Getting Started

Most operations workflows start with an accepted estimate. When a customer signs a proposal, CleanEstimate Pro automatically creates a job. From there you schedule it, assign a crew, complete the work, and send an invoice.

  1. A customer accepts an estimate.
  2. A job is created automatically.
  3. You schedule the job and assign a crew.
  4. The crew completes the work and updates the status.
  5. An invoice is generated and sent to the customer.
  6. The customer pays online through Stripe.
