The Only Garage Door Software You'll Ever Need
From emergency spring repairs to multi-week commercial installations—manage it all without switching between apps.
Dispatch the Right Technician
When a homeowner calls with a broken spring at 7 AM, your dispatcher needs to assign the closest tech with the right parts—in seconds, not minutes. Striven’s scheduling and dispatch tools make that possible.
- Create objectives at the company, department, team, and individual level
- Define key results with specific numeric targets and deadlines
- Link objectives to active projects, milestones, and tasks
- Assign ownership so every goal has a clear accountable party
- Set recurring review cycles to maintain momentum
Estimates That Win More Bids—With Margins You Can Trust
Door installations are high-ticket jobs where accurate estimating determines whether you make money or lose it. Striven’s estimating tools let your sales team build detailed, professional proposals.
- Itemized estimates with materials, labor, and overhead markup
- Good-better-best proposals for residential customers
- Real-time job costing: budget vs. actual on labor and materials
- Convert approved estimates to work orders with one click
Know What’s on the Truck, in the Shop, and on Order
A door service company lives and dies by parts availability. When your technician shows up to replace a torsion spring and doesn’t have the right wire size, you’ve wasted a trip and frustrated a customer.
- Multi-location inventory across trucks, warehouse, and shop floor
- Track parts consumption per job for accurate cost accounting
- Low-stock alerts and automated reorder points
- Barcode scanning for receiving and parts usage
Accounting That’s Connected to Every Job
Most garage door companies run their accounting in QuickBooks and everything else somewhere else—then spend hours reconciling the two. Striven eliminates that disconnect by building accounting directly into the same system your team uses to schedule, dispatch, and invoice.
The invoice is generated, the payment is processed, inventory is adjusted, and your books are updated automatically. No double entry. No end-of-month scramble.
- Full general ledger, AP/AR, bank reconciliation
- Invoices generated directly from completed work orders
- Revenue reporting by job type: installations, service, maintenance contracts
- Profitability analysis by technician, job type, and customer
Complete Customer Records—From First Call to Repeat Service
Striven’s CRM stores every detail—door type, opener model, spring specifications, warranty coverage, and complete service history—attached to each customer record. When a commercial property manager calls about a rolling steel door that won’t close, your dispatcher can pull the entire equipment history before the truck leaves the shop.
- Equipment records: door type, opener model, spring specs, warranty dates
- Complete service history visible to office staff and field technicians
- Customer portal for viewing past invoices and requesting service
- Automated follow-up for maintenance reminders and seasonal checkups
“Striven saves me so much time.”
“Not having to bounce between separate tools that don’t integrate well with each other is one of the most significant benefits for me. ”

Why Striven
Built for Door Companies That Have Outgrown Patchwork Software
Most garage door businesses start with QuickBooks and a scheduling app. Then they add a CRM. Then a fleet tracker. Then an estimating spreadsheet. Before long, nothing talks to anything and your team spends more time entering data than servicing doors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is garage door business software?
+
Garage door business software is a platform that helps door dealers, installers, and service companies manage their daily operations—including scheduling and dispatch, estimating, invoicing, inventory, customer management, and accounting. The best garage door software combines all of these functions in a single system, eliminating the need for separate apps that don’t share data. Striven is an all-in-one business management platform that connects every part of your garage door operation, from the first customer call to the final invoice.
-
How is Striven different from ServiceTitan, Jobber, or Housecall Pro for garage door companies?
+
ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Housecall Pro are field service management (FSM) tools—they focus on scheduling, dispatch, and invoicing but require you to run your accounting, inventory, and HR in separate systems. Striven is a full ERP that includes native accounting, inventory management, CRM, HR, project management, and field service capabilities in one platform. For growing door companies that need more than just a scheduling app, Striven eliminates the patchwork of disconnected tools and gives you a single source of truth for your entire business.
-
Can Striven handle both residential and commercial overhead door operations?
+
Yes. Striven supports residential service calls, commercial overhead door installations, and ongoing maintenance contracts in a single system. You can manage homeowner accounts alongside multi-location commercial properties, track different equipment types (sectional doors, rolling steel doors, high-speed doors), and run separate reporting for residential vs. commercial revenue.
-
How does Striven help with garage door parts and inventory management?
+
Striven tracks inventory across multiple locations—including service trucks, your warehouse, and your shop floor. You can monitor stock levels for springs, panels, openers, remotes, keypads, and hardware, set automated reorder points, and track parts consumption per job. When a technician uses parts on a service call, inventory is updated and the cost is automatically applied to the job—keeping your books accurate without manual data entry.
-
How does Striven compare to SuccessWare21 for a garage door business?
+
SuccessWare21’s strength is pre-built, trade-specific tooling — flat-rate pricing catalogs, LiftMaster integration, and parts inventory templates configured for the industry out of the box.
Striven takes a broader approach. Rather than specializing only in the field service and dispatch layer, Striven is a true all-in-one cloud ERP — combining native double-entry accounting, inventory and warehouse management, CRM, HR and payroll, project management, and field service dispatch in a single platform. For a door dealer currently running SuccessWare21 alongside QuickBooks, a separate CRM, and standalone HR tools, Striven replaces the entire stack. That consolidation is where Striven tends to win: one login, one data source, and accounting that’s built in rather than bolted on.
-
Does Striven support job costing for garage door installations?
+
Yes. Striven’s estimating and job costing tools let you build detailed estimates with itemized materials, labor, and overhead—then track actual costs as the job progresses. You can see real-time budget vs. actual comparisons on every installation, identify which job types are most profitable, and make data-driven decisions about pricing and resource allocation.
-
Can technicians use Striven in the field on mobile devices?
+
Yes. Striven is fully cloud-based and responsive on any device. Technicians can access job details, customer records, door specifications, and service history from their phone or tablet. They can update job status, log parts used, capture photos, collect signatures, and trigger invoicing—all without calling the office.
-
How much does Striven cost for a garage door company?
+
Striven’s pricing is per-user, per-month—with no hidden fees for modules or add-ons. Every plan includes accounting, CRM, inventory, scheduling, project management, and HR. This makes Striven significantly more affordable than enterprise ERPs like Acumatica-based solutions (Insite4Doors) and more comprehensive than per-technician FSM tools like ServiceTitan. Contact Striven for a customized quote based on your team size.
-
Is Striven suitable for a growing overhead door company with multiple locations?
+
Yes. Striven supports multi-location operations with centralized reporting, shared customer records, and location-specific inventory tracking. Whether you’re operating from one shop or expanding across multiple branches, Striven scales with you—without requiring expensive add-ons or migration to a different platform.
-
How does Striven compare to ECI Davisware for an overhead door business?
+
ECI Davisware offers complex commercial installation, parts distribution, and multi-branch workflows — and it carries the implementation timeline and price point to match.
Striven is built for the growing door dealer — typically the 20-to-75-employee range — that wants the same end-to-end business management capability without enterprise-level cost or a multi-year rollout. You get real accounting, inventory, CRM, project management, and field service in one cloud system, adaptable to door-industry workflows but accessible to teams that can’t justify a Davisware-scale deployment. For residential and light-commercial dealers who’ve outgrown QuickBooks plus a scheduling app but aren’t ready to step up to Davisware, Striven fits the middle tier that neither end of the market has served particularly well.
