The season turns in one night.

Drains don’t read a calendar; the baseline runs all year. Plumbing’s seasons land as surges: the first hard freeze, the spring thaw, the weekend after Thanksgiving. One cold night books three weeks by morning. The record catches the wave without dropping what’s already on the board.

Same wave, other months: spring thaw Brown Friday water-heater winter.

One week in January. Three jobs, one record.

A burst-pipe call, a water-heater replacement closing, and a property-manager drain ticket — history for the tech, the numbers for the office, one thread for the customer.

Burst pipe

The freeze found the weak fitting. Dispatch reshuffles the morning without dropping what was already booked, and the tech rolls with the shutoff location on the record.

Monday’s replacement options get a yes. Deposit collected on approval and the install scheduled from the same estimate, no re-entry.

Property-manager ticket

Unit 4B’s slow drain lands on the account, not a sticky note. The visit is documented before the invoice goes out on terms.

The emergency board and the replacement desk.

Plumbing money comes from two engines: the calls that cannot wait, and the replacements they turn into. Zaras runs both from the same record.

The emergency board

When the freeze hits, the board absorbs the surge without dropping the week that was already sold. The customer gets a real ETA, and the tech walks in knowing the house.

The replacement desk

A water heater is sold the same visit the old one dies. The desk keeps the options priced, and no open estimate sits idle.

What Zaras runs for plumbing.

The record, not the whiteboard: every job from first call to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

Plans and prices are public on the pricing page — no sales call to get a number.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Invoices and payments flow straight into QuickBooks — no double entry, no bookkeeper fights.

What happens to my data?

It’s yours, both directions. Customers, property history, and open estimates come in with you when you join — and everything exports, any time.

Can it run commercial work?

Yes — property-manager accounts with NET-terms billing, per-unit history, and documented visits live on the same record as your residential book.

What size shop is this for?

Plumbing shops running 1–40 crews — from an owner-operator to a multi-truck shop.
