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.
