What "we want an app" actually gets them
This is a working simulation — tap every tab. Home screen, one-minute booking, live job tracking with a van on the way, a membership card, even the push notification (wait for it). It runs as a web app on the customer's phone, installed from the site in two taps.
A feature of the site your customers install from their browser in two taps — no app store, no download. Quoted with the build, not rented monthly.
The tracker. "Danny is 20 minutes out" kills the where-are-they call — the single most-asked question in the trades.
Membership perks live on the home screen. Rebooking is two taps — so they never google a competitor again.
When someone genuinely needs one we build it, scoped tight — $5,000 to $10,000 is where that starts, because the back end is the real work. This simulator is the scoping test: if it covers the job, you do not need one.
