Appointments

For service businesses that do not fit a preset
Build Kipas around your service day.
Kipas Service Studio is the configurable Kipas workspace for service businesses whose day is built around appointments, a counter queue, both, or POS-first work. Tell us how work arrives, how your team handles it, and which customer and team tools you need. Kipas keeps customers, sales, receipts, staff, and reporting connected.

For customer property, job stages, estimates, deposits, collection, and warranty.

Case, submission, document, deadline, and file-based work is supported in Kipas Professional Services through its case-account workflow.
