Technology We Used
Dovnet
Dove Net Technologies develops The Project System a comprehensive enterprise business management platform designed for contractors and integrators operating in low‑voltage, systems, security, fire, HVAC, and related industries. Complementing this core platform is TPS Mobile a mobile solution that enables field technicians and sales teams to manage service tickets, job costs, quotes, and approvals directly from mobile devices.
Our team was engaged in the development, enhancement, and ongoing maintenance of both the core Project System and its mobile counterpart, ensuring stability, scalability, and continuous functional evolution across desktop and mobile environments.

Business Challenge
Contractors and systems integrators often rely on disconnected tools for estimating, purchasing, inventory, project tracking, service management, and billing. This fragmentation leads to duplicated effort, delayed invoicing, limited real‑time visibility, and operational inefficiencies—especially for organizations managing both office and field teams.
Dove Net required a robust, end‑to‑end business platform that could:
Standardize estimating, project execution, and service workflows
Integrate seamlessly with accounting systems
Support both office‑based users and mobile field technicians
Enable real‑time job cost tracking, billing, and service management
Scale across small teams and multi‑office enterprises
Solution
We worked on the development and continuous maintenance of The Project System an integrated enterprise platform that manages the complete business lifecycle—from estimating and proposals to purchasing, inventory, job costing, service tracking, and invoicing.
In parallel, we supported the development and enhancement of TPS Mobile, extending core system capabilities to mobile devices used by technicians and sales staff in the field. This combination enables a seamless flow of data between office operations and on‑site execution, ensuring accuracy, speed, and operational continuity.

Technology & Delivery Approach
The solution was delivered as a modular, enterprise‑grade system designed for long‑term scalability and reliability. Our engagement focused on:
Ongoing feature development and enhancements
Maintenance and optimization of existing modules
Mobile‑to‑core system synchronization
Stability, performance, and usability improvements
This ensured both platforms evolved in line with customer needs, industry requirements, and operational complexity.
Results & Impact
Unified estimating, project management, service, and billing into a single platform
Improved accuracy and speed of field‑to‑office data flow
