Build an appliance repair and maintenance app
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe your appliance repair and maintenance workflow — bookings, machine histories, van stock, invoices, and callback warranties — and it builds the app.

What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a field-service package you configure — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds the database, logic, screens, payments, and workflows. You own the result, run it on your own accounts, and can change it later by asking. It isn’t a franchise template.
On this page, that app is an appliance repair and maintenance system. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this one runs bookings, work orders, van stock, payments, and warranty callbacks for a repair company.
Why build your own repair app?
A booking widget can tell you Tuesday 10–12 is free. It does not know the dryer you fixed in March, which van has the inlet valve, or whether today’s call is inside a 90-day warranty window.
Kliv builds the dispatch board around how your repair company works: service areas, machine history, van stock, work orders, signatures, and card payment at the kitchen table. The system is shaped like your routes and policies, not a generic field-service suite.
What rides along on every job
Five records make the difference between a calendar and a repair operation.
Machine records
Serial number, appliance type, brand, and every visit it has had. If the same washer drum fails twice, the tech sees that before ringing the doorbell.
Work orders
The slot, customer symptom, nameplate photo, work done, price, signature, and payment status all live on the job record.
Van stock
Each van has its own inventory. A part used on a job comes off the van that supplied it, and reorder lists can be created from the counts.
Callback windows
For 90 days after a repair, a related return call links to the original job, prices at zero, and is tracked against the part and technician.
Service areas and slots
Booking offers the windows your vans can actually make, such as the north loop on Tuesdays and the coast on Fridays.
An example: Mateo’s appliance repair company
Here’s how one repair company might use an app built with Kliv. It’s only an example — you would describe your own service areas, parts, prices, and warranty rules.
The customer books without a phone call
A customer picks Thursday’s north-loop window and describes a refrigerator fault. The address falls inside the service map, so the slot is real and dispatch sees it immediately.
The technician reads the history first
On the driveway, the work order shows this kitchen’s third visit and includes last year’s nameplate photo. The technician knows the machine before opening the door.
The app finds the part on another van
Van one does not carry the inlet valve, but van two does. The follow-up visit books into Monday’s loop before anyone drives to a supplier.
The invoice is paid at the kitchen table
The diagnostic fee, valve, and labor are paid by card on the technician’s phone through the company’s own Stripe account. The receipt uses Mateo’s wording.
The callback prices itself at zero
Three weeks later the icemaker acts up again. The new job links to the old one inside the 90-day window, so there is no invoice and the owner can see the callback pattern.
Describe the repair app you want
Kliv builds from your description, so include service areas, appointment windows, machine history, parts stock, warranty rules, and how customers pay. Here are three examples:
Two-van repair outfit
Service areas, van stock, payments, and callbacks.
“Build a job management app for our two-van appliance repair company. Let customers book north, south, and coast service windows, tie every work order to the machine serial number and nameplate photo, track parts by van, take card payment through our own Stripe account, and enforce a 90-day callback warranty at zero price.”
Warranty-work specialist
Claims, authorization numbers, and payouts owed.
“Build an app for an appliance service company doing manufacturer warranty work. Track authorization numbers per claim, parts shipped versus parts used, technician notes, signed completion forms, and payouts owed by each manufacturer at month end.”
Commercial kitchen service
Contracts, quarterly visits, and priority dispatch.
“Build a service app for commercial kitchen equipment. Track maintenance contracts by site, schedule quarterly visits automatically, give contracted customers priority dispatch for breakdowns, and keep an equipment list for each kitchen.”
What Kliv brings to the van
Customers can serve themselves. Each household can sign in to see its own machines, visits, invoices, rebooking options, and callback status. Other households’ rows are not visible.
An agent can answer from the job history. A question such as “is my compressor still covered?” can be answered from that customer’s jobs and the warranty terms you wrote. The exchange stays on the job record.
Email comes from your domain. Booking confirmations, on-my-way notes, review requests, and tomorrow’s reminders can be scheduled from the same records the dispatch board uses.
A repair company lives locally. The local-services page, local business on Kliv, covers that wider pattern.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder. You describe your repair workflow, and it builds a working app for bookings, work orders, machine history, van stock, invoices, and callback warranties.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Your service areas, parts rules, warranty window, customer portal, and work order fields are built around your company.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can ask for new service areas, warranty rules, customer fields, technician views, or reports later.
Can customers book without calling?
Yes. Booking can run on your site and offer only the windows your service map and van capacity allow.
What does the technician see on site?
The work order on their phone: machine history, nameplate photo, symptom notes, van stock, parts used, photos, price, signature, and payment status.
How is warranty work kept from being billed?
The callback window is a rule. A job created against a repair inside 90 days links to it and prices at zero automatically.
Can we import old paper or spreadsheet history?
Yes. Existing machine and visit data can import as rows, then new jobs use the same records.
Can customers pay by card?
Yes. Payments can run through your own Stripe account, so receipts, customer records, and payouts belong to your company.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The booking page, customer portal, and admin app can run on your own domain.
Do I need a separate inventory tool?
No. Van stock and parts counts can live in the same app as bookings and work orders.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The app’s code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull rather than a rebuild.
