Handyman software for South Africa
A handyman business is a long list of small jobs that all look different. Patch a hole, hang a TV, fix a sticking door, caulk a tub, all in one day. DispatchMind keeps that list straight, lets you quote small jobs fast, and makes sure every little repair gets billed instead of forgotten.

A typical handyman job
- A homeowner sends a request through your website form asking for drywall repair and a TV mounted, and it becomes a job.
- You set the appointment on the calendar and assign the tech who does mounting.
- On site he snaps photos of the hole and the wall, and builds an estimate with both items from the price book.
- The customer approves on the spot, the tech does the work, and adds after photos.
- The estimate turns into the invoice and the card is charged through your own Stripe account.
