The Problem Nobody Talks About
Every plumber, electrician, and HVAC tech knows the feeling: you finish a job, you're exhausted, and the last thing you want to do is sit down at a computer to create an invoice. So you scribble a note, promise yourself you'll send it tomorrow, and... sometimes you don't.
The average trade business loses 5-10% of revenue to uncollected payments. Not because the customer won't pay — but because the invoice never gets sent.
Why Existing Tools Fail
We looked at every invoicing app on the market. They all share the same fatal flaw: they were designed for people who sit at desks.
- Complex forms with 15+ fields
- Tiny text on small screens
- Requires WiFi to function
- "Sync" that never actually syncs
A plumber working in a crawl space doesn't have time for that. An electrician wearing work gloves can't tap tiny buttons. An HVAC tech finishing their 6th call of the day just wants to go home.
The CORELY Approach
We're building something radically simple:
- Log the job — Voice or 3 taps. That's it.
- Auto-invoice — CORELY creates and sends the invoice automatically.
- Get paid — Payment link included. Smart reminders handle follow-ups.
No login to a web portal. No syncing between devices. No "CRM" features nobody asked for.
Built for Real Hands
Our buttons are 120px tall. Our text is readable in direct sunlight. Voice input means you never have to type. And everything works offline — because basements don't have WiFi.
What's Next
We're building CORELY in public. Every week, we'll share what we're working on, what we've learned, and where we're headed. If you're a trade pro (or you know one), join the insider list — we'd love your input.
