Start free, no credit cardSee every featureWhy holiday lighting businesses need their own software
Most field service software assumes steady, year-round appointments. A Christmas light business does most of its year in about twelve weeks: quotes in the fall, a rush of installs before Thanksgiving, service calls in December, and takedowns in January. Every home has two visits, crews change by the week, and the weather moves everything around.
Merry Manage is built around that season. Set up a home once, schedule its install and takedown, and the route, crew schedule and invoice follow from it.

How Merry Manage compares
Frequently asked questions
What is Christmas light installer software?
It's scheduling, routing and billing software for holiday lighting businesses. It tracks each home's install and takedown, builds each day's route, gives crews their stops on a phone, and invoices homeowners, so the season doesn't run on a spreadsheet and a group text.
Is there free software for Christmas light installers?
Yes. Merry Manage has a Free plan at $0/month with unlimited jobs, scheduling, a client portal, team management and a free listing in the independent installer directory. Growth adds route optimization and online payments for $9.99/month after a 15-day trial.
Can I just use Jobber or a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet works for your first few homes. Once you have crews, installs and takedowns on different dates, and invoices going out, it gets hard to keep straight. General tools like Jobber can work, but they're built for many trades and cost more each month.
Does it work on my crew's phones?
Yes. Merry Manage runs in the browser on iPhone and Android, so crews can see the day's homes, get directions, check in and out, and complete jobs from the driveway.
