The Locksmith Invoice App Built for Field Work

Why Locksmith & Security Pros Need a Dedicated Field Invoicing App

Locksmiths work fast, day and night, handling urgent lockouts and security hardware upgrades from a mobile workshop van.

• Emergency night and weekend service callouts: Lockouts at 2 AM require rapid flat-rate emergency billing without fiddling with complex accounting software.
• Per-cylinder and per-key itemization: Rekeying involves counting cylinders, master keys, and duplicate keys. Quickly tap items to tally exact totals.
• Immediate digital proof for homeowners and businesses: Commercial property managers and locked-out drivers need immediate PDF receipts for reimbursement or recordkeeping.
• Apartment stairwells and remote vehicle lockout deadzones: Locksmithing often happens in subterranean parking or apartment hallways. 100% offline mode ensures continuous operation.

How Locksmiths Create an Invoice in Under 2 Minutes

The entire workflow is built for hands covered in dust, grease, or paint — right from the front seat of your van:

1. Step 1 — Select or Add Customer: Tap customer name or enter their job address once. The app saves it for all future visits.
2. Step 2 — Pick Saved Materials & Labor Rates: Add trade-specific items with one tap. Quantity, unit prices, and tax calculate automatically.
3. Step 3 — Convert Estimate to Invoice in 1 Tap: Already sent a pre-job quote? Hit "Convert to Invoice" when the work is approved. No duplicate entry.
4. Step 4 — Send PDF & Get Paid: Export a branded, high-resolution PDF and share directly via WhatsApp, SMS, or email before packing up your tools.
