About
Profit Rhino is a comprehensive flat rate pricing and field sales platform designed specifically for residential trade contractors in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services. Powered by Callahan Roach—the industry authority behind the original flat rate price book—Profit Rhino equips technicians with prebuilt, fully customizable digital price books covering 90% of common repairs, eliminating handwritten invoices, math errors, and pricing conflicts with homeowners. The mobile sales tool walks technicians through structured option presentations, empowering homeowners to choose upgrades and add-ons that increase average ticket values by up to 80%. The web platform allows office managers to customize pricing, manage work orders and customers, and sync seamlessly with the field in real time. Key capabilities include quarterly price book updates, OEM parts search, success coaching, and free US-based lifetime support. Two product tiers are available: SmartPrice, a standalone digital price book and sales presentation app, and Integrate, which delivers up-to-date flat rate pricing directly into existing field service software. Profit Rhino is ideal for small to mid-sized residential service businesses looking to move away from time-and-materials billing, reduce technician pricing anxiety, build homeowner trust through upfront pricing transparency, and systematically grow revenue per job without adding headcount.
