HVAC. PLUMBING. ELECTRICAL.
You shouldn't have to spend thousands every month on software just to run your business.
So we built something different.
COUPLR.
Full-stack software for the trades.
No contract. No subscription.
Your business. Your terms.
One Platform. Three Trades.
Here’s the story of @couplrfsm.
About 8 years ago, my business partner (and best friend) and I started building websites for small businesses around Oklahoma, mostly HVAC contractors and roofers.
We never advertised. We just did good work, word spread, and eventually we had hundreds of referrals.
Over time, those same clients started asking us to build custom tools for their websites: embedded maintenance plan checkouts, customer billing portals, instant booking, automated form responses, etc.
One thing led to another.
What eventually became Couplr started as a stupid simple way for HVAC contractors to sell maintenance plans directly from their websites. The original name was actually “HVAC Money.”
Around the same time, we launched a second app called “Retail Ready,” which made it incredibly easy to build good-better-best proposals using a price book.
We kept hearing the same complaints from contractors over and over again. They hated their existing software, were paying a fortune for it, or had to duct-tape 8 different apps together with Zapier just to run their business.
It became obvious what we needed to build.
Couplr was born.
Today, our team includes one of the top HVAC equipment salesmen in the country, an owner/operator of an HVAC, plumbing, and electrical company who still runs calls every day, two CTO-level engineers with multiple exits under their belts, and an e-commerce operator doing eight figures a year.
We’re live and breathe the trades, software, technology, and AI.
And while Couplr might be a new name to most of you, this is far from a fly-by-night operation. The first commit in our codebase was 5.5 years ago!
We’ve spent years building, learning, listening to contractors, and figuring out what actually makes their lives easier.
And we’re just getting started.
Here’s to the next 5.5 years and beyond!
Had a contractor tell us today he was ready to switch to COUPLR because he loved the platform.
Then he asked what it would cost him per month.
We told him $0.
He asked again.
We told him $0 again.
Apparently we're going to have to work on making free sound more believable.
