Giving an estimate is one of the very first steps for any job (or potential job), and quality estimating can sometimes mean the difference between a profit and a loss. But, as anyone who has had to do estimates can agree, the estimating process can often times be a time (and gas) consuming endeavor. If only there were a tool that could make this process faster, easier, and more precise (I know, this sounds like an infomercial).

With the innovative SaaSphalt Mapping Tool, estimates can be done quickly and easily from the comfort of your home or office.  This tool takes the information from the customer’s address and pulls up a satellite image of the customer’s property. From here, you can measure any number of driveways/parking lots/etc… that might belong to the customer, count paint items, set fill colors and/or place labels to coordinate multi-section jobs, and even save the image in that customer’s Pictures record.

For a more in-depth look at using the mapping tool, see Building Your SaaSphalt > Adding Measurements to a Customer’s Account in the Getting Started Section of the Help Center.
