Fixit: the repair app we built to turn a photo into an estimate.
Fixit by BondBoss turns a phone camera into a repair expert. Homeowners photograph a damaged roof, wall or floor, AI diagnoses the problem and returns an estimate in under 60 seconds, and they can book a certified pro near them or buy the right products in-app.
ZidTech designed and built the app for BondBoss, launched it on iOS and Android, and made the launch films and paid-social ads.

The brief.
Homeowners rarely know what’s wrong with a crack, a damp wall or a leaking roof, which product will fix it, or which contractor to trust. That uncertainty slows every sale and every job down. Fixit removes it.

Not a guess. A repair engine.
Behind the AI photo check, a rules-based engine builds every answer: the same area, issues, size and stock always get the same fix. Every signed-in diagnosis is saved, so BondBoss can see which surfaces homeowners diagnose.
What homeowners diagnose
Diagnoses saved by signed-in homeowner accounts, by area (28 Jul to 22 Oct 2026)
Source: Fixit app database (Base44), read-only count, measured 23 Oct 2026. Excludes 94 diagnoses saved by known team, BondBoss and ZidTech accounts (admin, pro, inspector and staff test accounts). Guest diagnoses are only saved if the guest signs in.
Walls are more than half of all homeowner diagnoses (168 of 302), followed by floors (75).

Connected to
In-store purchases from BondBoss’s Ops Core can be linked to a diagnosis and credited against the repair.
One team for the app and the growth engine.
We made the launch films and short-form ads, and built the measurement into the app.
How the growth engine works
- Video ads & launch filmsShort-form cuts for paid social
- Install or openFree on the App Store and Google Play, or on the web
- Free AI diagnosisNo account needed to diagnose or shop
- Pro job or Gear Shop orderBooked or bought in the same flow
- Measured end to endFunnel events in the app, server-side purchase events, and Shopify orders matched back to the app user
Built to close the loop. Diagnosis and purchase events are wired back to Meta (purchases server-side, through the Conversions API), so the next campaign can optimise for real repairs.
Fixit gives BondBoss a repair expert its customers carry in their pocket: instant answers, trusted pros, confident purchases and a direct line back to the brand. We built the app, the workspaces that run every job and the launch films, so a diagnosis, a pro job and a Gear Shop order all start in the same app.
