Total Office Manager scores D+ on the API Report Card. Aptora ships an SDK, and the Next Gen rewrite adds an OAuth 2.0, API-first surface. There is no open developer portal, public key issuance, or interactive docs; API and SDK access is mediated through the product and partner channels, and the Next Gen API is still new.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Total Office Manager (by Aptora) is an all-in-one business management and accounting ERP built for the contracting trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical).
Field Service Management, Typically for SMB-to-mid-size HVAC/plumbing/electrical contractors wanting integrated accounting plus dispatching in one system. Contractors run their accounting and payroll, cost jobs, manage service agreements and work orders, schedule and dispatch field techs, track inventory, and use the mobile app to connect office and field staff day to day.
A long-established niche contractor ERP with a loyal base and presence on Capterra/SoftwareAdvice/SourceForge, but far smaller reach than ServiceTitan or Jobber.
Yes, holds contractors' full accounting, payroll, job costing, work orders, service agreements, and inventory; it is the financial and operational system of record.
~25 years old (Aptora founded ~2000). Long a Windows desktop / QuickBooks-replacement product; now modernizing via 'Total Office Manager Next Gen' with an API-first approach, OAuth 2.0, and TLS.
No clearly public self-serve developer portal; access is product/support-mediated. Next Gen API is newly introduced, so maturity/ecosystem is limited. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include ServiceTitan, Jobber, FieldEdge, Housecall Pro, Workiz. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Total Office Manager API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Total Office Manager data. See the Total Office Manager integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/total-office-manager-api.
