Field Service Estimate Software Your Techs Build at the Kitchen Table
The customer asks what it will cost. Your tech says he will work up a number and send it over. Then it is 9pm, he is at his own kitchen table with a legal pad and two other quotes to write, and the one that finally goes out Thursday has the wrong labor line on it. By then the homeowner has three prices from three shops and takes the one that showed up first. The quote you write tonight is the quote you lose.
JobField is field service estimate software that puts the number in the customer's hand before your tech packs up the truck. He builds it on his phone from your price book, shows the customer the screen, and sends it. When it comes back approved, the same line items become the job, and then the invoice, without anybody typing them a second time. Start a 14-day free trial, no credit card.

Write the estimate at the kitchen table, not at 9pm
The estimate that wins is the one the customer is holding while your tech is still standing in the kitchen. Your tech opens the job on his phone, taps in parts and labor from your price book, and the total updates on screen while the customer watches. The diagnostic photos he shot ten minutes ago attach to it. He sends it as a link before he loads the ladder, and it is sitting in the customer's texts by the time he is back on the road. Nothing rides home in a shirt pocket to be typed up later.
- Built on the phone from the open job — customer, address, and photos already attached
- The customer sees the priced screen before your tech walks out
- Sent as a link on the spot, not a PDF somebody emails tomorrow
The price book is what makes it fast
Speed comes from not pricing anything twice. Your price book holds your parts, your labor rates, and your flat-rate repairs at the numbers you already decided on, so writing an estimate is picking lines instead of doing arithmetic in a driveway. It also stops four techs from quoting four different prices for the same compressor swap, which becomes a real problem the day two customers compare notes at a barbecue. When your supplier raises a price, you change it in one place and every estimate written after that is right. A second-week tech quotes like your best tech.
- One catalog of parts, labor, and flat-rate repairs shared by every tech
- Change a price once and every estimate after it carries the new number
- Your margin lives in the price book instead of in a tech's head
Good, better, best beats one cheap number
Most techs quote the smallest thing that fixes the complaint, because that is the number that feels safe to say out loud. Put three numbers on the screen instead. The repair. The repair plus the part that is going to fail next winter. The replacement with the warranty. You can write more than one estimate on a job, so the customer is not answering yes or no, he is choosing. A lot of homeowners take the middle one, and the middle one is bigger than what your tech would have quoted on his own.
- Several priced estimates on one job — the customer picks a tier, not a yes or no
- The middle option usually beats a single cheapest-fix number
- Job photos on the estimate show why the bigger option is the honest one
Approved estimate becomes the job, then the invoice
An approved estimate is worth nothing if somebody has to retype it. When the customer says yes, you mark it approved and those line items drop onto the job itself: same parts, same labor, same prices. The tech does the work, and the invoice is already built from the lines the customer already agreed to. He collects at the curb with Tap to Pay on iPhone or sends a card link. Nothing between the kitchen table and your bank account passes through a spreadsheet, and nothing gets lost between the quote and the bill.
- Approved line items become the job's line items — no re-entry
- The invoice builds from the exact prices the customer approved
- Closed out on site with Tap to Pay on iPhone or an online card link
Flat price per company, so quoting more doesn't cost more
JobField is $49 a month for Starter, $149 for Pro, $299 for Platform, flat per company and not per tech. Hire a fourth guy in March and the bill does not move, which is not how Workiz, Housecall Pro, Jobber, or ServiceTitan sell it. Texting and calls are built into JobField and billed by JobField, never by a carrier — phone service is an add-on from $39.99/mo on any plan, on the same JobField bill, and JobField Pay handles the cards — your techs take Tap to Pay on iPhone at the door and payouts land in your bank account. The iOS app is live on the App Store, and there is an Android app too.
- $49 / $149 / $299 a month per company — never per seat
- Put every tech on it without watching the invoice climb
- JobField Pay built in — invoices get paid on-site, payouts land in your bank account
Frequently asked questions.
Can my techs build an estimate in the field?
Yes. That is the point of it. Your tech opens the job on the JobField app, adds parts and labor from your shared price book, and the priced estimate is ready to show the customer before he leaves. He sends it from the driveway as a link the customer can open on a phone, so there is no paperwork waiting for him at 9pm.
What is a price book and why does it matter for estimates?
Your price book is your catalog of parts, labor rates, and flat-rate repairs with the prices you have already set. You build it once in JobField and every tech quotes from it. That is what keeps estimates fast and keeps two techs from quoting two different prices for the same job. Change a price once and every estimate after that uses the new number.
How does the customer approve an estimate?
The estimate goes out as a link the customer can open on a phone and read, priced line by line, with the job photos attached. When they say yes, the estimate is marked approved in JobField and the decision is stamped on the job record, so you always know which version of the price the customer actually agreed to.
What happens after an estimate is approved?
The approved line items move onto the job, so the work order carries the same parts, labor, and prices the customer signed off on. When the job is finished the invoice builds from those same lines, and your tech can collect right there with Tap to Pay on iPhone or an online card link. No re-entry between estimate, job, and invoice.
Can I send good, better, best options?
Write two or three estimates on the same job at different prices: the basic repair, the repair plus the part that is on its way out, and the full replacement. The customer picks instead of just saying yes or no, and the option in the middle is usually a bigger ticket than a single cheapest-fix number would have been.
What does it cost and can I try it?
JobField is $49 a month for Starter, $149 for Pro, and $299 for Platform, priced per company instead of per technician. It is live and self-serve, and the iOS app is on the App Store. Start a 14-day free trial, no credit card, and write your first estimate today.
