Frequently asked questions

Everything appliance repair owners and technicians ask about Taskrol — the free-forever Solo plan, the 7-day Pro trial, the AI Agent, moving from your current software, and how it compares to a generic CRM.

How much does Taskrol cost?

Taskrol offers Solo (free forever for one technician and one company), plus Basic and Pro plans priced per seat and per company. Basic and Pro include AI-generated invoices. Optional paid add-ons are Voice & SMS telephony, AI Agent minute packs, and Automatic ETA & tax rate. There is also a separate one-time AI Agent trial ($10) for 50 AI minutes (and a reserved business number if you do not already have Voice & SMS) — it is not a CRM or telephony subscription. Card payment processing fees apply when you take cards. Every new account gets seven days of Pro with full access at sign-up, and no credit card is required to start. See the pricing page for current totals.

Is there a free trial, and do I need a credit card?

Yes. Every new account starts with 7 days of Pro with full access, and no credit card is required to sign up. When the 7 days end, the account continues on the free Solo plan unless you subscribe to Basic or Pro. If you subscribe, the exact amount is shown at checkout before you confirm.

What is Taskrol?

Taskrol is an appliance repair CRM and field service software by Kereon Inc. It runs jobs, clients, parts inventory, invoices, payments, technician scheduling, and SMS in one app for iOS, Android, and web — purpose-built for appliance repair companies rather than a generic CRM.

How is Taskrol different from a generic CRM like HubSpot or Salesforce?

Generic CRMs are built around sales pipelines and contacts. Taskrol is built around the real appliance repair workflow: parts and warehouse inventory, the appliance recorded on every job, jobs on a map, van and technician assignment, field invoicing, and payments. Everything is designed for how repair companies actually work in the field.

Does Taskrol work on mobile and web?

Yes. Taskrol has native apps for iOS and Android for technicians in the field, plus a web app at app.taskrol.com for office and back-office work. Your data stays in sync across all devices.

What kind of businesses use Taskrol?

Taskrol is built for appliance and HVAC equipment repair companies — work where each unit carries a model and serial plate — from solo technicians to multi-company operations with office staff and field crews.

Does Taskrol use AI?

Yes. On Basic and Pro, AI reads brand, model and serial off a photo of the appliance's data plate and drafts invoices from the parts and labor on the job. The AI Agent, an optional add-on, answers the calls you miss, checks the caller's ZIP, offers real technician windows and books the job.

What is the AI Agent trial?

A one-time $10 trial of Taskrol's AI Agent: 50 AI minutes on real calls. Without Voice & SMS the trial includes one business number, held for 50 days; with Voice & SMS, the minutes apply to your existing number. Separate from monthly CRM plans and Voice & SMS. SMS and A2P registration come with a paid Voice & SMS plan. Setup steps (company and technician schedules and ZIP areas) are on the AI Agent trial page.

Can Taskrol send SMS and appointment updates to customers?

Yes, with the optional Voice & SMS add-on: phone numbers, SMS templates, and automatic appointment, on-my-way and job-status texts. The drive-time ETA in those texts is the separate Automatic ETA & tax rate add-on. It uses compliance-friendly consent (opt-in) flows so you can text customers responsibly.

Can you move my data from Housecall Pro, Workiz, Jobber, or another system?

Yes, migration is available. Housecall Pro (the customer list), Workiz and Markate import directly in the Taskrol web app under Settings → Database import. From any other system, send your export to [email protected] and our support team does the migration for you — we move what your old system exports.

Does Taskrol integrate with QuickBooks?

Yes, with QuickBooks Online, on the Basic and Pro plans. The company owner connects it in Settings → QuickBooks with Intuit's sign-in and maps Taskrol's line types to QuickBooks items once. From then on each job's customer, invoice, payments, tips, card surcharges and refunds are sent to QuickBooks as the job is completed and paid, one way from Taskrol. For a bookkeeper who prefers a file, the web report on Basic and Pro also exports a CSV of jobs with revenue, card net received, margin, parts cost, taxes, and tips.

Does Taskrol optimize routes?

Yes, on the day's map. Every visit is a pin numbered in schedule order with its arrival time, and the dispatcher plans and optimizes the route there by setting that order and dragging jobs between technicians and hours. Work is assigned by each technician's work schedule and service area (ZIP codes).

How does a part get from the catalog to the job?

Search the model's parts list or open its parts diagram on the job and add the part: it lands on the job and on the shopping list with its part number. The lookups use the Encompass appliance parts catalog, with no Encompass account needed. Buy the part from your supplier as you do now and record the quantity, the price and the supplier with Buy on the job. When the part arrives, mark the job Parts received and it shows in Ready to install, waiting to be scheduled.

Does Taskrol work for HVAC?

Yes, for HVAC equipment repair. Taskrol is built for appliance and HVAC equipment repair, where each unit carries a model and serial plate.

Can you build a custom report for my business?

Yes. Reports in Taskrol are built from your real jobs and parts, with a CSV export on the web, and we'll build any report you ask for. Write to [email protected] with what you need to see.
