driving order with one tap. For example, a Tuesday with 3 stops and 90 minutes of cross-borough driving could become 6 stops in the same Park Slope/Carroll Gardens corridor. Same tech, same labor, a lot more revenue for the day.
Margin per task is what separates the handyman shops that scale from the ones that stay solo. Your $185 TV mount shows 78% margin, 1-hour visit, no parts beyond brackets. Your $95 drywall patch shows 67%, fast, low material. Your $145 ceiling fan shows 51% because the customer's old wiring needed a junction box upgrade you ate. Your $325 garage organization shows 22% because it took 5 hours and you bought $80 of bins from Home Depot. Now you know what to push, what to reprice, and what tasks to politely refuse.
And photo records bring the customer back next month. Every task gets a before and after photo saved to the address. The customer's portal shows the visit history. When Mrs. Park calls back in 5 weeks for the doorbell install (the one she didn't pick last time), you pull up the address and see the gate code, the dog Bowie who barks at the door, the alarm code, the 4 tasks you completed in October, and the photos. The 90-minute discovery visit becomes a 35-minute precision install. That's the customer who calls you for everything for the next 4 years.
