01Bids eat your evenings

Still building quotes after everyone went home?

Claim your nights back. Every dollar on the job gets costed for you, and the quote is ready to send.

  • No hand typing. No copying from a spreadsheet into Word into a time app.
  • Walk the roof, pick the system, and the materials, labour and extras are priced with your own supplier prices.
  • The proposal comes pre-built: cover, scope, investment, terms, warranty and acceptance pages in your brand, filled in from the estimate, options and add-ons included.
  • Something keeping you up? Send it from your phone in minutes, then go to bed.

02Profit leaks between bid and job

You won the job. Did you win the margin?

Keep the number you sold connected to the work you actually run.

  • What you sold, approved changes, and what the job has cost so far, on one screen.
  • Labour from the same clock the crew punched, not a guess.
  • Your costs and margin never reach the customer.

Approved changes+$5,350
Margin, so farOn track

✓ Costs are tracking behind the work. You’ll know mid-job, not at tax time.

03The job lives in texts

Where’s that photo? Who has the measurement?

One job record the office and the field both work from.

  • Photos, schedule, crew, documents and money in one place.
  • The crew sees what they need. Prices stay in the office.
  • English, Spanish or French, for each person.

04Signatures stall jobs

Good jobs sitting on someone’s kitchen table?

The customer opens a link, picks their options and signs on their phone.

  • You see when they opened it and which pages they read.
  • Signed means the job is real: number assigned, ready to schedule.
  • Subs and new hires sign the same way.

05Proof, months later

Can you prove what was there, and what your crew did?

The record builds itself while the work happens.

  • Every photo pinned to the job with the date, time and place.
  • Before and after, side by side, in a gallery the customer can open.
  • Ready when a warranty call or a dispute comes in.

06Safety paperwork

The form only matters when somebody asks for it.

Make the paper trail part of the job, not a clean-up project.

  • Hazard assessments, hot-work permits and toolbox talks on the crew’s phones.
  • Signed, timestamped and filed against the job.
  • An inspector asks, you open it.

07Double entry

Estimate it. Retype it. Schedule it. Explain it. Invoice it. Sick of all this?

Here’s what we offer instead: enter the job once, and it keeps moving forward on its own.

  • What was sold becomes the work order, the schedule and the invoice.
  • Approved changes land on the invoice by themselves.
  • Hours flow to payroll, ready for your accounting software.

Keep QuickBooks. For now.

Invoices, payments, expenses, job costs, payroll hours and profit live in The Forge. It doesn’t replace your accounting software yet. We’re working on that. Until then it exports clean in a click to QuickBooks Online or Desktop, checked before the file is made so nothing bounces.
