Flat Rate Plus Online FAQ

Q: What is Flat Rate Plus Online (FRPO)?

A: Flat Rate Plus Online® (or FRPO) is a SaaS flat rate pricing software program that allows users to create and maintain flat rate pricing books. You can learn more about FRPO by looking through this website. The FRPO software is hosted here.

Q: What does a company use Flat Rate Plus Online for?

A: You can quickly look up flat rate prices for common and not so common repairs related to HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, electrical service, and maintenance. Residential and light commercial work is covered. The price includes the cost of items, labor, and sales tax. Every aspect of the flat rate task can be modified by the user. You may also create equipment replacements and full system change-outs. Once the flat rate books are set up, your company can export the information and import it into their own software programs.

Here Are a Few Other Options

You may print flat rate price books or present flat rate prices on a mobile device or any computer. Users can present their customers with multiple flat rate options, using a familiar “shopping cart” principle. They may also create invoices, enter payments, process customer credit cards, email invoices, and synchronize with QuickBooks Online. Managers can print a report at the end of each day which includes invoice details for easy inventory replenishment. The report includes what parts were sold by which technician. It also includes your preferred vendor and their part number.

Q: What type of company was Flat Rate Plus Online designed for?

A: Any field services company who performs HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, drain cleaning, electrical service, and maintenance. They may do residential work, light commercial work, or both. We also built FRPO with a small to very small company in mind. Flat Rate Plus Online is especially well suited for those companies that use QuickBooks or just want a super simple flat rate software system with basic invoicing and the ability to accept credit card payments.

Q: What software programs do your interface with or work with?

A: We specialize in synchronizing with QuickBooks Online. FRPO was built with much the same invoice item types, customer fields, vendor information, and more. Invoices and customer payments created in Flat Rate Plus Online are completely recreated in QBO with zero differences. We believe that our Flat Rate Plus Online to QBO synch is the very best in the flat rate pricing software industry.

We don’t have any other synchronizations built for any other software program. However, we offer a universal file export that includes all of your flat rate price book information. The file format we use is universally accepted. You should be able to import the file into virtually any software program designed to accept inventory data imports.
