How ScanPay’s Estimates Feature Helps Contractors Win More Jobs
Published on
January 17, 2025

In today’s competitive market, winning jobs requires more than just excellent service—it demands professionalism, speed, and accuracy. That’s why ScanPay’s new Estimates feature is a game-changer for home service professionals and contractors. Whether you’re a small business owner or a general contractor, this tool is designed to simplify the estimating process, improve decision-making, and ultimately help you secure more work.

Why Do You Need Cost Estimates?

A detailed cost estimate is an essential tool for home service businesses. It provides customers with a clear understanding of the service process, required parts, and associated costs. Here’s why sending professional estimates can make all the difference:

  • Transparency: Comprehensive cost estimates eliminate ambiguity and misunderstandings during service delivery.
  • Customer Empowerment: Clear estimates enable customers to make informed decisions quickly.
  • Efficiency: Professional estimates save time and establish trust, boosting your chances of winning the job.

By using ScanPay’s estimate software, you can achieve all this while maintaining speed and consistency in your operations.

Features of ScanPay’s Estimates Tool

ScanPay’s estimates feature equips contractors with the tools to create, manage, and share precise quotes effortlessly. Here are some of its key features:

1. Simple and Professional Estimate Creation

Creating an estimate has never been easier. With ScanPay, you can:

  • Add detailed services, discounts, service fees, and more.
  • Customize terms and conditions to align with your business policies.
  • Set an expiry date for your estimates.
  • Assign estimates to specific sales reps for streamlined management.
  • Include notes, attachments, and relevant sources to enhance clarity.

2. Seamless Sharing Options

Once the estimate is ready, sharing it with your customers is simple and versatile. Send estimates via text, email, or shareable links to ensure they reach your clients promptly. This ease of communication speeds up decision-making, as customers can instantly review and respond.

3. Digital Approval and Status Updates

ScanPay’s estimates tool enables customers to approve or reject estimates digitally. No need for paper-based processes or manual follow-ups—everything is streamlined through the app. You can also manually update the status of an estimate for complete flexibility.

4. Affordable and Flexible Pricing

At just $9.99 per month per account, ScanPay’s estimate software is one of the most affordable options in the market. Unlike other field service management tools that charge a premium subscription fee per user, ScanPay’s pricing includes:

  • Access for the account owner and all team members across all owned teams.
  • No additional charges for team members using the estimates feature.

If your business doesn’t require estimates, you can still use ScanPay’s invoicing and job management features without any subscription fee. Pay only 2.5% per transaction for payment collection—no hardware, no contracts, and no hidden costs.

How Does the Estimates Feature Work?

An estimate is a simple document that outlines the total cost for a specific service. With ScanPay, you can:

  1. Create Accurate Quotes: Include all necessary details such as labor, materials, and discounts to ensure transparency.
  2. Customize Terms: Tailor your terms and conditions to fit the unique needs of your business.
  3. Share and Track: Send estimates to your customers and track their approval status in real time.
  4. Update Statuses: Easily manage the status of estimates (Approved, Rejected, Expired) to keep your workflow organized.

Benefits of Using ScanPay’s Estimates Tool

1. Boost Professionalism

Presenting a well-crafted, professional estimate leaves a lasting impression on your clients. It showcases your attention to detail and commitment to transparency.

2. Save Time and Reduce Errors

Manual processes can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes. With ScanPay’s digital tool, you can automate calculations, reduce errors, and save valuable time.

3. Increase Job Wins

By providing clear and detailed estimates quickly, you improve your chances of winning more jobs. Customers are more likely to choose a contractor who communicates effectively and professionally.

4. Affordable for All Business Sizes

At just $9.99 per month per account, ScanPay’s estimates feature is accessible to both small contractors and larger teams. You get premium functionality without breaking the bank.
