Voice becomes a reviewable draft.
Voice becomes a reviewable draft.
Built for the trades that run on their trucks.
Field work does not stop the paperwork
Krue is built around the administrative load contractors describe.
Alarm goes off. Coffee. Check today's jobs.
First job site. Customer wants changes.
"Can you add outlets here too?"
Driving to the next job. Phone buzzes.
Another estimate request. Add it to the pile.
Lunch? Maybe. If you're lucky.
Crawling through an attic, mentally calculating materials.
Finally home. Now the real work starts.
Paperwork.
Kitchen table. Spreadsheets. Invoices. Quotes.
The family's watching TV without you.
Send the estimate. Hope you remembered everything.
Sound familiar?
Capture details on site, then review the draft when you are safely parked instead of rebuilding the job from memory at night.
How It Works
Three stages, each with a clear review point.
Talk Through the Job
Walk the site and describe the scope out loud. Krue captures the details for you to verify.
Krue Drafts, You Approve
Krue proposes itemized scope and uses your saved pricing where available. You review every line before sending.
Send & Get Paid
Send the approved estimate. Clients can review it online and, when enabled, use available card-payment options.
Krue suggests. You decide.
Krue respects your judgment, and your prices.
Your price book, your rates

Review what each job currently shows.
Busy isn't the same as profitable. Krue compares recorded hours and materials with collected revenue. Complete inputs are required for a meaningful result.
Recorded costs roll up by job
Tracked hours and received materials can post against the job once your team records them.
Review the calculated margin
Compare collected revenue with the labor and material costs currently recorded for the job.
Money-losers get flagged
Krue surfaces the jobs that quietly lost money, so you re-price the next one before you bid it.

Estimating & Pricing
Should You Charge for Estimates? How to Decide (and How to Do It Without Losing Jobs)
Charge for estimates when the job demands a custom design, a site visit, or more than an hour of your time. Keep estimates free when you can price the work from the truck or from photos, and the job is small enough that the risk of a wasted trip is low. The decision is not about philosophy.
