You work where the customers are, not behind a counter. CrankPal gives you a calendar, an optimised route, customer messaging and on-site payments, all from your phone. No fixed premises and no back office.
The mobile mechanic has no counter to jot down jobs: just the van and a smartphone. CrankPal puts calendar, customers, work orders and checkout in a single app, so you run the day wherever you are, without going home for the paperwork.
Every extra house call is time and fuel. The route planner orders the day's stops along the shortest path and tells you distance, driving time and estimated duration. Fit more jobs into the same day and navigate to the next stop with a tap.
When your hands are on the bike you can't answer the phone. CrankPal cyclists book from the app and the appointment drops straight into your calendar, with the house-call address and diagnosis already attached. You open your phone and know where to go, with no back office screening calls.
Let them know you're on the way, send the quote, ask to confirm a part: all in the CrankPal app chat and by email, with the customer record in view. The customer stays updated and you keep work separate from your personal phone.
When the job is done you get paid right away: SoftPOS turns your phone into a contactless card reader, or you send a payment link the customer settles from their own phone. Receipt and e-invoice go out from the same software, with no terminal to carry around.
With no shop window, getting found is the hardest part. As soon as you activate the software you're on the CrankPal app map: cyclists in your area find you, see that you come to them and book. This is included from the free plan too.
The free plan is free forever: calendar, customers, bikes and work orders with no time limit and no credit card. Add the route planner and on-site payments as the round grows.
No. CrankPal is designed for people who work only on the road too: calendar, customers, work orders, communication and checkout all live in the app, with no need for a physical workshop or a back office.
No, to be clear: the route planner that optimises the house-call round is included in the Pro and Enterprise plans. Bookings, calendar and highlighted house calls work already on the free plan.
With SoftPOS your phone becomes a contactless card reader and accepts cards and phones tap-to-pay; alternatively you send a payment link the customer settles from their phone. SoftPOS and e-invoicing are included in the Pro and Enterprise plans.
Yes. Start on the free plan, free forever, and move to Pro when you need the route planner, SoftPOS and e-invoicing. Your data stays: change plan whenever you like, without starting over.
