Start freeSound familiar
The work is the easy part. The admin isn’t.
Whether you’re cleaning offices, running chairs at a salon, or hauling out a garage, the job itself is what you’re good at. It’s everything around it: the same invoices every month, client who always pays late, e-transfers with no note, receipts in the truck door - that all eats into your evenings.
Most of it comes from the same thing: the quote lives in one app, the billing schedule in your head, the invoice somewhere else, and the payment in a bank feed with no note. Chronly is service business software that keeps all of it on one record.

One login, one client list, one place the money and the work agree. Chronly connects to the accounting software you already use rather than replacing it.
Step 1 & 2 · Quotes and approvals
Quote the job from wherever you’re standing
Walk the space, build a professional digital quote on your phone, and send it before you’re back in the truck. Set quantities, pricing, discounts, and taxes in one place.
Customers approve online with a single click, or pay a deposit to accept a quote, so the date is actually held. Quoting software for service businesses that tracks which quotes are sent, viewed, approved, or expired — so you always know where things stand.
- No paperwork, no trip back to the officePrice and send it from the parking lot.
- You know when it was openedSent, viewed, approved or expired — visible at a glance.
- Take a deposit on approvalStart the work with money already in the account.

Step 3 & 4 · Recurring billing
Automate recurring invoices for repeat clients
Most service businesses bill the same people over and over. Set the client up once: amount, schedule, terms and Chronly generates and sends the invoice automatically.
Stop retyping that same things, save yourself the time and effort. Recurring invoicing software that bills weekly, monthly, quarterly or on the day of the month you choose — and every invoice still carries your logo and your terms.
- Set the schedule onceWeekly, monthly, quarterly, or a fixed day each month.
- Change it without starting overA price rise or an added service updates the schedule from the next invoice on.
- See who is billed and who has paidOne list, in one place, instead of a mental note per client.

Not every job needs a quote
Sell sessions, packages, and prepaid blocks
Not every job needs a quote. Create a checkout link for a cut and colour, a block of ten lessons, or a one-off service, and drop it straight into a text or email. Your customer taps, pays, done.
Money before the appointment means fewer no-shows, and the payment lands on the customer’s record with the service attached — not as an e-transfer with no note.

Questions
Service business software questions, answered
- Can Chronly bill my repeat clients automatically?
Yes. Set the client up once with an amount, a schedule and terms, and Chronly generates and sends the invoice for you — weekly, every second week, monthly or on a fixed day of the month.
- What happens when an invoice goes late?
Chronly tracks overdue and unpaid invoices and sends reminders before a payment is due and again after it goes late — 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, whatever you set. You keep the relationship; Chronly does the nudging.
- Can I change a recurring price without starting over?
Yes. Update the amount, the line items or the schedule and the change applies from the next invoice on. The client’s history stays intact.
- Can I sell a package or a prepaid block without a quote?
Yes. Create a checkout link for a session, a block of ten, or a one-off service and drop it into a text or email. Your customer taps, pays, done — and the payment lands on their record.
- How do I keep track of receipts and mileage?
Forward supply, fuel and product receipts to your own Chronly attachment inbox from your phone and they land ready to be linked to an expense, and log mileage as you drive. No box of receipts at tax season.
- Is there really a free plan?
Yes — an always-free plan, not a trial. Sign up with no credit card, send quotes and invoices, and move to a paid plan only when the better processing rates and the extra features are worth it to you.
- Do I have to stop using my accounting software?
No. Chronly replaces the separate tools you use for quoting, billing and payments, and connects to accounting software like Sage and QuickBooks rather than replacing your books.
- Which service businesses is this for?
Anyone billing the same customers again and again — commercial cleaning, salons and barbers, personal trainers and instructors, junk removal and moving, property maintenance, consultants and bookkeepers.
Quote → approval → schedule → invoice → reminder → paid
