The Proposal-First Alternative to Jobber

Jobber is a solid field-service platform for scheduling, dispatch, and invoicing. Takeoff Convert is built for the part Jobber treats as an afterthought: turning a described job or takeoff into a detailed, itemized proposal with a full scope narrative your client can e-sign, not a one-line quote. From $39/month.

See It In Action

From a described job (or a takeoff dump) to a signed proposal, in three steps

1

Describe the job or upload the takeoff

Say it like you'd say it to your crew, or upload the PDF, Excel, or CSV export from Bluebeam. Every row becomes a priced line item.

2

AI drafts the itemized proposal

Scope, quantities, and pricing from your own price book with your markup on a visible slider. A Win Score tells you if the total is competitive for your area.
