I Built a Tool to Stop solo pros From Drowning in Paperwork

If you’re a solo contractor—an electrician, plumber, or handyman—your "office" is probably your truck. And if you’re like most pros I know, your dashboard is covered in scribbled notes, and your glove box is a graveyard for old Home Depot receipts.

I’ve seen hardworking guys lose thousands of dollars every year simply because a quote got lost or an invoice was never sent. That’s exactly why I built RigKit.

The Problem: Paperwork is a Silent Profit Killer

When you spend your Sunday night squinting at messy handwriting to figure out what to charge a client, you aren't just losing time—you're losing money.

  • Lost Professionalism: Sending a text message as an invoice doesn't command respect (or high rates).
  • The "Paper Chase": If you can’t find the receipt, you can’t write it off on your taxes.
  • Payment Delays: The longer it takes you to send an invoice, the longer the client takes to pay.

Why I Built RigKit Differently

I didn't want to build another complicated "enterprise" software that requires a desk and an accounting degree. I wanted to build a Rig—a reliable, heavy-duty tool you can use with work gloves on.

RigKit focuses on the essentials:

  1. Instant Estimates: Professional quotes sent from the job site in 60 seconds.
  2. One-Tap Invoicing: Turn a job into a bill the moment you pack up your tools.
  3. Simple Records: Keep your clients and payments in one place, not on a scrap of paper.

Less Time on the Phone, More Time on the Tools

The goal of RigKit isn't to make you a tech expert. It’s to get the "paperwork" out of the way so you can get back to the tools—or better yet, get back to your family.
