Solo service business owners cobble together SMS, Google Calendar, and notes to manage scheduling, follow-ups, and invoicing because full field-service apps are too complex or expensive.

Workarounds Described

• Customer texts/calls, then manually enters address into Google Calendar
• Uses notes app or iPhone reminders to remember follow-ups
• Uses spreadsheet to track jobs and invoices

Implied Software Gaps

• Automatic extraction of job details from SMS into calendar
• Integrated reminder system that doesn't rely on separate reminders app
• Invoicing directly from job records without spreadsheet
