Software for Christmas light installation companies
CrewBrain runs your Christmas light business from one dashboard — seasonal install and takedown scheduling, deposits, recurring yearly customers, route planning, your phone line, and a crew app. Book the install and the takedown together, lock in dates with a deposit, and rebook last year's houses before the November rush hits.
The whole year happens in eight weeks.
A short, brutal install window, a takedown season nobody wants to track, and a goldmine of repeat customers you have to chase every fall. When deposits, routes, and rebooking live on sticky notes, you leave your best money — last year's houses — on the table.
Installs, takedowns, and rebooking in one brain.
From the first quote to next year's install, every customer lives in one place.
Install + takedown together
Book the install and the January takedown in one shot. CrewBrain holds both visits and routes them, so nobody's lights are left up until spring and no takedown slips through.
Rebook last year on autopilot
Christmas lights are a yearly business. Set houses to repeat each season and CrewBrain reminds them in the fall and books next year's install — so your route fills before the rush.
Deposits lock in the date
Send the quote and collect a deposit to reserve a December slot. Your short season fills with committed, paid bookings instead of maybes that vanish in November.
Route the season tight
Group installs and takedowns by neighborhood so crews knock out a street at a time. More houses per day in a window that only lasts a few weeks.
A crew app for the ladder
Crews get each address, the package and color notes, where the outlets are, and last year's photos on their phone — plus clock-in/out so hours roll into payroll.
A setup team that does it with you
CrewBrain is software and hands-on help. A dedicated account manager loads your packages and past customers and tunes a ready-made Christmas light template to your season — with the timing agreed around your season.
