BlueDog Qualifier turns a home walkthrough into a credible budget before you leave the driveway. Built for residential AV integrators — the teams that design and install home audio, video, lighting, and automation — Qualifier replaces the notepad-now, spreadsheet-later routine with one tool that works the way a site visit actually goes. SCOPE THE JOB, YOUR WAY Capture on the spot or capture first and price later. Walk the house room by room, dictate what you see, or type quick notes. Nothing forces you to price a job while standing next to the client. BUILD THE BUDGET IN MINUTES Estimates are good-better-best ranges, not rigid line items. Set a default tier for the whole job, then bump any room or any single line up a level — Better in the primary bedroom, Best in the home office. When a client asks for a specific product, drop the exact model in instead of a range. WORKS WHERE THE JOBS ARE Basements, new construction, rural builds. Qualifier is offline-first: create clients, build estimates, and edit scope with no signal at all. With Pro, everything syncs the moment you are back on a network, so the estimate you built in a basement is on your iPad by the time you reach the truck. YOUR BRAND, NOT OURS Every surface your client sees carries your company's name, logo, and colors. Email a branded PDF yourself, or send it for online review with Pro — either way the client opens something that looks like it came from you. CLIENTS REVIEW AND APPROVE (Pro) Send an estimate and the client opens it in their browser, asks questions in comments, and approves the scope — so the yes is on the record instead of buried in an email thread. BACK OFFICE THAT KEEPS UP Manage your own product catalog, labor rates, fees, and tier pricing once, and every estimate uses the same numbers. Your clients, your rates and your branding travel with you, and with Pro they are on every device you sign in to. Qualifier is powered by BlueDog Data and built on the BlueDog scope-to-retainer methodology. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT Surveys, rooms and systems, Good/Better/Best pricing, your own product catalog, your rates and fees, your branding, and a PDF estimate you email yourself — all on the device, and all of it works with no signal. BLUEDOG QUALIFIER PRO — two weeks free Cloud sync across your devices, send an estimate for online review and approval, and BlueDog Intelligence: describe a house out loud and Qualifier builds the rooms.
