Parts and hours are leaking off your bills.
Techs forget to write down parts and extra time. With LineTack they text it, and your office approves each line.
The LineTack Pilot is open to US shops today: one tech free on Solo, or 2 to 4 techs on Crew.
There is no automatic approval, and LineTack does not create or send invoices to your customers.
Where the money leaks off a job
You're paying for your customers' parts
The job gets billed; the parts often don't. They get used on the customer's house and paid for out of your pocket.
The most expensive 45 minutes of the day
A tech stays late to finish right. Nobody writes it down, so the shop eats the time.

Field
Your tech texts the part before it's forgotten
They text the part and the job. LineTack replies so they know it landed.
-
Approval
You check each line and approve it
A morning of texts clears in one pass. Fix a price if it's off, then approve.

Customer
It comes back ready to bill
Approved lines come to you ready to copy onto your invoice.
Approved lines come to you as a CSV e-mail, with the job on every line, ready to copy onto your invoice. On Crew, once QuickBooks® is connected (connecting soon), they go in as billable charges on the QuickBooks job instead.
Built for trade shops with crews
Wherever the person buying the parts isn't the person doing the billing.
- If you do the billingYour techs buy the parts and you write the bill. LineTack is the part of the day you keep putting off.
- If you run the shopYou're chasing receipts out of five trucks at nine at night. The queue replaces that hour.
- If you run the officeThey stop calling techs to ask what a charge was for. The text is the answer, attached to the line.
Questions owners ask
Can a tech bill a customer on their own?
Do my techs need an app?
Does it export to QuickBooks?
Billable expense tracking in QuickBooks Online will require the Plus or Advanced plan.
Can I use it today?
Free means $0. Solo is $0 a month — one tech, no card, not a trial. Crew is free until January 2027: we take a card now, we don't charge it before then, and if you cancel first you pay nothing.
What we do with what you text us
It's your job data and your customers' addresses. Plain terms, no fine print.
Never sold, never brokered to suppliers or lead vendors. Your mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes.
Texts are matched to numbers you authorize. Unknown numbers get nothing back.
Each shop's data is kept separate from every other shop's.
Approved lines come to you as CSV files, and what was written to QuickBooks stays in QuickBooks. Cancel and we delete on request.
