Contractors that are dominating their markets in 2018 do two things very well.
- First, they use technology to streamline tasks that old school contractors are still wasting time on.
- Second, they have processes in place to help them manage their cash flow.
But you’re probably wondering:
“How do you find time to pick the right tools and create these processes?”
That’s the best part, if you choose the right tool, the processes are pretty much in place. For example, there are many free invoice templates and quote templates online but everything must be done manually which is time consuming. Enter JobFLEX, our estimating and invoicing app for Google Android devices. This tool was designed by contractors, for contractors to help manage estimates and invoices so you can focus on doing what you do best. Here’s a quick rundown of the key features:
- Easy to update pricing lists. While your competitors struggle to price every estimate that comes along, JobFLEX allows users to edit and upload Excel files for standard pricing that can then be added quickly and easily from the app. “But who has time to build out a full price list?” you might ask. Fear not, we’ve put together a collection of starter lists with average pricing rates for common contractor work items. We can’t
make it any easier than that! - Professional looking quotes in seconds. With your pricing list in hand, simply add the customer’s info, any outstanding items and client notes and give your quote a quick preview before you send it. JobFLEX will then generate a PDF file of the quote and send it right from the job site. While your competitors might take days to send a quote, you’ll already be on your way to quoting your next job.
- Estimates become invoices in a snap. Why should you have to start a whole new process for sending an invoice when you have all of that information in the quote already? With JobFLEX, you don’t have to. Just navigate to the estimate and use the dropdown to select create an invoice and you’re all set to send it to your customer.
- Get paid on time. If you’re tired of getting paid late, JobFLEX can help you with that as well. Set the default payment terms to zero days and every invoice will read “payable on receipt”. You can also add a note to include late payment terms to help motivate clients to get out their checkbooks. If you want to require a down payment before beginning work, add a note to your quotes letting your potential customers know that you require X% down before you’ll begin work. Set this up once and your new payment processes will make late paying customers a thing of the past.

This all sounds great but it probably costs an arm and a leg right? Wrong. For a single user JobFLEX costs a mere $56 a year, and for a multi-user setup our pro package is only $90 annually.
