Nobody's phone is the source of truth.
Every text with a client. Every schedule with a trade. Every 'are we on for tomorrow' answer. Threaded to the job it's about, from your business number, on the record and out of your personal phone.
The client asks about the granite color she picked. The trade asks whether framing is Tuesday or Wednesday. The homeowner texts on Saturday. All of it goes to your cell. Some of it goes to your PM's cell. Some of it, on a bigger job, goes to your husband's cell because he was on-site running the job the day she called.
None of that is a record. It's a record only for whoever's holding the phone that day, and it stops being a record the second that person goes on vacation, changes carriers, or drops the phone at a job site. The client's memory is the tiebreaker, and the client remembers the version that costs you money.
None of them are catastrophes. Each of them is a memory war you don't have to have.
The client said the granite would be Absolute Black. Travis remembered — mostly. When she questioned the invoice, the answer was somewhere in his messages, and he was on-site running the job.
He'd read your text. You'd sent it. Somewhere between "Tuesday" and "Wednesday" the message got confused, and he called from the driveway. His phone said one thing, your memory said another, and the truth was in a text you'd both read at different moments.
You meant to answer from the business line. It was 8 p.m. You grabbed your phone and typed back. Now she has a number that isn't yours — one that rings your kid's baseball games and your mom's birthday reminders.
"Yeah, add the pot filler." You wrote it down that night. You forgot. She remembers agreeing to it and doesn't remember what you charged. The signed record of that conversation is worth more than either of you having a good memory for it.
Every text with a client. Every "when's the tile guy coming" from the homeowner. Every "are we on for tomorrow" from a trade partner. All of it sat in his messages. If somebody asked what the client agreed to about the granite color, we opened Travis's phone. If a trade partner said the schedule was different from what he'd been told, we scrolled up to find the text.
That worked until it didn't. A trade partner showed up a day early once and called from the driveway to ask where we were. We got lucky — he hadn't booked the next day yet, or our whole schedule would have moved a week. It wasn't his fault. The "are we on for tomorrow" text was somewhere, we'd read it and answered it, and forgotten which day we'd said. His phone said one thing. Our memory said another. The truth was in Travis's messages, and Travis was on-site running the job.
The communication side of MY LAURA is the answer to that. Every message with a client sits on the project. Every appointment with a trade goes out from the same system that made the schedule. Nobody's phone is the source of truth, because there's a source of truth.
Every trade gets their own portal and calendar feed. Unlimited seats. Included.
Go to Trade Partner PortalHer portal, your branding. Estimates read, change orders signed, invoices paid — from her phone.
Go to Client PortalEvery selection lands on one list with dates and vendors, pulled from the estimate you already wrote.
Go to Materials ListWe started on Joist, which did estimates and invoices and nothing else. When we needed scheduling we moved to Jobber. Jobber stopped fitting, so we went to Houzz Pro — where the change orders were complicated, the reports came out wrong, and the schedule wouldn't sync to our iPhone calendars. So I added another application on top of it.
For three months I bandaided software together. Somewhere in there, other contractors started telling us they had exactly the same problem.
Communication is where the tools show what they prioritized. Every platform we tried had client comms; most had some version of an interface for subs. None of them made either view first-class the way this one does — his own calendar feed, her own materials list, pulled from the estimate you already wrote. Write it once, and both portals downstream reflect it. Competitors whose estimating and scheduling are separate modules structurally can't do that.
Every piece above is in every MY LAURA account on day one. Not a Pro tier. Not an add-on. Not metered by project count.
Unlimited projects. Unlimited team. Unlimited trade partners. One price.
