Cilio API
Cilio CiO is the job-management and scheduling platform big-box installation contractors run on, pulling work orders and purchase orders straight from systems like the Lowe's Vendor Gateway and Home Depot Service Center — but it offers no public API, developer portal, or webhooks. Supergood creates a managed, unofficial Cilio API so your team can programmatically access work orders, purchase orders, jobs, schedules, installers, and invoices without waiting for a developer program that doesn't exist.
What is Cilio?
Cilio CiO (Customer Installations Online) is a cloud-based job management and scheduling platform for installation contractors. Founded in 2001, Cilio connects sales teams, field crews, and customers so contractors can schedule faster and get paid on time — spanning job management, scheduling, quoting and payments, crew management, and a mobile app for real-time job status, photos, and checklists.
Cilio's differentiator is retailer connectivity: the platform pulls orders and purchase orders directly from big-box systems like the Lowe's Vendor Gateway and Home Depot Service Center, and pushes job status back for retailer compliance. It serves independent installers, big-box installer networks, and enterprise brands managing national installer programs, with more than 20,000 active users per month and installers in all 50 states.
Common data entities:
- Work orders and retailer purchase orders
- Jobs and job status updates
- Schedules and crew assignments
- Installer and crew profiles
- Quotes, payments, and invoices
The Cilio Integration Challenge
- No public API, developer portal, SDKs, or webhooks — there is no self-serve programmatic path into CiO
- Retailer integrations like the Lowe's Vendor Gateway and Home Depot Service Center conduits, along with QuickBooks connections, are proprietary Cilio-built pipelines — not open integration points third parties can use
- Work order, purchase order, and job status data is only reachable through the CiO web application and the CiO GO mobile app
- Users report sync gaps between CiO and external order-management systems, forcing manual re-entry and reconciliation
- Cilio is not covered by any unified-API connector, so there is no aggregator shortcut to its data
How Supergood Creates Cilio APIs
Supergood builds and operates an unofficial, managed API on top of Cilio's web application. Instead of waiting for a developer program that doesn't exist, your team gets clean REST endpoints for the work orders, purchase orders, jobs, schedules, and invoices already in your CiO account — using your own authorized credentials.
- Managed authentication and session handling for your Cilio credentials, including MFA
- Normalized JSON responses for work orders, POs, jobs, schedules, installers, and invoices
- Continuous monitoring and automatic adaptation when Cilio ships UI or workflow changes
- Webhook-style change notifications so downstream systems stay in sync
