Built for the shops that do all three.

Project work, break/fix tickets, and product sales in one business — with parts, labor and margin that have to reconcile at the end of the month. Most PSAs handle one of those well. Plinx Pro is built for firms doing all of them at once.

The shape of the problem

These are the specific failures the single-record model is built to remove.

Re-keyed between tools

  1. Quote QUO-0412

    The job’s numbers start here.

  2. Project PRJ-0118

    Re-keying between systems

    A quote becomes a project, ticket or sales order without retyping, and the invoice is generated from those same records.

  3. Time 159.70 hrs

    Rates nobody can reconstruct

    A three-axis rate structure with per-user assignments and rate history, so a back-dated entry bills at the rate that was actually in force.

  4. Parts 12 serials

    Parts margin leaking

    Without real cost layers, the number you bill against is a guess. FIFO, LIFO, weighted-average and specific-ID costing make it the actual figure.

  5. Invoice INV-0207

    Unbilled work aging out

    Completed hours and issued parts that nobody invoiced, discovered a quarter later. Needs to be Billed and Ready to Bill put that queue in front of someone.

  6. Closeout 38.6%

    Margin discovered at close-out

    Estimated, Actuals and Billed to date sit on the project and move as work lands, so an underwater job announces itself in week three.

  7. Years later

    History trapped in a departing head

    Email threads link to companies, projects and tickets. Nothing is ever hard-deleted, and a full audit log survives turnover.

Built for automation, controls and IT services firms

If two of these describe your week, the seams between your tools are already costing you money.

  • Automation integrators

    Multi-phase panel builds and field installs, serialized components issued from stock, change orders mid-project, and a commissioning phase that always runs long. Cost layers and landed cost are tracked as inventory, not as text on an invoice.

    PRJ-0118 Line 4 retrofit · panel build and install

    1. Phase 1 · Panel build 81.20 of 78.00 hrs used
    2. Phase 2 · Field install 78.50 of 118.00 hrs used
    3. Cost layers VFD drive × 3 at $1,270.00, × 1 at $1,326.00 · I/O module × 8 at $313.50
    4. Inventory issued 12 serials, FIFO · $7,644.00
  • Controls & systems integrators

    Long project cycles with progress billing against fixed fee, not-to-exceed caps that have to be checked before an invoice goes out, and client assets created from the serial numbers you installed.

    PRJ-0118 Fixed fee $48,200.00 · progress billing

    1. Percent complete 159.70 ÷ 241.00 hrs = 66.27%
    2. INV-0207 $31,940.00 billed to date
    3. Client Assets 12 serials on Cimarron Controls’ record
  • IT services & MSP-style firms

    A ticket queue running alongside project work, hardware resale through sales orders and delivery tickets, and recurring break/fix that still needs to report cost the same way a project does.

    TKT-2280 Drive fault · T&M with a $1,500.00 NTE cap

    1. Time & parts 5.00 hrs · 1 serialized part
    2. Invoice $1,412.00, checked under the NTE cap

    SO-0338 Spare drives · Sales order
