Try free for 14 days. No payment details, ends automatically. How the trial works
The work itself might take an hour, and the admin around it just as long. And because each job isn't worth a fortune, every minute spent retyping and chasing hurts all the more. Get the front end sorted and you can fit two more jobs into a day.
How Corvo Apex helps, in three steps
The whole job in one conversation
The assistant asks what needs doing, the address, for a photo and when suits the customer. For standard jobs with a set price, it can give an indication straight away, if you provide one.
Scheduled smartly, route included
Jobs in the same area land on the same day, and the customer gets a confirmation and a reminder. In My day you see your route in order.
Close the job and get paid on the spot
After the job, log the time and any materials, and the customer pays there and then with a payment link or on account. The invoice goes to your books once you've approved it.
Set up in the language of your trade
For a handyman business you see lots of short jobs per day, put in route order, each with its photo and what was agreed.
Not just software, but a partner who thinks with you
Corvo Apex isn't a standalone program you have to figure out yourself. We think with you and take care of it.
We set it up personally
Together with you, so it fits the way your business works.
We take work off your hands
What repeats runs by itself. You keep time for your trade and your customers.
We think along with you
You see how your business is doing, and get suggestions to do better.

A self-employed handyman in Nijverdal
This is a worked example, not a real customer. As soon as there's a real case, you'll find it here.
Starting point. A self-employed handyman with a van, doing six to eight jobs a day. Customers call and message all over the place, often while he's up a ladder. Invoices get done at the weekend, sometimes weeks later.
What we set up. Office Solo, with a short intake, jobs in route order in My day, on-the-spot payment with a payment link, and a review request after every job.
What you'd see after a month. No more missed calls, invoices sent on the day instead of at the weekend, and a growing number of reviews bringing in new customers.
Questions from the field
Can the assistant quote a fixed price?
Yes, if you provide guide prices for standard jobs. For anything bespoke it books a visit or passes the question to you.
Are jobs in the same area grouped together?
The schedule shows where you'll be that day, so it's easy to combine nearby jobs.
Can customers pay straight away?
Yes. When closing a job you choose cash or card, a payment link, or on account.
Does it send a review request automatically?
Yes, if you tick the box when closing the job.
Isn't this overkill for a one-person business?
Not at all. When you do everything yourself, it saves the most time. Office Solo is made for exactly that.
