General Contractors
Knockbase helps general contractors streamline canvassing, collect high-quality job leads, and schedule consultations - right from the curbside.
Why Door-to-Door Still Works for Contractors?
When it comes to home improvement, nothing beats a direct, in-person conversation. But without the right system in place, door-to-door sales become disorganized:
- Reps overlap on routes or miss high-value streets
- Job details get lost in notebooks or half-filled forms
- Appointments don’t sync, and leads fall through the cracks
- Managers can’t track what’s really happening on the ground
Knockbase fixes this. From mapping neighborhoods to logging job types and scheduling site visits, everything your team needs is in one intuitive app.
