The Tile Contractor Invoice App Built for Precision Estimates

Why Tile & Stone Contractors Need a Dedicated Field Invoicing App

Tile contractors operate on precise surface measurements, specialty substrate preparations, and expensive porcelain/marble materials that require clear itemization.

• Per-square-foot floor & wall measurements: Calculate labor by exact square footage while factoring in 10–15% material waste allowances.
• Substrate prep & waterproofing line items: Itemize uncoupling membranes, waterproof mud pans, and niche installations separately from tile setting.
• Progress milestone billing for full bathrooms: Split major remodels into deposit, prep complete, and final tile setting payment milestones.
• Basement and bathroom dead zones: Cell reception is notoriously weak inside tiled interior bathrooms and basement ensuites. Work 100% offline.

How Tile Setters 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.
