Is Obra only for contractors?
No. Obra is a business operations system for people who perform services at homes, properties, and job sites.
For solo operators
Small business software that helps one person run the whole operation
When you sell the work, schedule it, perform it, and collect payment yourself, information cannot live across memory, paper, and scattered chats. Obra gives a one-person service business one place to capture what arrived and move it through the full job.

Built for the reality of working alone
A lead arrives while you are on a job and needs a follow-up.
A photo, receipt, or voice note needs to stay with the right property.
An estimate must become real work without entering everything again.
The client wants an update while you are driving to the next visit.
How it works
From first message to paid work
01
Capture the request
Save the message, photo, document, or voice note and connect it after review.
02
Build the work
Move from client and site to estimate, proposal, job, and scheduled visit.
03
Document what happened
Keep checklists, photos, materials, labor, and notes on the same job.
04
Close the loop
Create the invoice, record payment, and leave the client with a clear history.
Connected by design
Information enters once and keeps working.
- Keep every client, property, job, visit, document, cost, and payment connected.
- Give office staff, field workers, and clients a view designed for what each person needs.
- Capture screenshots, photos, PDFs, messages, and voice notes without losing the original.
- Work in English or Spanish and keep client-facing information clear.
Frequently asked questions
What to know before you start
Can I start alone and add a team later?
Yes. The Solo plan is for one team member, and the same connected structure supports additional office and field roles as the business grows.
Do my clients need paid seats?
No. Client hub users are separate from team seats.
