MyForeman is the field-service CRM built for contractors: solo operators, small crews, and growing trade businesses. Quote, schedule, invoice, and get paid from one phone. QUOTES THAT CLOSE THEMSELVES Build line-item quotes in 60 seconds. Customers approve from their phone. The moment they approve, MyForeman drops a Pending job on your list, ready to schedule. No email tag, no PDFs, no chasing. DISPATCH + TRACK JOBS Assign jobs to crew or drop them in a pool. Track hours, log expenses tagged to the job, mark complete. Snap before/work/after photos right from your phone. They save to the job forever as your insurance record, customer proof, and portfolio. CHANGE ORDERS, HANDLED Scope changed mid-job? Send a change order from any active job. The customer approves it from their phone, and the amount rolls into the final invoice automatically. No surprise charges, no awkward conversations. INVOICES SEND THEMSELVES When you mark a job complete, the invoice fires automatically. Customers pay by card via Stripe (funds go to YOUR Stripe account, zero platform cut), or via Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or PayPal, all in one tap. Past-due invoices auto-remind at 7, 14, and 30 days, branded by your business. YOUR PRICE BOOK List the services you offer and what you charge. When you build a quote, pick from the list and the price autofills. Stop typing the same line items. LEADS COME TO YOU Share your QR code or booking link on your truck, business cards, or social posts. Anyone who scans lands on YOUR quote form and shows up in your leads automatically. CREW + TIME TRACKING Invite your crew. They clock in/out, log expenses with photos of receipts, log mileage at IRS rates. You approve their submissions; everything rolls into tax and payroll-ready CSVs. TAX + EXPENSES Snap a receipt at the supply store, tagged to the job. We categorize it, mark what's deductible, and roll it into your quarterly tax estimate automatically. Business mileage at the IRS rate. Accountant-ready CSV exports. CUSTOMER TEXTING Customers get branded texts at every milestone: scheduled, on the way, invoice sent, payment received, feedback request. They reply STOP to opt out. AI BUILT IN Tap the AI bubble on any screen to ask Claude about your business in plain English. "Who's my biggest customer this year?" "How much did I spend on lumber last quarter?" "Which jobs are missing photos?" It reads your real data and answers in seconds. Plus a monthly AI Coach: 4-5 specific actions to grow your business, based on YOUR numbers. PRIVACY + OWNERSHIP Your data is yours. We don't sell it. Customers pay you direct via Stripe Connect. Funds go to your account, not ours. Cancel anytime. Free 14-day trial.
