Every job scheduled. Every paycheck right.
From the pest control truck to the pool route to the HVAC service call, Netchex keeps your field teams paid accurately and your office out of spreadsheets. One platform for scheduling, payroll, and HR across every home services line you run.
The challenges home services teams face every day.
Home services companies run on routes, seasons, and licensed trades. Most HR platforms weren’t built for a workforce that never sits at a desk.
Multi-location payroll turns into a spreadsheet problem
Run three routes out of two branches and tracking who worked where, at what rate, gets complicated fast. Multiply that by five service lines.
Your techs never see a time clock
Plumbers, HVAC techs, and lawn crews work out of a truck, not a break room. If clocking in needs a physical clock or a desktop login, hours get guessed.
One expired license can shut down a job
EPA applicator licenses, HVAC EPA 608 certs, plumbing licenses, and backflow certifications all expire on different schedules. Miss one and a tech gets pulled off a job.
Your headcount doubles in June and drops in October
Lawn care and pool companies hire seasonal crews every spring. Onboarding that takes three weeks kills a season that only runs twelve.
Certified payroll reports eat a full day every week
HVAC and plumbing contractors on government or commercial jobs need prevailing-wage reporting. Building it by hand from timesheets is slow and error-prone.
There’s a better way to run it
Netchex connects scheduling, time tracking, payroll, and licensing in one system built for field-based teams, so your office spends less time chasing paperwork.
How the home services industry is changing.
Labor shortages are reshaping recruiting
Home services companies compete with retail and warehouse jobs for the same hourly workforce. Faster hiring wins the best techs.
Route density is becoming the profit lever
As fuel and labor costs climb, scheduling and payroll need to talk to each other, not live in separate systems.
Compliance scrutiny on trade licensing is increasing
State boards are tightening enforcement on EPA, HVAC, and plumbing credentials. Automated tracking is table stakes now.
Financial wellness benefits are a retention tool
Home service companies offering earned wage access keep seasonal and hourly techs longer, cutting rehire and retraining costs.
