Handshake Local
Local service businesses deserve tools that match how they work
Handshake Local is a platform for independent providers who run on appointments, relationships, and reputation—not on a patchwork of inboxes and single-purpose apps. We bring bookings, client context, visibility, and day-to-day operations into one calm workspace so you can spend less time coordinating and more time doing the work clients pay you for.
A single home for bookings, clients, and operations
Providers publish a profile clients can trust: what you offer, how you price, and when you are actually available. Bookings land in one place instead of scattered across text threads. You keep notes, history, and follow-ups next to each customer, and you can track payments your way—without being forced into a processor you did not choose.
When you want more demand, you can opt into discovery so nearby clients can find you through Handshake Local—while still serving everyone who already knows your name.
Building better infrastructure for service commerce—starting local
Service commerce is still fragmented: too much still lives in DMs, voicemails, and improvised spreadsheets. We are focused on practical software that reduces friction where it hurts most—scheduling, records, and clarity for both sides of the appointment.
We start local because geography and trust still drive how many independent businesses grow. That grounding keeps the product honest. Longer term, we are working toward deeper infrastructure for how services are sold, scheduled, and run—without losing the straightforward experience providers need day to day.
Handshake Collective
Professional services when you want hands-on help
Handshake Collective is the professional services arm of our company. We offer paid implementations, structured onboarding, and ongoing support for teams that want to move faster than self-serve setup—or need help aligning staff, services, and client workflows around a single system.
We are also expanding how we support commerce-heavy businesses: expect growing capability around Shopify and related channels for providers whose work spans in-person services and online storefronts. If you are planning a deeper rollout or an agency-style engagement, Collective is the path to a staffed, accountable project—not a ticket queue.
