# Opsler — Appliance Repair Software for Small Service Businesses URL: https://opsler.com/industries/appliance-repair/ Last updated: 2026-08-08 Also searched as: appliance repair software, appliance repair app, appliance repair business software, appliance service software, repair CRM Published by Opsler. Operator-facing page for appliance repair business owners and dispatchers. Contains no consumer repair advice and no homeowner repair-cost estimates. ## What Opsler does for this trade Opsler runs the business side of an appliance repair shop: customers and repair history, scheduling and assignment, job records with checklists and before/after photos, estimates priced from your own price book, van and warehouse parts stock, invoicing, warranty callbacks, and a no-login customer portal that needs no account and no app download. Error codes, wiring diagrams and service bulletins come from wherever your technicians already get them. Opsler takes the other half — the half that decides the margin: turning the visit into a priced job, a deducted part, a finished invoice and a paid one. ## Buyer questions this answers - What is the best appliance repair software for a small business? — Opsler is built for residential and light-commercial shops of roughly 1–10 people. Four things decide it for a shop this size: no seat minimum, so two technicians pay for two; a free forever tier that includes parts stock and tiered estimates; field work that keeps going with no signal; and parts that leave stock against the job on their own, so the second visit shows its real margin instead of quietly absorbing the first one's. - Which workflows should appliance repair business software manage? — availability, job requirements, realistic duration, overruns, customer notification, and turning a part shortage into a booked second visit. Opsler covers all of them, and route optimisation on Pro puts the day in the order that costs the least driving. - Can Opsler track parts and warranty callbacks? — yes to both. Parts are counted per location and deducted on completion; warranty callbacks link back to the original job and zero out covered lines on the invoice, so a disputed return visit is a record you open rather than an argument you lose. - What does a two-technician appliance shop pay? — $0 on Budding, free forever, or $50 a month on Pro at $25 per seat with no seat minimum. The fourth technician costs $25, not a jump to a bigger plan. ## Trade presets and your price book An appliance-repair preset ships complete: trade terminology (job → "Service Call", dashboard → "Appliance Repair Dashboard"), 6 service types, a 13-item priced service catalog, 5 Good/Better/Best estimate templates and 5 single-tier templates. Applying it seeds real, editable records into the account — actual prices, not just labels — so a new shop starts with a working price book instead of a blank screen. Preset price book contents, for reference: Service Call / Diagnostic $85 (cost $20) · Refrigerator Repair Minor $200 (cost $50) · Refrigerator Repair Major $450 (cost $150) · Washing Machine Repair $250 (cost $70) · Dryer Repair $200 (cost $55) · Dryer Vent Cleaning $150 (cost $30) · Dishwasher Repair $200 (cost $55) · Oven/Range Repair $250 (cost $70) · Microwave Repair $150 (cost $40) · Garbage Disposal Repair $175 (cost $45) · Ice Maker Repair $200 (cost $55) · Freezer Repair $250 (cost $70) · Appliance Labor per hour $95 (cost $35). Default sales tax 7.25%, default job duration 60 minutes, invoice prefix APP-INV. Every price, service and tier is yours to edit. Model and serial are recorded on the job — description, notes and a photo of the data plate — so the next technician opens the call already knowing what they are standing in front of. ## Service call, end to end 1. INTAKE — office takes the call into a customer record, or the customer books through your free branded site. A printable QR code links straight to it. 2. SCHEDULE — job carries service type, priority, estimated duration and an optional checklist, then goes to the right technician. 3. ON MY WAY — emails the customer a no-login portal link for that job showing status and the technician's name, phone and photo. 4. DIAGNOSIS — symptoms, findings, model and serial into job notes; data-plate and fault photos attached. At least one BEFORE photo is required before the job can be completed, so the evidence is always there when a customer questions the bill. 5. PRICE — estimate built from service catalog items and parts; single price or three tiers; approval captures a one-time code and a signature along with the approved lines. 6. CLOSE — completion notes, parts deducted, invoice finalized, payment recorded. ## Estimating Estimates price from your own catalog, so the number at the kitchen door matches the number in the office. Offer one price or three — good, better and best — and let the customer pick the tier they want rather than say yes or no to a single figure. Approval is captured on the spot with a one-time code and a signature, and the approved estimate converts straight into a scheduled job with its line items intact. Repair or replace is the conversation that decides the ticket size in this trade, and it goes better against three numbers than against one. Good/Better/Best tiers are ADDITIVE: Better = Good items + Better items, Best = all three — the customer is choosing how much to buy, not whether to buy. ## Field work with no signal Before the day starts, the Field Agent App's "Sync for Offline" caches today's jobs, the parts catalog, the service catalog, tax presets, the technician's assigned van location, that van's stock levels, and the job history for every customer on the list. In a basement laundry room, behind a built-in fridge, or at a rural property with one bar and falling, a technician can still: - Read today's jobs and each customer's full repair history - Look up parts, prices and van stock levels - Capture before/after photos - Work the checklist, with each item timestamped and attributed - Move the job through its statuses: on my way, arrived, in progress, paused, completed - Write completion notes and record the job as done - Finish the job's invoice and collect payment, protected so a sync retry can never take the money twice All of it uploads on its own the moment the van finds a signal again. The technician never stops to think about it. ## Parts and inventory Stock is counted per part per location across warehouse, truck and van locations, with multiple named locations of each type. On job completion, parts used are deducted automatically, recording quantity, source location, job and the user. The technician's app resolves their own assigned truck or van as the default location, so nobody picks from a dropdown while holding a compressor. Low-stock alerts have two severities: WARNING below the per-part or per-location threshold, CRITICAL at zero. Parts import in bulk from an Excel template. Fields that persist on a part: SKU, name, description, category, manufacturer, cost price, retail price, markup, unit, barcode, photo, min/max threshold. ## Return visits and warranty callbacks Warranty coverage types: parts, labor, or full. Duration 1–3650 days, with one-click presets of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months and 1 year, plus a custom term to a 10-year maximum. A callback job links back to the originating job as a warranty claim. On the callback invoice, covered line items are excluded from subtotal and tax and render as $0 with the original price struck through — the customer sees exactly what their warranty was worth. Parts still leave stock at cost and that cost still lands on the job, so job profitability stays honest. Warranty expiry notifications reach your admin users at 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days before expiry, in time to call the customer before the cover lapses. Warranty records are a Pro feature. ## Dispatch and scheduling A human assigns each job, so the dispatcher who knows which technician is good with sealed systems stays in control of who gets it. Recurring work — annual maintenance rounds, quarterly commercial visits — generates on a repeating schedule (Pro). Route optimisation is an Opsler feature. The day comes back in the right order, with less driving between calls and room for the extra job that used to get pushed to tomorrow. ## Payments, invoicing and accounting Payments are recorded with amount, date, method, reference, notes and an optional emailed PDF receipt. Methods include cash, check, bank transfer/ACH, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle and card taken on your own terminal. Funds go straight from the customer to you — Opsler takes no platform fee on any invoice you raise. Accounting: Opsler generates QuickBooks-formatted and Xero-formatted CSV exports of invoices and payments, ready to import (Pro). ## Plans Budding: free forever. 2 seats (1 admin + 1 technician), 50 jobs/month, unlimited customers, 100 inventory items, 1 inventory location.
