Executive Summary

Small repair and maintenance shops today juggle fragmented point tools, paper notes and ad-hoc spreadsheets to manage jobs, invoices and customers, which creates billing delays, lost parts visibility and poor customer follow-up for an estimated 3.0M potential customers globally. Technicians and owners—often SMBs with limited admin staff—are pushed to trade billable hours for manual data entry and status chasing, slowing throughput and increasing churn. The product to build is an integrated, mobile-first operations suite combining job tracking, invoicing, customer management, parts catalog and supplier API integrations, offline-capable technician apps, e-signatures and AI-assisted workflows that extract estimates from photos and texts to speed data entry. With a $9.0B addressable market (3.0M shops × $3.0K ACV), a Market Score of 92/100 and strong Revenue Potential (84/100), this is a time-limited opportunity as cloud adoption, AI tooling and parts APIs converge to reduce friction and lower TCO for shops. To stand out you must go deep on the vertical: best-in-class AI models tuned to repair workflows, pre-built supplier integrations, superior offline mobile UX and a pricing/support model that fits cash-constrained SMBs. Strengths are a large, well-scoped TAM and clear operational ROI levers; challenges include messy, inconsistent parts data, integration complexity and selling to high-volume, low-budget customers, so initial traction should focus on tight pilot partnerships and demonstrable metrics (faster estimates, fewer invoice disputes) before scaling.

Market Opportunity

All-in-one shop operations: job tracking, invoicing & customer mgmt targets a $9.0B = 3.0M repair & maintenance shops worldwide x $3.0K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% (digitization of SMB operations & SaaS adoption in trade services).

Key trends driving demand: AI-assisted workflows -- reduces time-to-estimate, automates data entry from photos and texts, and increases technician throughput.; Mobile-first service operations -- technicians expect mobile apps for job updates, parts lookup and e-signatures, increasing adoption of cloud-native solutions.; Parts & supplier integration -- API access to parts catalogs and pricing allows automated quotes and inventory optimization.; Consolidation of small-business stacks -- SMBs prefer fewer, integrated tools to reduce reconciliation work and subscription overhead..
