What’s new in JobFigure
Improvements ship most weeks, and most of them were asked for by the contractors who use JobFigure. Updates arrive on their own; there is nothing to download from an app store.
Win rate that matches your bid log
- Win rate now counts every bid you send, like the “% awarded” on an estimating log, and shows it as “10 of 280” so you can see the math.
- Win rate by customer only shows customers you’ve sent at least 3 bids, so one lucky job doesn’t look like 100%.
- The TV dashboard puts the jobs with crew on site first, then the ones with the latest hours, expenses, or log entries. New jobs no longer hide behind old ones.
Payroll, invoices, and bid-log imports
- Payroll hours export: each person’s hours for the pay period, by pay type, as a spreadsheet for your payroll service or to enter by hand.
- Printable invoices with your logo, retainage held, a contract summary with change orders, and your payment terms.
- Missed clock-out alerts: a shift left open past 12 hours shows up for the office to fix before payroll, and the crew member gets a nudge (in Spanish too).
- Importing a Smartsheet or Excel bid log now brings in the scope: quantity and price columns become line items, plus lump sums and alternates.
Quotes, daily logs, Spanish, and the TV dashboard
- Online quote approval: send a private link; your customer types their name and taps Accept, and the bid turns Won.
- Daily log and photos: the crew writes what got done, any problems, and the weather, with photos from their phone.
- Spanish crew mode: clock, job, hours, and daily log screens in Spanish, chosen on each phone.
- Monday email: last week in one email for the owner — hours, costs, wins, jobs to watch, and what’s due.
- TV dashboard: pair any TV with a code. Office view shows dollars; shop view never does.
- Calendar feed for Outlook and Microsoft 365, Google Calendar, and iPhone.
- Imports rebuilt: any size file, you check the column matches before anything saves, and duplicates are skipped.
Paid plans open
- Solo, Crew, and Shop plans with a 14-day free trial.
- jobfigure.net launched with guides, calculators, and pages for each trade.
