Fragmented dispatch
Jobs come in through calls, Google Ads, WhatsApp, and forms, but dispatch still happens across notes, chats, and memory.
Weak margin visibility
It is hard to see what a completed job really made after ads, engineer payout, card fees, and follow-up time.
No clean handoff
Owners and dispatchers chase engineers for updates, then chase customers again for payment, reviews, and repeat work.
Workflow built from real operations
A locksmith-specific system from lead intake to review request
Core M8 is strongest when the business is already generating jobs and admin friction is starting to slow the owner down. The value is operational clarity, not more software clutter.
Capture and qualify the lead
Log source, postcode, issue type, and quote notes without losing context between phone calls and messages.
Assign the right engineer
Dispatch by area, urgency, or availability and keep the job status visible without constant chasing.
Track payout and outcome
Record engineer payout, payment status, and job completion so the owner sees what the job actually produced.
Follow up automatically
Send review requests, build customer history, and turn completed work into marketing without more admin.
Lead-to-job control
Capture the lead, log the quote, assign the engineer, and keep the whole job history in one operational view.
Subcontractor payout tracking
See engineer fees and payouts against each job so you are not guessing where the profit went.
Customer follow-up built in
Turn finished jobs into review requests, repeat work, and social proof without exporting data into another tool.
Built for dispatch reality
This is designed around locksmith workflows with 2+ engineers, not generic field-service software trying to fit every trade.
Why this page exists
Generic trade software is too broad for dispatch-heavy locksmith operations
Core M8 is being positioned first around the locksmith workflow because that is where the product has real operator insight, better proof, and a sharper story. That gives you a stronger first offer than trying to sell to every trade at once.
Is Core M8 only for locksmiths?
The first focused version is for locksmith dispatch operations because that is the workflow it is being built from. The long-term product can expand later, but the initial offer is narrow on purpose.
What size business is it best for?
The clearest fit is owner-led locksmith businesses with dispatch and at least two engineers or subcontractors where admin friction is already slowing growth.
Why not use a generic CRM?
Generic CRMs usually handle contacts and pipelines, but they do not reflect the operational reality of emergency jobs, engineer allocation, payout tracking, review follow-up, and dispatch visibility in one place.
