Kavern Software · Platform
One login. Accounting records the money.
Kavern is software for a contracting company in the United States. The pipeline, the estimate, the schedule, inventory, and hiring share the customer, the job, and the person. A posted dollar still goes through accounting.
How a job moves through the product
Same records
Customers
One company name
The same customer is one record across the sections, unless two records both have emails and those emails differ. The same job name on that customer is one job. The same person email is one person.
Pipeline
Included with accounting
The pipeline is lead, estimate, won, and lost. You can name an owner, a next step, and notes. Marking a deal lost takes one line. Marking it won does not record revenue. You open the customer, the job, and the estimate when the work is real.
Estimates
Two different numbers
An estimate in accounting is a document the customer can accept. Accepting it does not charge them. A takeoff in Estimating is a working number for civil and site work. Neither one posts to the ledger by itself.
Schedule
Books + Jobs, $39
A visit names a person who already works here, a job, a start, and an end. The same person cannot be in two places in that hour. Hours are a working number you copy onto the invoice. The visit does not create the invoice and it does not run payroll.
Inventory
In the account, not on the $19 plan
Inventory can receive, transfer, and count. A receipt can post a journal once. A transfer posts no dollars. The vendor bill is still written in accounting. Inventory is not included in the $19 or $39 price.
Hiring
In the account, not on the accounting price
Hiring is an applicant board. Moving someone to hired can add the same person and an employee row with no password. You set the password. It does not calculate withholding. That section is not on the accounting price.
Published pricing
What checkout will charge
Published pricing is accounting. $19 a month is the ledger, the documents, and a statement file you downloaded from the bank. $39 adds the job and the schedule. Firm locks a closed month and keeps fixed assets. We do not log in to the bank, and we do not file the return.
Estimating, inventory, and hiring are sections in the same account. They are not included in that price. Their own prices stay off this page until checkout is turned on. The buy button still says Opening soon.
Jobber and Housecall Pro are built to quote, schedule, and take a payment, then hand the month to another ledger. ServiceTitan quotes a larger shop and does not print the price. Kavern keeps the ledger. We do not sell a map, a two-way text, or an AI receptionist.
Not in the product: payroll tax, a live bank login, GPS, a dispatch map, and a message that the technician is on the way. Customer invoice payments are not ours to refund. The software bill is a separate charge.
Same product, a different day
10 trades
Plumbing
There is no flat-rate price book, no “on the way” text, and no truck on a map.
HVAC
Visit counts on a service agreement, consumer financing, and a dispatch map are not in the product.
Electrical
Permit logs and load calculations are not features. Bring the number. The software keeps it with the job.
Roofing
Insurance supplements, aerial measurement, and lien waivers are not built. The documents you do send are.
Landscaping
There is no route optimizer and no chemical log. The week is a schedule, not a map.
Cleaning
Clock-in geofences and a photo inspection product are not included.
Painting
Color systems and lead-safe paperwork are not in the product. The software stores the price and the documents you send.
General contracting
Lien waivers, RFIs, selections, and draw schedules in the AIA sense are not in the product.
Concrete and civil
This is not a bond-ready estimating stamp, and it does not read CAD or a drone. Mass haul and bid day follow the estimating plan, which is not on the books card.
Handyman
Online booking and a text that says you are on the way are not included. The customer still gets the document link.
Read pricing before you pay.
The plan page lists the price and what was left off. A consult is a conversation, not a checkout.
Your customer pays you.
The software subscription is a separate charge. Signup is not open yet.
