Locksmith software handles the work after a job is booked — dispatching the tech, tracking the job, storing customer and key history, building the invoice, and taking card payment on site. Most platforms that fit a locksmith run $30 to $300 a month depending on how many techs and features you need. What it does not do is fill the schedule in the first place.
We run our own home-service companies — a cleaning company in Tucson and an HVAC company in Sacramento — on this kind of stack, so we draw a hard line between the tools that organize jobs and the tools that produce them. This page covers both, honestly, including when a one-person shop does not need software at all yet.
Assign a lockout, rekey, or safe job to a tech, attach the address, and see the day's route. Useful the moment you run a second van and need to know who is where without a string of texts.
Build the invoice on the spot, take a card from a reader or phone, and email a receipt. This is the part most solo locksmiths actually want — getting paid before leaving the driveway.
A record of who you served, what you cut or programmed, and what they paid. For commercial accounts and master-key systems, that history is worth more than the scheduling features.
Revenue by tech, by service type, and by month. Enough to spot which jobs pay and which you should stop chasing. Most of the value here shows up only once you have months of data in it.
One user, scheduling, invoicing, and card payment. Plenty for a single locksmith who just wants clean records and to get paid on site. A generic field-service app or even an invoice app covers most of this.
Dispatch across several techs, GPS, and job-status tracking. This is where the software starts paying for itself, because coordinating two or three vans by text stops working fast.
Inventory, automated review requests, marketing tools, and integrations. Worth it for a shop running several trucks with commercial accounts. Overkill for one van and a phone.
Card processing is on top of all of this — usually around 2.6 to 3 percent per transaction, the same whatever platform you pick.
Be honest about your volume before you commit to a monthly fee. Skip the dedicated software for now if:
Move up when you add a second tech, take on recurring commercial accounts, or notice you are re-typing the same customer details every week. Until then, the subscription is a cost without a return.
Dispatch software organizes jobs you already have. It does nothing about the locked-out customer searching "locksmith near me" at 11pm who calls whoever answers first. That is where most lost revenue hides — in calls that go to voicemail and a website that doesn't load fast or take the number.
That is the part we handle. Our Start Getting Leads plan is $249/month — a hand-built site with 24/7 AI lead capture that answers "do you serve my area?" and "what does a rekey cost?" and takes the name and number even at 2am, month-to-month, and you own it. The AI receptionist catches the calls you miss on a job, and missed-call text-back texts anyone who rings out. See SEO for home services for how the calls start, and what local SEO costs for the honest math.
We don't post stock testimonials. On a 15-minute call we screen-share the real dashboards behind our own businesses — live leads, rankings, and the exact page that produced each one. See the proof →
It runs the back office after a job is booked — dispatch, scheduling, customer and key history, invoicing, and on-site payment. It manages the operation, not the calls that fill it.
Roughly $30–$300 a month depending on tech count and features, plus the usual 2.6–3 percent card fee. A solo shop lives at the bottom of that range or skips it entirely.
No. It organizes jobs you already have. New work comes from being found and answering fast, which is a website, Google Business Profile, and lead-capture job — a separate thing from your dispatch tool.
