What's new in PurVago

What shipped, newest first. Every item is live for every company on the plan that includes it.

Notes on the home, each with its own heading

Instead of one long paragraph, a home can carry several notes with their own headings: Doors and alarm, Where things are, Everyday, How to clean the piano. The crew sees each as its own box on every visit, so the thing they need is a glance away. Add them on the customer's property card.

A second number on a customer

A customer can have a second number that gets every text the first one does, reminders and review requests included, and a reply from either number lands on the customer.

Employee badges

Add a headshot and a job title to anyone on your team and print a badge from their card: vertical or horizontal, front and back, at the standard card size any badge printer takes. The QR code on the front opens a page that says this person works for you today, with a call-the-office button and your review link. Mark someone inactive or retire a lost card and the code stops working the same minute. Pick your brand color once under Settings, Company.

Watch the demo

Fourteen short clips of the real app, from the first phone call to payroll day, now live at purvago.com/demo. Two of them use a real walkthrough of a real house.

A price on every visit, and how each customer pays

Every visit now carries its own price, set on the Schedule, copied from the estimate or the recurring plan, and used when you invoice. Each customer card can say how they usually pay (Venmo, Zelle, check, card and the rest) and whether to invoice them at all. Put your other ways to pay under Settings once and they print on every invoice. Estimates and invoices show "Viewed" with the date once the customer opens them.

Owners on a visit get their own Start and Finish

When an owner or office person is on a visit, the Jobs page gives them the same per-person Start and Finish the crew app has, with fifteen minutes to undo a slip. PTO can now count in hours instead of days, with the hours per day set by you. Every visit on the Schedule shows the people on it as initials in their color.

Notes for whoever comes next

A cleaner can leave a note on a visit for the next visit, the next few, or every visit. It lands on the home, the next crew sees it on their card, and the office sees it on the customer with an x to take it down.

Plans start a full cadence after the deep clean

When a customer approves a one-time clean and a recurring plan on the same proposal, they pick a real day for the clean and the plan's first visit is offered a week, two weeks or a month after it, never the next morning.

Team chat and announcements

Team messages is now a chat for the whole team or one person, with an unread badge and push notifications, and an Announcements tab for the office where each person marks Got it. Customers never see it.

Documents that ask questions

A document sent for signature can ask the signer to fill things in: short answers, dates, choices, checkboxes and more. The answers land on the signed PDF, on the Signatures page and on the customer's card.

Texting with customers, in your words

Send a text from Messages, get replies forwarded to an office phone, and edit the wording of every customer text with presets and fill-in chips. Marketing texts go out between 8 AM and 8 PM local time, to customers who opted in.

A timesheet page for each person, and a new Settings

Every person has a page with their pay period at a glance and every start and finish by day, with whether the phone was really on site. Settings is now a hub of eight areas, each with a summary, so the thing you need is one door away.

Each person starts and finishes their own visit

On a crew of two or three, each person has their own Start and Finish, with fifteen minutes to undo a tap. The day clock has undo too, and a person sees their own visits whichever crew they are on.

Hire onboarding by link

Send a new hire an emailed link and they onboard themselves: details, emergency contact, your documents to read or sign, certificate uploads, and a login request at the end. You see progress on the Team page and can resend or cancel the link.

Company Docs with e-signatures

Build your handbook, independent contractor agreement, and safety, chemicals, vehicle and phone policies from plain-language starting points, edit them, and publish. Team members read or sign online, and a signed PDF goes to both sides.

AI on your terms

Owners can turn AI features off for the whole company. When on, every person confirms what is sent and who reviews it before their first AI step, and the record of who agreed to what is kept in your audit log. The AI Features Disclosure says exactly what goes where.

Inventory by location

Stock now lives per location, the office and each crew unit, with transfers between them, per-location stocktakes and reorder alerts.

Alerts open the right screen

Tapping an alert now lands on the exact visit, request or estimate it is about, and the schedule stays in the view you were using.
