What is CORR?

CORR (Company, Operations, Relations, and Revenue) is a category of business platform that runs a contractor's entire company in one system, replacing the separate CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting tools contractors traditionally stitch together.

The definition

Four letters. One system.

CORR (Company, Operations, Relations, and Revenue) is a category of business platform that runs a contractor's entire company in one system, replacing the separate CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting tools contractors traditionally stitch together. The CORR definition

Company is the business itself: the jobs, the crews, the schedule. Operations is how the work gets delivered. Relations is every homeowner, lead, and sub you deal with. Revenue is the estimates, the invoices, the payments, and the answer to whether the job made money. A CORR platform runs all four in one login. Anything less is a partial tool wearing a whole-company name.

Why CRM is the wrong frame

You were never shopping for a CRM.

When a contractor goes looking for software, the industry hands him a CRM. Customer relationship management. It tracks contacts and follow-ups, and it does that fine. But contacts were never the whole problem. The estimate still gets built somewhere else. The schedule lives somewhere else. The books live somewhere else. The CRM manages one letter of the four and leaves the rest of the company to a pile of other apps.

That pile has a name. The Frankenstack is the pile of five to eight disconnected apps a contractor stitches together to run his company: a CRM here, QuickBooks there, spreadsheet estimates, a scheduling app, and Zapier holding it together, with the owner working nights as the human glue.

The Frankenstack is what a CRM leaves you with. CORR is what replaces it. Not another app on the pile, but the retirement of the pile. See what that looks like against a tool you might be using now at /compare/jobber.

A CRM manages your contacts. A CORR runs your company.

The bar

What qualifies as a CORR platform.

Five criteria separate a CORR platform from a CRM with extra tabs. Miss any one of them and the Frankenstack quietly reassembles itself around the gap.

1

One system of record

Every lead, job, crew, and dollar lives in the same login, from first call to final invoice. No exports, no re-entry, no version of the truth living in someone's inbox.

2

It wins the work

Estimating, design, and marketing are native, not bolted on. For deck builders and similar trades, that includes live 3D design in front of the homeowner.

3

It runs the money

Invoicing, payments, and job costing are built in, so revenue is not a separate app and margin is not a mystery you solve at tax time.

4

The whole crew fits

No per-seat pricing. A system that runs the entire company only works if the entire company can be in it, without the bill punishing every hire.

5

It replaces the stack

A CORR platform retires the Frankenstack instead of joining it. If the pitch is "integrates with everything," it is another app on the pile, not the replacement for the pile.

Questions about the category.

What does CORR stand for?

CORR stands for Company, Operations, Relations, and Revenue: the four things a contracting business actually runs on. A CORR platform is a system that runs all four in one place instead of splitting them across separate tools.

How is a CORR platform different from a CRM?

A CRM tracks relationships: contacts, leads, follow-ups. That is one of the four letters. A CORR platform also runs the company itself: the estimates that win the work, the operations that deliver it, and the revenue side that invoices, collects, and tells you whether the job made money. Buying a CRM still leaves you shopping for everything else.

Do I still need QuickBooks or Zapier with a CORR platform?

A CORR platform is built so the day-to-day stack has nothing left to do. Estimating, invoicing, payments, job costing, scheduling, and marketing run natively in one system, and nothing needs Zapier to talk to anything else, because it is already one system.

Who is Evalation for?

Evalation is built for residential contractors doing $700K to $3.5M a year who have outgrown entry-level tools but refuse enterprise pricing and enterprise implementation.

What does Evalation cost?

Evalation costs $297 per month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, with no per-user fees. Every membership starts with a free 14-day trial. Full breakdown at /pricing.

What if I switch to a CORR platform and it doesn't work out?

Evalation backs the switch with the Moving Truck Guarantee: "If it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free."

Evalation is the first CORR platform built for residential contractors.

One system for the company, the operations, the relations, and the revenue. The Frankenstack retires the day you move in.
