Quoting from a photo on site

With Tradify and ServiceM8 you still need to type out the quote or use templates. AgentBuddy lets you snap a photo of the switchboard or the job and it writes a professional quote on the spot. You just review and send , no typing required.

Invoicing and chasing payments

No extra software to learn
