CRM was built for sales teams. Not operators.
The industry spent decades optimizing for one customer: the desk-bound rep managing a pipeline. Salesforce, HubSpot, and every tool built in their image assumes the relationship happens over email and ends at a closed deal.
For the millions of businesses where the work is physical, that assumption is wrong — and the software fails them every single day.
Kanvo CRM — field service management built differently.
A CRM and operations platform for trades businesses. The complete job lifecycle without the enterprise bloat — first lead to final invoice, with crew timeclock and job costs in between.
One record, one timeline, no re-entry.
Lead becomes estimate becomes scheduled job becomes invoice. Nothing gets typed twice, and nothing gets lost between four tools that don't talk to each other.
Lead & Client CRM
Lead capture from any channel, tied to full client records — from first contact through every job.
Scheduling & Dispatch
Crew scheduling that doesn't require a dedicated dispatcher to operate it.
Crew Timeclock
Clock-in tied to specific jobs. Real labor costs, not guesswork.
Estimates & Invoices
Quote a job and bill it from the same record.
All six capabilities
Every one of them exists because an operator hit the wall without it.
Built from inside the problem.
Kanvo was founded by Colby Kordas — an IT professional turned trades operator who spent years running crews, equipment, and clients across Connecticut on software that was never designed for any of it.
"I didn't build Kanvo to start a software company. I built it because I needed it to exist."
We're not building another CRM. We're rethinking what CRM means.
Kanvo Technologies exists to challenge the assumptions baked into an entire category. We build software for businesses where the work is physical, the margin for error is real, and the team in the field is the product. That starts with the trades — and it doesn't stop there.
If something's missing or broken, tell us directly.
No ticket numbers. No auto-replies. If a feature doesn't exist or doesn't work the way your business needs it to, we want to hear about it — and a real person reads every submission.
