What is Tofu?

Tofu is field service management software designed for solo contractors and small teams who need to manage jobs from start to finish. It combines job scheduling, estimates, invoicing, payments, and customer relationship management in one place. Rather than juggling multiple tools or spreadsheets, users can track work, bill clients, and manage customer information from a single dashboard. The software is built to be straightforward enough for solo operators to use without extensive training, whilst offering enough functionality to handle growing teams as contractors scale up.
