Run Your Entire Business
from Your Phone
The Business Genie mobile app puts scheduling, invoicing, payments, time tracking, GPS, and customer management in your technicians' pockets. Works offline. Available on iOS and Android.
Everything Your Technicians Need in the Field
iOS and Android Native App
A purpose-built app for both platforms, not a clunky mobile website. Fast, responsive, and designed for use with gloves, in bright sunlight, and on job sites.
Full Offline Mode
Work in basements, rural areas, or any location without cell service. Create invoices, capture photos, collect signatures, and track time. Everything syncs when you reconnect.
Photo and Video Capture
Take before-and-after photos, document existing conditions, and record video walkthroughs. Photos attach directly to the job record for future reference.
Digital Signatures
Collect customer signatures for estimates, work authorizations, and job completion directly on the technician's phone. Legally binding and stored with the job record.
Built-In Time Tracking
Technicians clock in and out with one tap. Time is tracked per job with GPS verification. Overtime is calculated automatically and timesheets export for payroll.
Mobile Invoicing and Payments
Create invoices on-site and collect payment before leaving. Accept credit cards, debit, and ACH through the app. Receipts send automatically.

Why a Mobile-First App
Changes Everything
Your Team Works in the Field, Not Behind Desks
Technicians spend their day in attics, crawl spaces, backyards, and basements. Software that only works well on a desktop is useless to them. If the mobile experience is clunky, slow, or unreliable, your team will stop using it and fall back to paper and phone calls.
Business Genie was built mobile-first. The app is designed for one-handed use, large tap targets, and quick workflows. Creating an invoice takes 30 seconds. Clocking in takes one tap. Everything a technician needs is two taps or fewer from the home screen.
Offline Mode Is Not Optional
Basements, rural properties, and commercial buildings with thick walls all have one thing in common: unreliable cell service. If your field service app stops working without internet, your technicians are stuck until they get a signal. Jobs get delayed, data gets lost, and the office loses visibility.
Business Genie works fully offline. Technicians can view their schedule, create invoices, take photos, collect signatures, and track time without any connection. Everything syncs automatically when the device reconnects. No data is ever lost.
Collect Payment On-Site, Every Time
The single biggest change contractors report after switching to Business Genie is getting paid faster. When a technician can create an invoice and collect payment on the phone before leaving the job site, there is no waiting for a check in the mail or chasing overdue invoices.
The app accepts credit cards, debit cards, and ACH transfers. Customers can also pay through a text or email link if they prefer. Most contractors see their average days-to-payment drop from weeks to same-day after adopting mobile invoicing.
Photo Documentation Protects Your Business
Disputes over work quality, pre-existing conditions, and warranty claims are common in the trades. Without documentation, it becomes your word against the customer's. Photos taken on a personal phone get lost, mixed in with personal pictures, or accidentally deleted.
Business Genie stores every photo taken through the app directly on the job record with timestamps and GPS coordinates. Before-and-after photos, existing damage documentation, and completed work verification are all organized, searchable, and permanent.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Is the mobile app available on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Business Genie has native apps for both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices. Both versions offer the same features and sync in real time with the web dashboard. The apps are optimized for phones but also work on tablets for office or van-mounted use.
How does offline mode work?
When you lose cell service, the app continues to function normally. You can view your schedule, create invoices, take photos, collect signatures, clock time, and add notes to jobs. All data is stored locally on the device and syncs automatically when you reconnect to cellular or Wi-Fi. You will never lose work due to a connectivity gap.
Can technicians see their full schedule on the app?
Yes. The app shows each technician their daily and weekly schedule with job details, customer info, addresses, notes from the office, and turn-by-turn navigation to each stop. They can update job status (en route, arrived, in progress, completed) which the office sees in real time.
Can I take photos and attach them to jobs?
Absolutely. Tap the camera icon on any job to take photos or videos. They attach directly to the job record and are visible to the office immediately. This is useful for documenting existing conditions before work begins, capturing completed work for customer records, and providing visual evidence for warranty claims.
Does the app drain battery quickly?
The app is designed for all-day use. GPS tracking uses an efficient low-power mode that typically uses less than 5% of battery over a full workday. If needed, technicians can reduce GPS update frequency in settings. Most technicians get through a full day without needing to charge specifically because of the app.
Is there a free trial for the mobile app?
Yes. The mobile app is included in the Business Genie free 3-month trial. Every user on your account gets full access to the iOS or Android app with all features. No credit card required to start.
