Stop paying $50-80k a year to text your techs.
Beacon texts assignments, collects updates, and pulls you in only when it's urgent.
Someone on the phone all day, chasing status.
Routine texts handled. You only see what matters.
The same shop, minus the chasing
Monthly base pay for a coordinator, before taxes and overhead
Core jobs Beacon takes over: assign, collect, escalate
For your techs to install. It works over plain text
How Beacon works
Three jobs. All over text. Nothing new for your techs.
Assignment texting
Beacon watches the job board and texts the right tech the moment a job appears.
Update collection
It follows up, gathers status and notes, and keeps your record current.
Urgent escalation
Emergencies, blockers, and unhappy customers go straight to you. Nothing else does.
Software still needs a person. Beacon is the person.

One flat price per shop
Not per tech. A fraction of a coordinator's salary.
