Getting set up takes 2 minutes

📩

Sign up in seconds

Go to usefieldforge.com/app, enter your cell number, and confirm the code we text you. No approvals, no waiting.

🏢

Set up your company

Right after you verify your number, fill in your company name, hourly rate, tax rate, and address. Takes about a minute.

📊

Get your parts sheet

FieldForge creates a Google Sheet for your company, pre-loaded with 100 parts for your trade. Edit prices anytime in Google Sheets.

👷

Add your technicians

Open Team and add each tech's name and cell number. That's it. They sign in with a code texted to their phone.

The daily flow, under 60 seconds

1

Tech finishes the job

Job is done. Before leaving the driveway, the tech opens FieldForge and holds the mic button.

2

Describe the job out loud

Something like: "Johnson on Oak Street, replaced the capacitor and contactor, cleaned the coils, 2.5 hours." That's it. Equipment details (brand, model, and serial number) are captured automatically if you mention them.

3

FieldForge builds the invoice

The AI transcribes the voice note, extracts the job details, matches parts to your price sheet, calculates labor at your hourly rate, and builds a branded PDF, automatically.

4

Review, edit & confirm

The draft invoice appears on screen instantly, nothing reaches the customer yet. Tap Edit to fix anything (customer details, parts, labor, or notes) then tap Send Invoice. Nothing goes out until you send it.

5

Customer gets the invoice

The invoice is delivered to the customer by SMS, email, or both. You pick the default in Settings, with a Pay by card button built right in.

6

Get paid, automatically

Customers tap Pay by card on the invoice, the job marks itself Paid automatically and the money lands in your bank. Taking cash or a check instead? Tap Mark Paid on the job. (One-time: connect card payments in Settings to link your bank.)

📝 Quoting a job first? Send an estimate

For bigger jobs, flip the toggle to Estimate and send. Your customer gets a branded price estimate they approve with one tap, no charge. The moment they approve, you're notified; tap Convert to Invoice to bill it once the work's done.

What the FieldForge actually does

Here's what happens in the ~10 seconds between your voice note and the finished invoice.

🎙️

Transcribes audio

Your voice note is sent to Groq Whisper, one of the most accurate speech-to-text models available. It handles accents, background noise, and trade terminology.

🧠

Extracts structured data

An AI model reads the transcript and pulls out: customer name, address, parts used, quantities, labor time, and customer phone number.

📋

Matches your price sheet

"Wax seal" and "wax ring" both map to the right part. Every part mentioned is matched against your Google Sheets price list, including common aliases.

🧮

Calculates totals

Parts total + labor hours × your hourly rate + tax = invoice total. All calculated with your actual rates, not estimates.

📄

Generates PDF

A professional branded PDF invoice is generated with your company name, logo (if uploaded), and all job details. Looks like you paid a designer to make it.

📱

Sends SMS

The invoice and payment link are texted (or emailed) to the customer the moment you tap Send Invoice.
