ScopeBid

Out in the driveway the customer asks for a price, while the last similar job sits in a notebook in the van. ScopeBid keeps past jobs on an iPhone or iPad, so a new quote can start from one of them with its rates and materials carried over. The app is made for painters, cleaners, handymen, landscapers and mobile detailers, and quoting works offline as well, down in a basement with no signal.

The Profit Guard screen shows customer price, direct cost, gross profit, margin and markup as separate figures. A discount shows its effect on the margin at once, and an optional warning flags quotes below your minimum margin. The customer PDF carries your logo and payment terms but leaves out cost and profit, and customers can sign on the phone in person.

Extra work mid-job becomes a priced change order that appears on the final invoice once. Approved quotes turn into invoices, and the app records deposits and partial payments while the card payment happens elsewhere. A short closeout compares estimated and actual cost and feeds the result back into the job history. Data stays on the device with no cloud copy, so backups are exported by hand from Settings.
