ELEVATE SERVICE COMMAND AUTOMATION PIPELINE ENGINE
Run your service business on the system built by someone who’s already done it.
Escape is the done-for-you CRM and automation platform for home-service companies — it captures every lead, chases every quote, books every job, and asks for every review. Automatically.
Not built by a software company. Built from the truck.
Into the trade
Anthony Moore starts as an HVAC technician in Upstate South Carolina — attics, crawlspaces, on-call weekends.
First company — $786K in year one
Everything that worked got written down and turned into a system.
$1M+ with a team of 15
The systems got stress-tested at scale: dispatch, follow-up, reviews, memberships.
Elevate Home Specialists
The current operating company — and the live testbed where every Escape automation runs first.
Elevate Academy
The coaching side of Elevate — helping technicians make the jump from turning wrenches to owning the company, with live training, playbooks, and community.
Escape
The exact system running our own shop, packaged so your shop can run on it too — built, migrated, and trained for you.
What Escape is — and what it isn’t.
Escape is
- ✓ A complete operating system for your shop — booking, dispatch, follow-up, reviews, billing
- ✓ Done for you: built around your business, your customers migrated, your team trained
- ✓ One price for your whole company — no per-seat fees, ever. Texts, calls and emails bill on what you actually use, at rates that drop with every plan
- ✓ Proven daily inside a real HVAC company before it ever reaches yours
Escape isn’t
- ✕ A login and a “good luck” — you’re never left to configure software alone
- ✕ Per-technician pricing that punishes you for hiring
- ✕ A generic CRM you have to bend to fit the trades
- ✕ A long-term trap — month-to-month after your first term
The Core System, plus the modules that grow you.
Every plan starts with the Core System — online booking, confirmations and reminders, the dispatch board, on-the-way texts, customer reschedule and cancel links, job history, payment close-out, and one inbox that holds every call, text, email, Google and Facebook message in a single thread. Then add the modules your business needs:
Estimates & Deposits
Automatic follow-up on every quote until it closes — plus deposit collection.
Payment Recovery
Unpaid invoices chased politely and automatically until the money is in.
Reviews & Retention
Google review requests after every job, and tune-up reminders that bring customers back.
Lead Capture
Instant replies to new leads, missed-call text-back, and re-engagement of old quotes.
Membership & Warranty
Sell and manage maintenance plans with automated signup and renewals.
AI Layer
AI that answers and books your leads by text and replies to your Google reviews — $197/mo on any plan, plus the AI minutes you use. Built around your hours, service area and pricing, not a generic bot.
The Dynamic Estimate Builder — good/better/best estimates built for you, delivered with a personal video, signed and deposited online. Contractors who put four or more options in front of the customer close at 52%, against 42% for those showing one or two — and only 10% of contractors do it. Exclusive to the Liberate plan.Source: Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) & Farmington Consulting Group contractor survey, 2026.
Real shops. Real words.
“Answering calls and booking appointments in the attic or crawlspace was going to be the death of me. Not answering meant missed opportunities. Escape has changed all of that for my company!”
“Choosing a CRM for our new company was such a hassle. We could not seem to land on one that took everything we wanted into one program. With Escape, it actually feels personalized to small service businesses.”
Four plans. One system. No per-tech pricing, ever.
Built in a week. Fully operational in two — migration, training, and support included on every plan. Phone numbers are the one exception: carrier registration runs on the carrier’s clock, not ours, and can take longer.
