Write an estimate on the tailgate, turn it into an invoice when the job's done, and get paid. Made for electricians, field techs, handymen, and small contractors.

From the job site to paid, in three steps

1Estimate on site

Build a quote on your phone with your logo and saved items, add job photos, and let the customer approve and sign it on their own phone.

2One tap to invoice

Once the estimate is approved, turn it into an invoice with one tap, with no retyping. On Pro, parts you pick from inventory come off your stock automatically.

3Get paid faster

Every invoice gets a Pay link and a QR code on the PDF. You get an email when the customer opens it and another when it's paid.

Fast on a phone

Big buttons, saved items and rates, clients on file. Build an invoice in under a minute, right from the truck.

Clean PDFs

Your logo, license number, and payment instructions on every page. Looks like you mean business.

Keep your numbers

Moving from another app? Pick up your invoice numbering where you left off and import clients, items, and invoices from CSV.

Estimate → invoice

One tap converts an approved estimate into an invoice. Track draft, sent, viewed, partially paid, paid, and overdue at a glance.

Send & know they saw it

Email invoices and estimates from the app with a View & pay button, or text a link. Get an alert when your customer opens it.

Signed, with photos Pro

Customers approve and sign estimates on their phone. Add before/after photos and your own signature to any document.

Get paid online

Add your PayPal email or paypal.me link and unpaid invoices get a Pay with PayPal button for the balance due, on the invoice page and in the email. PunchDocs takes no cut.

Estimates with your markup

Enter material cost and your markup (35% to start) and the sell price is worked out; customers never see your cost. Save labor rates and fill labor lines from a quick takeoff. Pro adds assemblies like a "Cat6 drop" and pasting or uploading a supplier quote.

Inventory Pro

Track parts and materials by the foot, each, box, or roll. Pick them on an invoice and stock comes off automatically, and goes back if you void or delete it. Low-stock alerts tell you when to reorder.

Reports & compare tools

See invoiced and received by month, by client, and by item, with CSV export. Compare a bid against the contract, a change order, or a PO against an invoice side by side.

Know what you made Pro

Log expenses with a photo of the receipt, track mileage at the IRS rate, see profit & loss for any month, quarter, or year, and hand your tax preparer one export at tax time. No bank syncing needed.

How it works

  1. Set up once. Add your business name, logo, license #, tax rate, and how you get paid.
  2. Write it on site. Pick the client, tap in saved items, and let PunchDocs do the math: tax, discounts, decimal hours.
  3. Send it from the app. Email it to one or more people with a View & pay button, or text a link. You get an email the moment they open it, and with Pro they can approve and sign estimates right on their phone.
  4. Get paid. Clients can pay online with your PayPal link (PayPal's checkout also takes cards), or you record checks, deposits, and partial payments as they come in; Pro sends automatic payment reminders so you don't have to chase.

Made for how trades work

  • Job site, PO / job # on every document
  • Per-line taxable flag (materials vs. labor)
  • Percent or dollar discounts
  • Separate invoice and estimate numbering
  • Duplicate a past job in one tap
  • Deposit requests (amount or %) and partial payments with a running balance
  • Automatic receipts when an invoice is paid, with your review link
  • Rename the invoice and estimate titles and columns, and pick your date format

Questions

Do I need to install an app?

No. PunchDocs runs in any phone, tablet, or computer browser. On a phone, use "Add to Home Screen" to open it like an app.

Can I bring my invoices from another app?

Yes. Coming from Invoice Simple, use Coming from Invoice Simple? and drop in your "Export Invoice Summary" file: no column matching, and your numbering picks up where you left off. From other apps, export a CSV, upload it, and match the columns.

What does it cost?

Free gets you 1 new invoice every 30 days (the next one opens up 30 days after your last), with unlimited estimates. Invoices you bring over from Invoice Simple never count. Pro is $9.99 a month for unlimited invoices, and every new account gets Pro free for 14 days, no card required. Pay with PayPal, Venmo, or a debit or credit card, and cancel yourself any time; Pro stays on until the end of the month you paid for.

What does it cost when my clients pay online?

Nothing from PunchDocs. Add your PayPal email or paypal.me link in Settings and your invoices get a Pay with PayPal button; the money goes straight to your PayPal account and only PayPal's own fee applies. PayPal's checkout also takes cards. Details

Who is PunchDocs for?

Electricians, low-voltage and field techs, handymen, and small contractors who want to send a professional invoice without desk time.

Is PunchDocs the same as Patchdocs?

No. PunchDocs (punchdocs.com) is an estimate and invoice app for contractors and field techs, built by J&J Technical Services in Texas. Patchdocs is an unrelated network-documentation product from a different company. The two aren't affiliated.

Who's behind it?

PunchDocs is built by J&J Technical Services, a Central Texas low-voltage contractor. We built it for our own jobs first.
