Driive
Driive is AI-powered scheduling software built for home service trades businesses where techs drive to the job. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, pest control, landscaping, and any field service operation with mobile crews.Most scheduling tools were built for booking meetings between people who can be anywhere. Driive was built for the opposite reality: techs are already somewhere, and the next slot needs to fit that.What makes Driive different:→ Drive-time-aware booking. AI matches new appointments to where techs already are, minimizing wasted windshield time and optimizing routes automatically.→ AI lead qualification. Before a slot is shown, Driive's AI pre-screens for service type, urgency, location, and scope. Tire-kickers get filtered out. Qualified leads book in 60 seconds.→ 24/7 self-booking. Customers book themselves at 9pm on Saturday with no human in the loop. Trades businesses lose 30-40% of leads to slow after-hours response. Driive eliminates the gap.→ Integrates with Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, GoHighLevel, and other field service tools. Slots in as the booking layer in front of your existing stack.Built by operators, not VCs. Cofounder ran a 25-person window treatment service business. Most accounts live in under an hour.Real outcome: Custom Blinds & Design cut scheduling labor 81% in their first quarter using Driive.
AI scheduling software for home service trades businesses
Driive is AI-powered scheduling software built for home service trades businesses where techs drive to the job. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, pest control, landscaping, garage doors, and any field service operation with mobile crews.
Most AI scheduling tools were built to handle conversational booking — answering phones, responding to messages, dropping appointments onto calendars. Driive does that, but goes further. The AI understands routing, drive time, lead quality, and tech availability simultaneously, so every booking is optimized for the operator, not just the calendar.
What Driive's AI actually does
→ AI drive-time-aware booking. When a customer requests an appointment, Driive's AI looks at where every tech will be that day and surfaces slots that minimize windshield time. A 10am Tuesday slot isn't shown if it creates a 45-minute drive from the prior job. The AI automatically optimizes routes as new bookings come in throughout the day.
→ AI lead qualification. Before any slot is shown, Driive's AI pre-screens leads with 3-5 dynamic questions covering service type, urgency, location, and scope. Tire-kickers get routed to a different path. Qualified leads see real availability and book in 60 seconds. The AI learns over time which lead patterns convert best for your specific business.
→ 24/7 AI self-booking. Customers book themselves at 9pm on Saturday with no human in the loop. The AI handles intake, qualification, slot recommendation, confirmation, and reminders end-to-end. Trades businesses typically lose 30-40% of leads to slow after-hours response. Driive's AI captures them automatically.
→ AI urgency detection. Emergency calls (flooding, no heat, smoke) get detected by the AI and routed to a different flow, usually a human on-call line. Routine bookings flow through self-service. The AI knows the difference.
→ AI route reasoning. Driive's AI explains why a slot is being recommended ("nearest tech is 4 miles away at 11:30am"), giving operators visibility into the logic, not just the output.
Where Driive fits in your stack
Driive integrates with the field service management tools operators already use — Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, GoHighLevel, QuickBooks, and others. It's the AI booking layer that sits in front of your existing stack, capturing and qualifying leads before they ever touch your FSM tool.
Why Driive's AI is different
Most "AI for trades" is conversational AI bolted onto a scheduling tool. Driive's AI is structural: it understands the routing problem first, the conversation second. The result is a booking system that doesn't just answer the phone — it makes the entire schedule smarter.
Built by operators, not VCs
Cofounder Quinn Small ran a 25-person window treatment service business before starting Driive. CRO Nick Small spent 8 years at CompanyCam (the photo documentation platform built out of a roofing company) leading marketing. Same operator-built DNA, applied to a different problem.
Real customer outcome

Driive FAQ: Learn How to Use It, Troubleshoot Issues, and More
The average home service sales team spends 10-15 minutes scheduling each appointment through phone calls, texts, and voicemails. For a team of 4 sales reps doing 6 appointments each per day, that adds up to over 2,500 hours per year spent on scheduling alone.
Phone tag delays booking, which means lost leads. Studies show that 78% of customers book with the first business that responds. Every minute spent playing phone tag is a potential lost job that goes to a competitor who made booking easier.
Home service businesses using automated scheduling software like Driive typically recover 70% of time previously wasted on manual scheduling. This freed capacity translates directly into more appointments, more closed deals, and additional revenue without hiring more staff.
Poor route planning adds 15-30 minutes of unnecessary drive time per job. Over a year, that means thousands of wasted miles in fuel costs and hours of unproductive windshield time. Drive-time-aware scheduling can reduce this waste by 40-60%.
Yes. By eliminating scheduling overhead and reducing no-shows through automated confirmation, sales reps routinely fit 1-2 more appointments per day within the same working hours -- which at their close rate means more deals closed.
Combined with in-app communication and self-service rescheduling, no-show rates drop significantly.
