Hi all. Long-time lurker, first post. Disclosure up front: I built the thing I'm about to talk about. Not flogging it, genuinely want feedback from working sparks before I keep going.
The problem (mostly observed watching a sole trader in the family (cousin) finally get fed up of me asking questions): you do an EICR for a landlord in 2023, the cert's good for five years, you forget, they forget, 2028 rolls around, either it's lapsed or someone else got to them first. The repeat work you've already earned quietly leaks out of the back catalogue without you noticing because the certs you forgot about don't show up in your job book. I made a solution that benefited my cousin will hopefully aid many others.
The thing's called Recurvia (recurvia). One job: emails your landlords at 90, 30 and 7 days before their EICR expires — in your name, from your business, replies go to your inbox. Landlord has no idea software is involved. You book the job.
What it isn't:
A job management tool. Doesn't replace ServiceM8/Tradify/Joblogic.
Invoicing or scheduling.
AI-anything (it's just software).
Free plan does 25 certs and the first 5 reminder sends with no card. Enough to import your back catalogue and see if it's worth keeping. Paid is for portfolios bigger than that.
Genuine ask:
Is this actually useful or am I solving a problem nobody has?
For those of you running renewal pipelines already , what works, what doesn't?
Anything obvious I'm getting wrong about how the work actually flows in practice?
Trying to maximise the value of a potentially promising idea without putting my self in a deeper financial hole. If you run out of reminder emails while testing, let me know and I’ll refresh your usage. I’ll also double the certificate storage capacity for anyone who gives proper feedback.
Please let me know if you ran out of emails, I will refresh your usage and I'll double the certificate storage capacity to anyone who gives me feedback.
Happy to take it on the chin if it's a daft idea. Cheers.
