Built for U.S. automotive locksmiths — and no one else

The locksmith CRM built for automotive dispatch, tech splits, and 1099 settlements.

Dispatch jobs to your partner techs, run custom revenue splits, auto-deduct card-processing fees from the shared pool, and close out every 1099 contractor on a penny-perfect ledger. One tool replaces the spreadsheet, the group chat, and the end-of-week argument.

No credit card required · From a solo operator to a full dispatch fleet · Works on phone, tablet, and desktop

Built for the way American locksmiths actually run a shop.

JobBase isn't a generic field service CRM with a locksmith skin. Every feature was designed against real-world automotive locksmith workflows: dispatched techs, partner-lead networks, mixed cash & card payments, and 1099 contractor payouts.

Lead management — partners & dispatched techs

Track every job by its source — your own walk-ins, referrals from partner networks, or work dispatched to a 1099 tech. The lead profile carries the contractor relationship, the default revenue split, the card-handling rule, and the call-fee terms from first call to closed receipt.

Custom splits per tech, per job

Set a default revenue split on every contractor (50/50, 60/40, whatever you negotiated) and override it on the fly for a one-off job. Both sides see the exact same number on the same receipt. No more end-of-week math, no more spreadsheet reconciliation, no more arguments.

Margin-model card fee

When the customer pays by card, the processing fee comes out of the shared pool — never bolted onto the customer total. Every receipt reads Subtotal = Total Due. Behind the scenes JobBase splits the fee between you and the contractor in proportion to the labor split, with penny-perfect arithmetic enforced at the database level.

Settlement ledger — penny-perfect 1099 payouts

Every completed job lands in a per-contractor ledger. When it's time to settle up, you see exactly who owes whom and how much — broken down by labor share, card fee, and parts reimbursement. One click closes the period. The full audit trail stays with the contractor profile forever, ready for year-end 1099 filing.

One trade. Done properly.

Locksmith-only. On purpose.

Specialization is the feature. JobBase models locksmith money flows — splits, call fees, card-fee rules, parts, contractor ledgers — instead of watering itself down to fit every trade.

Built for

  • U.S. automotive locksmith shops — from a solo owner-operator to a full dispatch fleet
  • Shops running dispatched 1099 techs, partner-lead networks, and walk-in work side by side
  • Businesses that live on revenue splits, call fees, card-fee rules, and contractor settlements
  • Locksmiths who want VIN-aware car data, parts on the receipt, and thermal printing in the field

Not for

  • HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, or any other field-service trade — generic FSM tools serve those better
  • W-2 payroll and HR — JobBase models 1099 contractor money, not employee payroll
  • Generic invoicing or bookkeeping — JobBase models locksmith money flows, not general accounting

If you're not a locksmith, JobBase is the wrong tool — deliberately. If you are, everything inside was built for exactly how you work.

Replaces the spreadsheet, the group chat, and the end-of-week argument.

Dispatch
Assign a job to a dispatched tech in one tap. The tech sees the address, scope, and their pre-agreed split on their phone.
Receipts
Mobile-first thermal printing (Phomemo) and PDF receipts for email. Same receipt, same numbers, same shop branding.
Settlements
Period-agnostic ledger. Close out a contractor at end of week, end of month, or whenever you settle — the math doesn't care.

Stop running your shop on spreadsheets.

JobBase keeps the dispatch, the splits, the card fees, and the 1099 settlements in one place — designed for U.S. automotive locksmith businesses of any size, from owner-operators to full dispatch shops.
