Plumbing estimates on site.
Approved before you load the van.
Scope is plumbing estimating and invoicing software for service work and installs. Price emergency calls, repipes, and water heaters on site, get approval, and invoice from the same quote.
A no-hot-water call, hour by hour
Tue 16 SepEmergency plumbing lives or dies on speed. Here is the actual sequence, with the app doing the part you'd otherwise redo at 9pm.
- 6:52
Call comes in: no hot water
You take the address on the phone and it becomes a client before you start the truck.
Client + job created - 7:40
Diagnosis at the tank
Corroded 12-year-old unit. Replace, not repair — and the customer wants a number now.
Photos attached to job - 7:58
Quote built at the shut-off valve
Tap saved items: after-hours call, 50-gal heater, install labor, fittings. She signs on your phone.
Estimate approved — $1,840 - 9:15
Supply house run
Photograph the receipt at the counter and attach it to the job, so it isn't riding on your dashboard until billing day.
Receipt attached to job - 2:30
Hot water back on
Create the invoice from the approved estimate and add $85 of extra fittings as a line. No retyping.
Invoice created — $1,925 ($1,840 + $85) - 2:41
Check in hand, logged in the driveway
Record the payment and the invoice shows paid. Mark the job complete; the heater stays in the client's history for the next call.
Payment recorded · job completed
A scribbled number on an invoice pad, a forgotten $310 in fittings, and an hour of retyping after dinner.
What it replaces on the van
What plumbers carry today, and what the job record does instead.
Carbon-copy invoice pad with the quote scrawled on the back.
A signed, timestamped estimate the customer already has on their phone.
Supply house receipts wedged above the visor until billing day.
Receipt photos attached to the job the minute you buy the parts.
A mental list of which emergency calls you never billed.
Open any job and see its estimate and invoice — or that it doesn't have one yet.
The forty things people call a plumber for.
Saved once with your rates, so a quote in a wet basement takes four taps instead of four minutes of typing.
Example rates — you set your own. Saved items mean the estimate on the doorstep matches the invoice at the end.
What plumbers ask before they switch
Can I charge emergency rates?
Keep an after-hours service call as its own saved item and drop it in when the call warrants it.
How do deposits on a repipe work?
Record the deposit as a payment on the invoice; the balance due updates automatically.
Do parts receipts stay with the job?
Photograph the receipt and attach it to that job. Add the parts to the estimate or invoice as line items.
What if I have a helper?
Scope is built for independent contractors. There are no team accounts or dispatch features yet.
