Estimating

Multiple locations and repeat cleanings

Accounts and locations

For a customer with several buildings (fire stations, branches, schools), make one account and put each building under it as a location.

  1. Open the main customer (for example City Fire Dept).
  2. Under Locations, tap Add a New Location (it copies the account's type, rates, billing and terms) or Add an Existing Customer as a Location.
  3. Each location is a full customer of its own: address, entry codes, scans, photos, stairs and seating. It shows Part of City Fire Dept at the top.

Swipe a location to take it off the account. On the office web page, Edit Customer → Location of an account does the same.

On the office web page

An account's page has a Locations folder at the top: a card for each building with its address, entry notes and contact. Click one to open it, or + Add a location to add a new building under the account. In the main customer list, locations are tucked under their account ("Account · 3 locations"); a search finds them directly.

Archive a location

When you stop serving a building (a house the property manager no longer manages, a closed station), archive it instead of deleting it. Its scans, photos and estimates are kept, but it drops out of the account's list, the main list and combined estimates.

One estimate for every location

Start the estimate from the account. Choose Rooms lists every location's rooms, grouped by location, and lines read Station 3 · Apparatus Bay. Each service's square footage adds up across all the locations, so the whole account gets the bigger-job rate.

The Locations section on the estimate shows each location's square footage and share of the price, and how the proposal goes out:

Repeat cleanings

Each rate set chooses how service-plan visits that repeat during the year earn a break (Settings → rates → Repeat Cleanings, in the app or on the web):

Repeat-cleaning breaks stack with multi-location volume: a quarterly plan across six stations is priced on all six stations' square footage, four times a year. The plan section shows the discount or the yearly volume next to each visit, and the proposal says so too.
