Article Summary
The article, written by Joseph DiStefano (click here to view original article), spotlights our work with Express Drains, a Warminster-based drain cleaning company that handles over 100 service calls a day across Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs. Before Shwego, Express Drains‘ owner Ryan Larrimore was managing his entire operation through a shared Gmail account, paper financial records, and weekend spreadsheet sessions with his wife. Jobs were getting lost, routes weren’t optimized, and the business had outgrown its tools.
That changed when Ryan came on as Shwego’s first client. With real-time technician tracking, mobile dispatching, job pinning on a live map, and digital invoicing, his team can now see where every technician is, route the nearest available driver to a new job, and close out the night without touching a piece of paper.
The Inquirer also covered the story behind Shwego — how co-founders Sam Puleo and Junny Kim built the platform specifically for trades businesses that need straightforward software without the complexity and cost of enterprise solutions. Shwego is now serving home services businesses across the Philadelphia region and beyond.
What’s Next at Shwego
We’re just getting started. QuickBooks integration, mobile texting, and a growing list of features are already in the pipeline — all built around the same principle that’s driven us from day one: keep it simple, and make it work for the people actually running these businesses.
