What actually happens on a job.

For your tech: two minutes at the truck.

Open the job. Point the camera at the dataplate. Dataplate pulls make, model, serial, and refrigerant off it and works out the year it was built. Take before-and-after photos as you go — they're already tied to the job and the unit. When you're done, say what you found and what you did, in whatever words you'd use to tell the dispatcher. Dataplate turns that into a clean write-up. Read it, fix anything that's wrong, tap send.

• Works with no signal.

  Basements, mechanical rooms, rural jobs. Photos and notes queue on the phone and sync when you're back in range. You never lose a job to a dead zone.
• The AI drafts. You sign.

  The write-up is a draft in your voice, not a form. Change a word, cut a line, add what the AI didn't see. Nothing leaves the phone until you've read it.
• No nameplate typing.

  Serial numbers are 14 characters of nothing on a plate covered in grime. Point the camera; if the read is uncertain, it says so instead of guessing.

For you: the write-up's done before the truck leaves the driveway.

Every completed job shows up with the photos, the write-up, the unit's details, and the recommendation — the same afternoon, not Friday. When a customer approves a recommendation, you get the notification, not a voicemail three weeks later. When a customer calls back, you open the address and see every unit you've ever touched there.

• Every job, written up, the day it happened.

  No more “what did you do at the Hendersons’?”
• Approvals land in your inbox.

  The customer tapped yes on the report. Now you're scheduling a replacement, not chasing a maybe.
• The equipment record follows the address.

  Techs change. The customer's 2014 condenser doesn't. Whoever shows up next knows the history.

For your customer: a page they'll actually read.

A text or email with a link. Your logo. Photos of what the tech saw and what they fixed. Plain-English findings. The unit's make and age. A recommendation, if there is one, and a button to approve it. It looks like the report the big shops send — because now you have one too.

Every report ends with “Documented with Dataplate.” Your customer’s neighbor sees that. So does the property manager comparing you to three other bids.

The nameplate is the whole idea.

Most job software is organized around the job: a date, an address, a pile of photos. Dataplate is organized around the unit. When the tech snaps the dataplate, Dataplate creates a record for that piece of equipment — make, model, serial, refrigerant, the year it was built — and every job after that attaches to it. That’s why the report can say “12 years old.” That’s why the recommendation can be drafted before the tech types a word. And that’s why, after a year of jobs, you’ll know more about the equipment in your service area than anyone else in town.
