Carbon

Full operations platform for the trades.

Carbon is the all-in-one ERP built specifically for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, auto service, and elevator contractors. Scheduling, dispatch, CRM, invoicing, inventory, and reporting — everything your business needs to run without duct tape. Priced as a one-time purchase around $10K. No monthly fees. No per-seat licenses. No surprises.

The Problem

Enterprise ERP wasn't built for your business.

Most ERP vendors target Fortune 500 companies with dedicated IT teams, six-figure implementation budgets, and multi-year rollout timelines. Trades businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, elevator, auto service — are left choosing between overbuilt enterprise platforms and underpowered consumer apps that break the moment the business grows.

The result is the same everywhere: a whiteboard for scheduling, a spreadsheet for invoices, a text thread for dispatch, and one person in the office who holds the whole thing together in their head.

Carbon is purpose-built for this exact gap. It ships as a one-time purchase because the trades model is project-based, not subscription-based. White-label available for regional distributors and resellers.
