Business Management Software for Mobile Shear Sharpeners
Scheduling that thinks in routes. Billing that breaks out by person.
RIDELINE PRO connects your route, salon stops, individual groomer billing, customer history, rebooking, and reporting in one system built around the way mobile sharpening actually works.
Built and used every day by the team behind Shear Craftsman Sharpening.
Mobile day view
One salon stop isn't one customer.
The salon is the stop. The groomers inside it are the customers. One visit may include four or five people, each with different serviced items, totals, payment methods, discounts, and receipts.
ONE SALON STOP
- Groomer 1: Individual bill and receipt
- Groomer 2: Individual bill and receipt
- Groomer 3: Individual bill and receipt
- Groomer 4: Individual bill and receipt
Most programs force this into one customer record or one invoice. RIDELINE PRO was designed around the actual sharpening workflow.

Follow the route, open a salon stop, bill each groomer separately, record payments, issue receipts, and rebook — all from the phone experience used in the field.
Plan on desktop. Run the day on your phone.
Desktop monthly planning
Build the route before you drive it.
Use the desktop planning board to see the month, group stops by territory, move visits between days, hold tentative stops, and commit the route when it is ready.
Mobile day view
Carry the working day in your pocket.
On the phone, see the day's stops in drive order, open the route map, access customer information, manage the salon visit, bill each groomer, record payments, issue receipts, and rebook.

- Designed for mobile shear sharpeners — Rideline Pro is purpose-built for the trade, not adapted to it.
- One salon with several paying groomers — a single stop holds every customer inside it, each with their own account.
- Separate billing inside one physical stop — itemized bills, payments, and receipts per person, per visit.
- Geographic sharpening-route planning — stops organized by territory, month view on desktop, drive order on the phone.
- Recurring sharpening cycles — rebook visits at the right service interval so routes stay full.
- Connected customer, billing, and route history — the stop, the people, the money, and the calendar in one system.
General-purpose products may offer calendars, recurring jobs, maps, or invoicing. They are not purpose-built around one salon stop containing several independently paying groomers.
We built it because we needed it.
RIDELINE PRO was created by Ingra Aamodt and Scott Lankford of Shear Craftsman Sharpening after existing software failed to match the way their mobile sharpening business actually operated. It is not a theoretical workflow or a generic program adapted with workarounds. Shear Craftsman uses RIDELINE PRO to run its own routes, customers, billing, receipts, inventory, reporting, and day-to-day operations.

What Rideline Pro is
Rideline Pro is business management software for mobile shear sharpeners. It plans geographic sharpening routes, manages salon stops, and bills each groomer at a stop separately — with individual itemized bills, payment records, and receipts.
Its two core differentiators are route-based scheduling built for the sharpening trade and per-person billing inside a single salon stop. Rideline Pro runs on desktop for monthly route planning and on phones for the working day. New sharpeners start with a 30-minute demo at ridelinepro.com/demo.html.

Read the full terms →Frequently asked questions
Is Rideline Pro only for shear sharpeners?
Yes. Rideline Pro is purpose-built for mobile shear sharpeners. The one-salon-several-paying-groomers workflow — one physical stop containing multiple independent customers who each need their own bill and receipt — is specific to the sharpening trade, and the software is designed around it.
What can I do from my phone?
From the phone you see the day's stops in drive order, view the route map, access customer information, manage the salon visit, bill each groomer separately, record payments, issue receipts, rebook visits, and review reports. The phone carries the working day.
What requires the desktop?
The desktop monthly planning board is where you see the whole month, group stops by territory, move visits between days, hold tentative stops, and commit the route when it is ready. Planning happens on desktop; running the day happens on the phone.
Can I keep one salon location with several separate groomer accounts?
Yes. One salon is one location in Rideline Pro, and each groomer inside it is their own customer with their own profile, serviced items, payment records, and visit history.
Can each groomer get a separate bill and receipt?
Yes. Every groomer at a stop gets a separate itemized bill, payment record, and receipt. You can mix cash, Venmo, and card payments across groomers, and fees and discounts are applied to the correct person.
Can I import my existing customer list?
Yes. Pro and Ultimate plans include done-for-you customer-list import — send a spreadsheet, a CSV, or even photos of paper records, and the list is brought in for you. Basic subscribers enter their own customer information.
I'm a solo sharpener. Which plan fits?
Basic is built for solo sharpeners: one sharpener, one route. It includes per-person breakout billing, payment records and receipts, customer management, day and week scheduling, and your own Rideline Pro subdomain.
Can I add employees or additional routes?
Yes. Every plan includes unlimited logins, and Pro and Ultimate include team time clock and roles. Each additional route is $39 per month on Pro and Ultimate. A route is one sharpener running a concurrent route in a day.
Does Rideline Pro export to QuickBooks?
Yes. Rideline Pro produces QuickBooks-ready exports so your billing and business data move straight into your bookkeeping.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Service is month-to-month with no long-term contract. Cancel anytime; service runs through the paid term. An annual option pays for 11 months and gets 12, and new subscribers get a 30-day pro-rata refund.
