I have designed PricePoint Advantage to help you run a successful plumbing service business. Cloversoft has been committed to serving plumbing, heating and mechanical contractors since 1993 and we thank you for your purchase. You should congratulate yourself for your forward thinking commitment to increased professionalism in this wonderful business. - Tim Sullivan (2014)

Tim Sullivan has since retired and is no longer in charge of PricePoint Advantage. As always, we stand behind and continually support and improve our products. Therefore, I have reviewed and improved the tasks and job descriptions in Advantage and they are up to date as of July 2021.- Tim Clover

What Advantage is

PricePoint Advantage (PPA) is a collection of flat rate tasks that have been created within PricePoint, a popular software package for plumbing and heating contractors. It is our hope that these tasks will provide a flat rate pricing system covering over 95% of situations a service and repair plumber would encounter. PPA is designed to be used with the PricePoint Mobile iPad app that enables technicians to invoice customers in the field and email the data to the PricePoint desktop software.
