Quote, schedule, get paid

A marked job photo beside a quote

The scope is the picture

The quote carries the marked shot. They approve what they can see.

Photos on the quote

A work order scheduled from the same job

The work order comes from the same job

Once they say yes, the job is already on the schedule. You are not retyping the scope into another app.

Same job

The invoice still has the photo

The bill shows the work. They pay from the same thread as the proof, not a naked total in an email.

Proof on the invoice

A lead and an estimate on one job card

The lead and the estimate are one job

The request, the quote, and the photos stay on one card. Nothing has to be copied across tools.

One card

Quote to cash on one job card — with the photos attached

Estimates and invoices in FWDLink are built for field proof, not blank PDFs. Capture the job in the jobsite photo app, mark the shot with photo annotations or sketch a layout on canvas, then attach those files to the quote. The client sees numbers and pictures on the same document — scope they can approve, not a paragraph they have to imagine. Creating and organizing albums keeps every visit under the address you bill.

Sharing progress and sharing paperwork are related but separate. FWD a live share link when the homeowner wants a gallery; send the estimate when they need a price. Both pull from the same album on the job card. Sharing an album explains link types; your CRM pipeline tracks whether the job is New, Quoted, Booked, or Paid without duplicating records.

Leads do not live in a different inbox. Lead capture on Your Page creates a card the moment someone submits the form — quote from the truck with photos already on the card. Crew uploads via invite shared albums add fresh shots before you finalize line items. Automations can Tell you in the app when a quote request arrives while you are on site.

Work orders and invoices continue the same thread. When they approve, advance the card to Booked without retyping the address or re-uploading photos. Invoice with the same marked shots or a share link embedded in the bill. Online payment options depend on your plan — see Plans and plans and storage overview.

Your Page and Local Pages bring the next job; estimates close the one in front of you. Publish real photos on your public URL, list locally when you want nearby hires, and send every new ask through the same quote flow. Read how it works for the full loop and features for every tool in the workspace.

Need a checklist? Open getting started in Help, or configure Your Page albums and FWD so public galleries and formal quotes stay aligned. One workspace means the payment trail matches the photos you took on day one.

Proof, links, and pipeline on one job

How to quote, book, and invoice with photos

  1. Capture proof on the job

    Shoot the site and organize shots in the address album before you write line items.

  2. Attach photos to the estimate

    Add marked photos or sketches so the client approves visible scope.

  3. Send and track on the pipeline

    Move the card to Quoted; follow up from the same job without a second CRM entry.

  4. Mark Won and run the work order

    When they say yes, move the card to Won — photos and notes stay on the card.

  5. Invoice from the same card

    Bill with the same attachments and close the loop when payment lands.

Frequently asked questions

    Yes. Photos, annotated shots, sketches, and share links can ride the quote and bill from the job card.

  • Does the estimate stay on the same lead as the pipeline card?

    Yes. Request, album, quote, work order, and invoice share one job record.
