Embercabin for Trades

Carpentry software for repairs, fit-outs and custom builds

Carpentry work spans an hour hanging a door and a fortnight building a wardrobe wall, and most software only suits one of the two. Embercabin handles both: quick repair visits booked online at fixed prices, and custom builds quoted first, scheduled as day-rate jobs, and invoiced on completion.

Customers, properties and job history stay on record, so the callback three years later starts with the original job in front of you.

Built for how this work actually runs

Small jobs booked online

Repairs and door hangings are bookable services with set durations and prices — customers pick a slot and you keep the saw running.

Custom work starts as a quote

Fit-outs and builds are quoted, and acceptance creates the job automatically. Scope, price and schedule stay attached to each other.

Day-rate scheduling

Multi-day builds sit on the calendar as day-rate jobs, so a fortnight of workshop time is visible and protected.

Property records that remember

Access notes and every previous visit live on the property record — useful when the "quick fix" turns out to have a history.

Invoices and card payments

Invoices generate on completion and customers pay by card straight to your bank. No more shoebox of who-owes-what.

Reviews that build the book

Post-job review requests turn happy customers into the next month’s enquiries.

How it works

Two kinds of work, one system

  1. Book or quote

    Hour-long repairs come straight off your booking link; bespoke work starts as a quote.

  2. Build on schedule

    Accepted quotes become jobs on the calendar, single visits or day-rate runs.

  3. Invoice and get paid

    Completion triggers the invoice; card payment lands in your account.

Frequently asked

Does it suit a handyman business as well as carpentry?
Yes. Any mix of fixed-price visits and quoted project work fits: you define the services, durations and prices, and quotes cover the bespoke jobs.
Can I schedule multi-day projects?
Yes. Custom builds can be scheduled as day-rate jobs across consecutive days, so project time is blocked out honestly on the calendar.
How do quotes work?
Send a quote from Embercabin; when the customer accepts it a job is created automatically, ready to schedule, and the eventual invoice stays linked to both.
Can customers pay by card?
Yes. Card payments run through Stripe directly to your bank account, and invoices track anything settled later.
What does it cost?
There is a free plan with online booking and records. Paid plans start at US$25/month for quotes, invoicing and payments, with no lock-in.
