Welcome to Valortek: Software Built by Service Professionals, For Service Professionals

Why We Built Valortek Operations Software

I'm an IT consultant. For years, I struggled with helping my clients learn and use software that was either too expensive, too complicated, or just didn't understand how service businesses actually work. Then I met J'Lynn. A young Locksmith who is looking at becoming the future owner of the company. He wanted something more, something better, so we got started building Valortek Ops and Valortek Financial

QuickBooks? Great for accountants, overwhelming for most.

Enterprise field service software? $500/month per user? No thanks.

Free tools? They work... until they don't. Then you spend hours fixing things instead of working.

Sound familiar?

The Problem with Existing Software

Most business software is built by people who've never run a service business. They add every feature imaginable, charge enterprise prices, and require a computer science degree to use.

But here's the thing: Service business owners don't need complicated. We need practical.

We need:

  • Software that works the way we work
  • Pricing that makes sense for small businesses
  • Tools that solve real problems without creating new ones

What Makes Valortek Different

Plumbing Repair

Built by People Who Get It

I built the first version of my IT consultant business back in 1995. I had to reinvent the business many times as technology has changed. As a professional services provider I know how hard it is to juggle all of the business responsibilities. Valortek Operations was guided by J'Lynn as we worked together to bring the right combination of tools and resources into one solution to make technology work for us. J'Lynn is a brilliant young locksmith and businessman. His vision is exciting and I hope you see his energy as you work with our software. Every feature exists because of his energy and a few years of wisdom from an old timer.

When we added the Finance app, to make book keeping simple and to away from tax season panic. The features aren't theoretical - they're the exact things I wished I had without all of the additional junk.

Honest, Transparent Pricing

No "contact us for quote." No hidden fees. No per-user pricing that punishes you for growing.

Operations: $99/month Finance: +$50/month (or $99 standalone) Memre: Free

That's it. Unlimited users, unlimited data, all features included.

Actually Simple

HVAC Repair

When we say "simple," we mean it. Our operations software has 90% of what you need and none of what you don't.

No 10-hour onboarding. No consultant required. No manual thicker than a phone book. Live and recorded training to ensure you can successful use every aspect of the software.

You should be up and running in 15 minutes, not 30 days.

Our Philosophy

Appliance Repair

1. Software Should Work For You

Not the other way around. We designed around how you actually work, not how some consultant thinks you should work.

2. Pricing Should Be Fair

Small businesses shouldn't pay enterprise prices. Period.

3. Simple Beats Complex

A tool you actually use beats a tool with every feature imaginable that you never touch.

4. Real People, Real Support

When you email us, you talk to someone who can actually help. No chatbots, no tier-1 support that just reads scripts.

What's Next?

We're just getting started. Our roadmap includes:

  • Bank integration (Plaid)
  • More AI features (but practical ones)
  • Mobile app improvements
  • Additional integrations

But we'll never lose sight of what makes Valortek different: practical, affordable, built by people who get it.
