Pin Pilot — Field Service CRM for Contractors & Service Pros Pin Pilot helps solo contractors, field sales reps, and service professionals track every client, job, and dollar — all from one map-based app built for people who work on the go. DROP A PIN, TRACK THE CLIENT: Add a client right from the map or manually, with notes, voice memos, photos, and custom status tags (Hot Lead, Active Client, Follow Up, and more). Use Scan/Upload Info to pull contact and job details straight from a business card or a screenshot from Thumbtack, TaskRabbit, or similar platforms. INVOICES & QUOTES, DONE RIGHT: Create quotes and invoices per client, track them from "Draft" to "Sent" to "Paid", and share them with clients through a secure portal link — no app or account required on their end. Clients can approve, request changes, or leave a note, and you'll see their response the moment it happens. GET PAID FOR YOUR TIME: Track billable hours with the built-in Hourly Timer, attach job photos, set your rate, and mark sessions Paid or Unpaid. Log mileage for every trip and export CSV or PDF reports at tax time. SEE YOUR REVENUE, CLEARLY: A real-time Revenue dashboard breaks down what you've earned by Week, Month, or Year — and by service category — pulling from paid invoices, tracked hours, and completed jobs automatically. STAY ON SCHEDULE: Calendar view auto-fills with completed jobs, timer sessions, and invoice/quote activity, so you always know what happened and when — no manual logging required. WORK SMARTER WITH AI: Use the AI Assistant to search, schedule, and manage clients with your voice, and let Scan/Upload Info do your data entry for you. Built for people who work in the field, not behind a desk — landscapers, cleaners, handymen, contractors, and independent service pros of every kind. Free to start.
