# Quoting & Estimates Software for Field Service

## Headline

Estimates you can send before you leave the driveway

## Summary

Build on-site estimates with saved line items, send them for approval, and turn accepted work into scheduled jobs.

## Common Comparison Points

- **Slow quotes lose to faster competitors**: When estimates wait until you are back at a desk, the homeowner books someone who texted a number first.
- **Ballpark numbers that haunt you later**: Verbal ranges without a written scope make change orders and disputes more likely.
- **Estimates lost in email threads**: Without a central record, you do not know which leads are warm and which went cold.

## Capabilities

- **Fast estimates from the field**: Add common services and parts as line items on site — send before the customer shops the next bid.
- **Professional proposal layout**: Clear scope, pricing, and terms — customers approve from their phone.
- **Estimate to job in one step**: Accepted estimates become scheduled jobs — scope and customer details carry over.
- **Pipeline visibility**: Track draft, sent, viewed, accepted, and lost — focus follow-up on the warm leads.

## Example Workflow

1. Scope the job on site. Create an estimate from the customer record — add parts and labor from your saved line items.
2. Send while you are there. Customer reviews and approves from their phone — you see when they open it.
3. Book the work. Convert accepted estimates to jobs on your board — ready to schedule.

## FAQ

### Is this the same as quoting?

Yes. FieldRobin calls these estimates in the product. Quote and proposal mean the same workflow — build, send, track, and convert to jobs. /features/quoting redirects here.

### What is field service quoting software?

It is software that builds and sends job quotes from the field, tracks approval, and turns wins into scheduled work—so estimates are not stuck in a separate spreadsheet or email thread.

### Can I reuse line items across estimates?

Yes. Save common services and parts and add them to new estimates quickly. FieldRobin is quote-and-invoice oriented; shops that need a deep flat-rate pricebook as a daily catalog often compare Housecall Pro for that specialty.

### What happens when an estimate is accepted?

Convert it to a scheduled job — customer, scope, and pricing carry over automatically.

### Can I estimate from my phone?

Yes. Create and send estimates from your phone browser while you are still on the property. An iOS app is coming soon to the App Store.

### How do estimates connect to invoices?

Accepted work becomes a job on your board. When the visit is complete, invoice from that job—same customer record end to end.
