OPS

What OPS is

OPS is job management software for service-based businesses and trades crews. Its iOS and web app brings project tracking, crew scheduling, photo documentation, client management, estimates, invoicing, and job-site navigation together. Crews can annotate job photos with arrows and notes, then keep those images organized with the related job. The app works without cell signal: it saves changes locally and syncs them when connectivity returns. Five permission roles range from Admin to Crew, with field workers limited to tasks assigned to them.

OPS supports estimate building, job scheduling, and crew management. Invoicing and payments are listed, while invoicing and accounting, pipeline, and inventory are marked in development on the platform page. The terms list Stripe, Bubble.io, Supabase, AWS, Firebase, Sign-In with Apple, and optional QuickBooks or Sage integrations. Stripe processes subscription and client invoice payments; OPS says it does not store card details. Customers own their uploaded photos, client data, project records, and notes. The service is intended for businesses and their employees, rather than individual consumers. OPS offers a 30-day trial for up to 10 users with full feature access. Paid plans start at C$90 a month for Starter, which allows up to 3 users. The home page says customers can speak directly with the founder for support.

Who it suits

OPS suits service businesses and trades crews that coordinate jobs, crews, estimates, and client records from iOS or the web. It may be especially useful for field teams that need to work through periods without cell signal and sync their changes later.

Limits

The free trial lasts 30 days and supports up to 10 users; the account is suspended at trial end unless a paid subscription is activated. Starter, the least expensive paid plan, costs C$90 a month and supports up to 3 users.

Getting started

1. Visit the OPS website.
2. Start the 30-day free trial, which supports up to 10 users and does not require payment information.
3. Use OPS on iOS or the web.
4. Activate a paid subscription before the trial ends to avoid account suspension.
5. Choose Starter, Team, or Business based on team size.

Verdict

Choose OPS if a service business needs job tracking, scheduling, photo records, and estimates across field and office work. Offline saving and role-based task access are useful for crews working at job sites. Look elsewhere if you need a free plan, more than three users on the Starter plan, or features marked in development.
