Jayme Schroeder

Mobile Service Technician & Software Builder

"I got tired of software that promised the world but couldn't handle a simple invoice without crashing. So I built what I actually needed, and it turns out a lot of other service businesses needed it too."

I've spent my entire life in small business, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that time is everything. Every minute spent fighting with software is a minute not spent serving customers, growing your business, or with your friends and family. Shyft Pro wasn't built to sell you a product. It was built to give you back your time. That's the standard I hold myself to, because it's the same standard I need when I'm out in the field.

The Journey

From frustrated technician to building the solution I wished existed

The Beginning

Life as a Mobile Service Tech

Running a mobile service business meant long days on the road, hands covered in grease, and customers depending on me to get the job done.

The Frustration

Software That Fought Back

Every FSM tool I tried, from $300 to $3,000/month, had the same problems: clunky mobile apps, slow workflows, buggy features that never got fixed, and invoices that looked like they came from 1998.

The Breaking Point

Five Minutes Became Twenty

Simple tasks took forever. Creating an estimate shouldn't require 15 clicks. Finding customer history shouldn't feel like archaeology. I was spending more time wrestling software than doing actual work.

The Decision

"I'll Build It Myself"

No design documents from architects who've never held a wrench. No committee decisions. No "module packs" or nickel-and-diming. Just one vision: software that actually works for people in the field.

The Result

Shyft Pro Was Born

A modern, genuinely mobile-first platform built from real experience. Fast workflows, clean interface, professional estimates and invoices. Everything included, nothing held back.
