A Housecall Pro alternative built around one simple workflow.
Housecall Pro is a popular operating platform for home service companies. Orbit Command focuses on the same core loop — capture the request, quote it, schedule it, invoice it, get paid, get reviewed — with less surface area to learn and a customer experience that never requires an app or login for homeowners.

Common questions
Does Orbit Command handle missed calls?+
Yes. With call capture enabled, a missed call automatically texts the caller back and creates a lead — and a voicemail is transcribed onto the lead so you can call back with context.
Can field techs take payment on site?+
Yes. Techs can collect card payments in person through Stripe, and the office can record cash or check payments against the invoice.
Does it work for commercial accounts?+
Yes — commercial accounts with multiple locations, portal users with roles, approvals, and account-level invoicing are available in beta.
