Work Estimate Details

The Work Estimate app is designed to quickly assemble a job estimate at the site and immediately email it to the client. In addition to also sending a copy to the contracting company, this estimate is stored and forms the basis to automatically send the final invoice. COMPANY SETUP To setup the app for the first time, you enter some basic information about your company, the name, phone number, email and contact person. On the landing Job Estimate page, tap Setup and type this information into the appropriate text entry boxes on the Company Info page. Tap Save and then review your entries to ensure they are correct. \n\nNote that this Setup needs only be done once, when the app is first installed. The information is stored permanently on the phone afterwards. CUSTOMER INFO To begin, tap the Customer Info button on the app landing page screen and then enter the requested informatoion about the client; their name, phone, email and any other comments you choose. Then tap the Save button. Client information is stored by phone number. JOB ESTIMATE Next return to the Job Estimate page and tap Job Details. Enter the client phone number at the top, then a job description just below that. You have several ways to can enter the job details. First is a line beginning with Units. You might use this if you are estimating based on square feet, for example. Enter the number of units, their type, and finally enter your billing charge per unit. If you scroll down this Unit line, there is another (optional) line into which you can enter the dimensions of the area for which the Units number refers. After the length and width are entered, tap Area. The answer will appear in the Units box in the upper of the two lines. Next down, if you wish to list parts, there is a scrolling section for parts 1 through 4. For each part type, enter the name, the cost (do not enter the dollar sign) and the number into the appropriate sections. If you do not enter the number (#), it will be assumed to be 1. Below the parts section is an optional line where you can enter your billable hours and hourly rate. The next line down has a box marked Other where you can enter any other charges in your estimate. In the simplest form of an estimate, this might be the only text box that you filled in at all. To the right is the final text entry box into which you enter the percentage tax which will be added to your bill, 13 for example (do not enter percentage symbol). The bottom text entry line is for reductions. These can be either a fixed amount like 200 entered into the left box, or else a percentage discount like 10, for example for a 10% seniors discount. When all the info that you choose to enter is complete, tap Total and that amount will appear in the blue rectangle at the bottom left of the screen. If this seems OK, tap Next to go to the Review Summary page. SENDING THE ESTIMATE Assuming you entered the client information, and repeated the client phone # on the Job Detail page, then client details will be shown above the job item amounts. Check the amounts to ensure they are correct. Then tap Send Estimate and an email containing the estimate summary will be sent to the client, and a copy sent to your company email for a record. SENDING AN INVOICE After the work is completed, you can also use the app to send a final invoice. Return to the Job Detail page and enter the client phone number and then tap the Retrieve button. The estimate details should re-appear in the appropriate text boxes. Then type Next to go to the Review Summary page. You now enter the payments details into the white Payment Terms box, for example Due within 30 days. Then tap Send Invoice and a copy will be sent to the client and another to your company email. FINAL ADVICE Do test the app first with an imaginary client, to which you assign your own email address. Follow all the steps and you should receive two copies of the estimate and two of the invoice to your own company's email.
