Six jobs on one Monday

14 Sep · 6 stops

An example day. Each row is one job in Scope. Its estimate and invoice are separate records linked to it — shown on the right.

“And could you look at the gate while you're here?”

The add-on is where a $130 stop becomes a $390 stop — if you can price it without going back to the truck for a pad.

The job you never closed out

A job still open after its scheduled time gets flagged on Home.

Six stops a day means one gets left “in progress.” Scope points it out so you can finish it, and invoice it, before the week gets away from you.

What handymen ask before they switch

Is this overkill for two-hour jobs?

No setup wizard, no accountant, four screens. An estimate takes under two minutes.

Can I save my own services and hourly rates?

Yes. Save your most-used services and prices, including hourly labor. Add them to your next estimate and adjust quantities for the job, without entering everything again.

Customer adds work mid-job?

Send the extra work as a new estimate for them to approve, or add the line to the invoice before you send it.

Does it do my taxes?

No. It keeps the records clean so whoever does them has something to work with.

Can I turn an estimate into an invoice?

Yes. Turn an approved estimate into an invoice without retyping the items and prices. Keep the job notes, photos and client details together, from the first quote to the final bill.

Can I track deposits and partial payments?

Yes. Record a deposit or partial payment against an invoice and see the remaining balance, so you know what's been paid and what's still outstanding.
