Plumber Invoice & Estimate
Read full descriptionHide full description
Run your whole plumbing business from your phone — create a professional invoice or estimate at the job site in under a minute, capture the customer's signature, and get paid faster. Built for plumbers and trade pros who'd rather be on the tools than buried in paperwork. Whether you're quoting a new boiler, billing a callout, or turning an approved estimate into an invoice with one tap, everything you need is in your pocket. KEY FEATURES Create invoices, estimates, receipts, credit notes, and change orders in seconds, then convert an estimate into an invoice — or a change order from any document — without re-typing a thing. Build line items fast with a reusable price book of your services and parts, complete with quantity, unit price, tax, discounts, deposits, and markup. Totals, tax, and rounding are calculated automatically, and you can set up recurring invoices for regular clients. Manage every client in one place — add, edit, and search by name, phone, or address — and attach full job details including job address, property type, labor hours, warranty terms, and your own notes and terms. Add before-and-after labeled photos and file attachments like certificates or supplier PDFs, then capture a digital customer signature on-device to get sign-off right there on the job. Generate clean, professional PDFs with multiple templates and custom accent colors, ready to print or save. Track payment status (draft, unpaid, partially paid, paid, overdue), record payments, and mark documents as paid. See exactly where you stand with a dashboard showing total earned, unpaid, and overdue amounts plus recent documents. Log expenses by category and view monthly totals, then pull financial reports grouped by month, client, or item to see revenue, expenses, and profit across any date range. Save reusable job templates with pre-set line items, set up your business profile with logo, signature, default terms, and numbering prefixes, and protect everything with a PIN app lock. Back up and restore your full data anytime, so your records are always safe. No paperwork. No desktop required. Just fast, professional documents that win jobs and get you paid. Developed by Fexo.
