Contractors charge for the first service call but lack tools for pre-diagnosis, wasting time and margin on unnecessary trips.

No easy way to remotely diagnose equipment before dispatching a technician, leading to costly first trips that could be avoided.

App Concept

PreTrip Diagnose

PreTrip Diagnose uses digital twin models of common HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems to allow contractors to remotely assess issues before sending a technician. Customers share real-time data or video, and the app simulates the system to recommend likely fixes or confirm a trip is needed, saving time and fuel.

Key Features

Digital twin library for common field service equipment (furnaces, AC units, water heaters, etc.)
Customer-facing input portal for symptoms, photos, and sensor data
AI-driven diagnosis that suggests probable causes and parts needed
Pre-trip report that reduces first-visit no-go rates

Target Users: Small to mid-size HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors who bill for service calls and want to minimize wasted dispatch trips.

Revenue Model: $99/mo per technician seat, with a free tier for up to 10 customer submissions per month
