How to make an app for an AC repair service

In summer an AC repair business gets more calls than it can note down: breakdowns, services, installations and annual plan visits. An app keeps every complaint, which technician has it, the parts used and the bill, and tells you which annual plan customers are due for their next service.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The owner or office person, and the technicians. If technicians close jobs from their own phones, connect a Supabase database so the office sees each job's status. If only the office uses it, the data can stay on one phone.

The screens an AC repair service app needs

Complaints: Open jobs by date with the customer, locality, AC type and model, the problem and the technician assigned
New complaint: Customer phone, address with a Google Maps link, AC type, problem and preferred time; assign a technician
Job card: What the technician found, work done, parts used with prices, photos you attach and the final bill
Annual plans: Customers on a plan, number of ACs, visits done and the next service due
Parts stock: Capacitors, PCBs, copper pipe and gas cylinders in stock and what was used on which job
Payments: Cash and UPI received per job and the day's collection by technician

Features worth asking for

A list of annual plan customers due for a service this week, with a WhatsApp message ready
A job card that becomes a bill PDF with parts, labour and warranty days
Each AC recorded by type, tonnage and room, so the next visit starts with the history
Technician-wise jobs and collections for the day
Parts used per job, with stock going down as jobs are closed
A WhatsApp button to tell the customer the technician's name and time

Where the data lives

If only the office phone logs complaints, the data can stay on it. If technicians open and close jobs on their own phones, connect your own Supabase database from the chat; add Razorpay if you want customers to pay for annual plans online, with the money going to you.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Complaints, New complaint, Job card, Annual plans, Parts stock.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your AC repair service, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my AC repair business, Patel Cooling Services in Ahmedabad. Screens: complaints, new complaint, job card, annual plans, parts stock and payments. A complaint has the customer, address with Google Maps, AC type (split, window or cassette), tonnage, problem, preferred time and a technician. The job card records the fault, work done, parts with prices and labour, and makes a bill PDF with warranty days. Annual plan customers get 3 services a year; show who is due this week. Track parts stock. Record cash or UPI per job. Add a WhatsApp button. Blue and white colours.

Tips for an AC repair service app

Start with complaints, job cards and payments. Add parts stock once technicians fill job cards every time.
Give AppCub your list of common faults and parts with prices, so job cards are quick to fill at the customer's home.
Record each AC separately for a house or shop with several units; annual plans and repeat faults are per AC.
Ask for the bill PDF in the same layout as your printed bill book.
Before summer, test the app with a week of real complaints so the team is used to it when calls rise.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't track technicians live on a map, doesn't read AC error codes from the unit and doesn't send automatic SMS. Technicians open addresses in Google Maps and you send updates with the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app remind me when an annual plan service is due?

It shows a list of customers due for a service, and a button opens WhatsApp with the message ready. You or the office send it; the app doesn't send messages by itself.

Can technicians fill the job card at the customer's home?

Yes, if they have the app on their phones and it is connected to your Supabase database. Then the office sees the job closed straight away.

Can the app keep each customer's AC history?

Yes. Ask for ACs under each customer with type, tonnage and room, and every job is saved against that AC.

Can I track gas cylinders and parts?

Yes. Ask for a parts list with stock, and the app lowers the count when a part is added to a job card.

Can customers raise a complaint in the app themselves?

Yes, with a customer screen connected to an online database. Many repair businesses start with WhatsApp complaints entered by the office and add this later.

Can I see each technician's collection for the day?

Yes. Ask for payments recorded per job with the technician's name, and a daily total per technician for cash and UPI.
