Owners: setting up
Setup takes about ten minutes, and nothing texts your techs until you say so.
1. Create your company
Go to meetholler.com/owners and enter your work email, then your company name and first name, then your mobile number. Holler texts you a 6-digit code good for 10 minutes: your phone may offer to fill it in on its own, or you can type it in. Got the number wrong? Tap Edit on the code screen to fix it. Nothing shows up after 30 seconds? Tap to text it again. That number is your login from then on: no passwords. Stop partway and your answers are saved: one email from Ryan brings you back to the step you left.
Right after the code, two optional taps: what your crew does and how many techs you run. Skip them if you like. Connecting your software fills in the tech count on its own.
Then tap the software that runs your jobs: Housecall Pro, Workiz, ServiceTitan, or Jobber, or Something else. Nothing to connect yet: your dashboard remembers the pick and its Connect step opens straight to that software. Every signup screen fits your phone, with Continue always in reach at the bottom.
2. Pick your plan
No card at signup, on any plan. Pick Free, Team, or Pro and keep setting up: the choice is saved and setup stays free in sandbox. On Team or Pro, Stripe asks for a card only when you hit Go live, and your first 7 days live are free. Billing then starts at the 3-tech minimum, and from there it follows your actual crew: seats added past the minimum prorate the day a tech joins, and seats for techs who leave come off the next cycle. Not sure yet? Tap Not now and decide later from the dashboard. See Billing and plans.
3. Try it, then text your first tech
The dashboard opens with a guided setup. First, Holler texts you a sample morning brief with demo numbers, so you feel what your techs will get. Next is one field: your first tech’s mobile number. Holler texts them a short intro, they reply YES, and they’re in. It works before you connect anything, and even in sandbox.
4. Connect your system
Next, head to Integrations and connect the platform you run on. Your schedule, techs, and jobs start syncing within minutes, and your techs’ texts fill in with their real day. On software Holler doesn’t connect to yet? Skip it: your techs can still join and text Holler. See Integrations.
5. Set your bonus rules
The Bonuses tab holds your standing rules: what a membership sale pays, what a five-star review pays, revenue percentages, and your weekly goal. See Bonus rules.
6. Invite your crew, review in sandbox, go live
Invites send the moment you click them, even in sandbox: each tech gets a personal intro and joins with a YES. Meanwhile the Jobs tab shows every automated text Holler would send. When the plan reads right, hit Go live and the briefs start.
Stuck? Just text Holler.
The same number your techs text answers you too. Ask it what Holler does, where your setup stands, or what to do next, in plain words, any language. It knows your account and it answers owners the way it answers techs: straight.
Setup emails
For your first two weeks, Holler emails you the one next step for where your setup stands: connecting your system, inviting your first tech, going live. They come from Ryan, and a reply reaches a person. Every email has a link to stop them; Holler’s texts are not affected.
Ryan may also text you from Holler’s number at a moment setup stalls, like starting to connect your software without finishing. At most one a day, during business hours in your timezone. Reply and it reaches Ryan, not an automated answer. Reply STOP to end all Holler texts.
