Online booking for a handyman call-out
The client books the call-out and the hours it will take, says what has broken and attaches a photo before you set off. The day lines up as a route with the travel counted in, and addresses, door codes and past jobs stay in Bookly CRM.
What a handyman gets
A request you can read. A day that holds. The client who rings again.
Bookly takes on the booking, the description of the problem with its photo and the history of every address, so you leave with the right tool and reach the next door on time.
The call-out and the hour
Sell a call-out and an hour, not an endless list of odd jobs
Hang a shelf, change a lock, fix a dripping tap, assemble a wardrobe: no honest price list covers that. The page carries the units you actually sell: the call-out, an hour of work, half a day. The form beside them asks what has broken and lets the client attach a photo, so the exact figure is the one you give on the spot, once you have seen the job.

The day as a route
Build a day where one overrun does not push the rest
Four or five addresses in a day, and a job that runs an hour long moves everyone after it. Each call-out takes its own length in the schedule, a travel break sits between addresses, and when the day does slip, the booking is moved and the client hears the new time without a call from you.

The same client again
Go back to the people who already let you into the house
Most of the work comes from those you have already fixed something for: three months on, the same client rings about a tap when last time it was a shelf. The card shows the address, the floor, the code and what was done there, so the call does not start with “remind me where you live”.

A history of the jobs at every address

Notes: the door code, the floor, what was replaced

Everything a handyman runs on
Everything you need for handymen
Booking, the day’s route, client addresses and the history of the work in one service. You hold a tool rather than a phone with a dozen threads about when and where to come.
The booking page
The client picks the call-out, the number of hours and a free slot, instead of waiting for you to put the drill down and ring back.
The day’s addresses
Every call-out in one calendar, with travel breaks between them. Where there is more than one of you, it shows who is where today and who still has a window.
The problem, with a photo
The client writes what has broken and attaches a photo. More often than not, that photo is what decides whether the right tool is in the van.
The address card
Contacts, the address, the floor, the code, the history of the work and your own notes. The next call from the same client does not start from scratch.
Moving jobs without ringing round
A job runs over, the rest of the day shifts in the calendar, and the clients hear the new time themselves.
Money and regulars
See how many bookings and how much income the week brought, which jobs bring more in and how much a regular client leaves over time.
Quick start
How to open online booking for call-outs
Setting it up takes an evening: the page, the units you sell and the hours you are out. Then the link goes into your ads, your messengers and onto the card you leave behind.
-
Build your page
Add your name, the areas you cover, photos of finished jobs and contacts. No separate website to build.
-
Describe what you sell
Not a list of odd jobs but units: the call-out, an hour of work, half a day. Each with its own length and price.
-
Set your hours and the travel
Open the hours you are out on jobs and put a travel break between addresses. The free windows are worked out for you.
-
Put the link everywhere
In your ads, on your Google listing, in your messengers and on the card you leave behind. New call-outs land in your schedule at once.
The result in numbers
An overrun at one address no longer moves the whole day
The call-out and every paid hour take their own length in the schedule, and a travel gap sits between addresses. A client is only offered a time you can genuinely reach, so the evening is not spent catching up by phone.

Awaiting an answer
That is the point: the page carries units rather than odd jobs, namely the call-out, an hour of work and half a day. The client books the hours they need, and you give the exact figure on the spot, once you have seen the job.
Yes. Your form sits on the page next to booking: what has broken, the address, the floor, the door code and a photo. The answers collect in the form itself and you look at them before you set off, so the tools are packed for that particular job.
No, there are no maps and no route optimisation in Bookly. What it holds is the order of the day’s addresses and the travel break between them, so a client is never offered a time you cannot physically reach.
The booking is moved to another time in the calendar and the client is told about the change. The free windows for the rest of the day are worked out again by themselves.
Yes. Each has their own schedule and their own list of work, and the shared calendar shows who is where today. A tool there is only one of, such as the breaker or the van, is set up as a member of staff of its own, so two people cannot book it for the same hour.
Bookly takes no payments online. You mark the call-out fee on the booking itself once the money is in hand, and money sent in advance goes into Finance as a Deposit operation with the client’s name. Both show in Operations and in the client card. Bookly is not an accounting system and issues no documents.
Yes. Create an account and set booking up with no card and no commitment.

Online booking for handymen
Bookly is a Ukrainian online booking and CRM service for handymen: clients book a call-out and the hours it needs, say what has broken and attach a photo before you set off. The day lines up as a route with the travel counted in, and addresses, door codes and past jobs stay in the client card.
A handyman does not sell a service from a list, he sells a call-out and hours. “I need a shelf put up” says almost nothing over the phone: concrete or plasterboard, one shelf or five, whether there is even a bit for that wall. A price list of exact jobs therefore comes out as a lie, and while you are asking the questions, the client is already dialling the next number in the ads.
A booking page takes that conversation off you. It carries the units you actually sell: the call-out, an hour of work, half a day, each with its own length and price. A form on the page asks what has broken, at which address and on which floor, and lets the client attach a photo. That photo is usually what decides whether the right tool is in the van, and whether you will be driving back a second time.
The day is a route of four or five addresses, and a job that runs an hour long moves everyone after it. Every call-out takes its own length in the schedule and a travel break sits between addresses, so nobody is offered a time you cannot reach. When the day slips anyway, the bookings are moved in the calendar and the clients are told about the change without a round of phone calls. A reminder the day before leaves fewer locked doors.
Most of the work comes back from the same people: three months after you assembled a wardrobe, that client rings about a tap. The card keeps the address, the floor, the door code, the history of the work and your own notes, while simple stock tracking shows how many plugs, fixings and washers are left in the van. And the page itself works as one link for the ads, the messengers and the card you leave on the kitchen table.
