Built by installers, for installers.

Let's be real about installer work. You wait on someone else to send you jobs. They set your rate. Your pay shows up late, or gets held. The work dries up with no warning. And when you call, nobody answers. Sound familiar?

Here is where it flips. With API Signal, the customer is yours. You set your price, you bill the customer directly, and you keep every dollar of the job. The repeat work is yours too. No middleman holding your money, ever.

And we control the tap. Our marketing brings in fleet install leads every day. We screen every one, and we send the real ones straight to you. More installs, close to home, and they all build your business, not ours.

So what does it cost? Almost nothing compared to the job. Seventy five dollars for a small fleet lead, one to ten vehicles. One fifty for a large fleet lead, eleven to twenty five vehicles. Over twenty five vehicles, we quote it before you accept. And you are only charged when you accept.

A fleet calls us, and we check the job is real before it goes anywhere. Then it lands on your phone with the vehicles, the equipment, the location and the price. You get one hour to accept or pass. Pass, or let the hour run out, and you pay nothing.

Every lead goes to one installer, never to a group of bidders. Each county has one primary installer and up to three backups. The primary gets the first hour, then each backup gets thirty minutes in turn.

Here is what it looks like. A five truck job at one fifty a truck is seven fifty. The lead fee is seventy five, so you keep six seventy five. The customer is yours, and so is the repeat work.

It is fair, and it is in writing. Your first lead is on us. After that, you keep a one hundred fifty dollar balance on account, and each lead fee comes out of it. You bill the customer and keep all of it. There are no monthly fees, bad leads are credited back, and you can leave any time with your unused balance refunded.

Ready for more installs? You need two years of hands on twelve volt or telematics experience, general liability insurance, and a business E I N. The application takes about a minute, right here on this page. Let's grow your business together!
