Estimates & Work Orders
Business call it bids, estimates, proposals or quotes and we call it Estimates!! Create estimates just like a normal work order. We have custom templates for Estimates in the most professional look with your company logo and header.

The All-Estimation page lists out all the estimations generated in the system with the respective statuses they are on- New, Pending Approval or Approved. All approved estimates can be converted to work orders and later on to an invoice once the job is completed. You can also get estimates approved personally and accept mobile signatures for that.
