Built for Trade Contractors

AI Features Built for the Trades

Every feature in FieldBolt is designed for how trade contractors actually work — on job sites, in trucks, and between calls. No enterprise bloat. No learning curve.

AI Bid Estimation

Stop spending hours on spreadsheets and guesswork. FieldBolt's AI analyzes your job description, trade type, and local market data to produce a complete bid in under 60 seconds. Every estimate includes a detailed material list, labor breakdown, and profit-optimized markup.

Our AI is trained on thousands of real trade jobs across 24 trade categories — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, general contracting, handyman, roofing, painting, landscaping, flooring, drywall, carpentry, concrete, fencing, tile, solar, appliance repair, garage door, pool service, tree service, gutters, pest control, pressure washing, window cleaning, and locksmith. It understands the difference between a residential water heater swap and a commercial boiler install, and prices accordingly.

  • Full material list with local supplier pricing
  • Labor hours estimated by trade and complexity
  • Profit margin optimization built in
  • Professional PDF bid ready to send to customers
  • Learns from your history to improve accuracy over time

Bid Quality Auditor

Before you send a bid, FieldBolt's AI auditor reviews every line item for common mistakes that eat into your profit. Missing permit fees, underpriced labor, forgotten materials — the auditor catches what you might miss when you're rushing between jobs.

Contractors who use the Bid Auditor report an average of $400-$800 in recovered revenue per bid. Over a month, that adds up to thousands in margin you'd otherwise lose.

  • Automatic detection of missing line items
  • Labor rate comparison against local market data
  • Scope gap analysis to prevent change order disputes
  • One-click fix suggestions for every issue found

AI Negotiation Coach

When a customer pushes back on your price, you need a strategy — not a discount. FieldBolt's Negotiation Coach analyzes your bid, the customer's counter, and your margin to suggest specific tactics that protect your bottom line.

Whether it's offering value-adds, adjusting scope, or presenting payment terms, the Coach gives you confidence at the negotiation table. No more gut-feel discounting that kills your profit.

  • Counter-offer strategies that protect your margin
  • Value-add suggestions to justify your price
  • Scope adjustment recommendations
  • Payment term alternatives for price-sensitive customers
  • Win rate tracking to refine your approach

Route Planner with Conflict Detection

Stop losing an hour of billable work to driving back and forth across town. FieldBolt's Route Planner shows every crew's daily route on a single screen — with numbered stops, start and end times, and a one-tap Google Maps link with turn-by-turn directions for the whole day.

Pick any date or flip to This Week, Next Week, This Month, or Next Month to see your entire schedule at a glance. Every route shows an optimization status: green when the schedule is tight, amber when there's a fixable gap, red when stops overlap or a crew member is double-booked. The conflict detector instantly flags every stop where the same crew member is assigned to two overlapping jobs — no more awkward phone calls from a frustrated customer waiting on-site.

  • Day, week & month route views with per-day stop lists
  • Auto-sequence — recomputes start times back-to-back from 8 AM
  • ↑↓ reorder stops with one tap (times update automatically)
  • Optimization status per day: Optimized · Could improve · Needs optimization
  • Crew conflict detection — flags double-booked techs with overlap duration
  • Quick-schedule chips: Today · Tomorrow · +1 week · +1 month
  • One-tap Google Maps link for the whole day's route

Job Scheduling & Reschedule

Managing a crew with a whiteboard and group texts is chaos. Reschedule any job in two taps — from the jobs list, the route planner, or the job detail page — with quick chips for Today, Tomorrow, +1 week, +2 weeks, and +1 month. No digging through a calendar to pick a date.

Assign crew members by skill, track availability, and see every scheduled job on a monthly calendar. Your master electrician gets the panel upgrades. Your apprentice gets the outlet installs. Everyone stays busy, nobody's overbooked.

  • Quick-reschedule dialog with date & time chips
  • Skill-based crew matching for every job
  • Monthly calendar view with colored job status
  • Estimated jobs auto-promote to scheduled when you set a date
  • Crew availability tracking with days off and vacations

Live Job Profitability Tracking

Know your margin before the job wraps — not three weeks later when you're reconciling invoices. FieldBolt tracks material costs, labor hours, and change orders in real time against your original bid.

When a job starts going sideways, you'll know immediately. The profitability dashboard highlights jobs that are trending over budget so you can make adjustments before it's too late.

  • Real-time margin tracking per job
  • Material cost vs. bid comparison
  • Labor hour tracking against estimates
  • Change order impact analysis
  • Alerts when jobs trend over budget

Local Store Material Pricing

Your bids should reflect what materials actually cost at the stores your crew shops at — not national averages. FieldBolt pulls pricing from local suppliers to ensure your material estimates are accurate and competitive.

When copper prices spike or PVC costs drop, your bids automatically reflect current market conditions. No more winning a job with last month's prices and eating the difference.

  • Local supplier price integration
  • Automatic price updates as markets change
  • Material cost comparison across suppliers
  • Preferred vendor support

One-Click Invoicing

When a job is done, converting it to a professional invoice should take seconds — not an evening at the kitchen table. FieldBolt generates invoices directly from completed jobs with a single tap, including all line items, labor, and materials.

Track payment status, send automated reminders, and keep your cash flow healthy. Contractors using FieldBolt invoicing report getting paid an average of 8 days faster than before.

  • One-tap invoice generation from completed jobs
  • Professional branded invoice templates
  • Automatic payment reminders
  • Payment status tracking
  • Exportable records for tax season

Business Analytics Dashboard

See your business clearly with dashboards built for trade contractors. Track your win rate, average job value, revenue by trade type, crew utilization, and monthly trends — all in one place.

FieldBolt analytics help you make smarter decisions about where to focus your marketing, which job types are most profitable, and when to hire your next crew member.

  • Bid win rate tracking and trends
  • Revenue breakdown by trade and job type
  • Crew utilization and productivity metrics
  • Monthly and quarterly trend reports
  • Exportable reports for accountants

Customer Relationship Management

Keep all your customer information, job history, and communication in one place. FieldBolt's built-in CRM means you never lose a customer's details or forget a follow-up.

When a repeat customer calls, you'll have their full history at your fingertips — past jobs, bids, invoices, notes, and property details. That level of professionalism wins referrals.

  • Complete customer profiles with job history
  • Property and site details tracking
  • Follow-up reminders and notes
  • CSV import for existing customer lists
  • Quick search across all customer data
