THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A WORKDAY EASIER
Explore the tools for the person selling the job, the office planning it and the crew on site. Open a chapter for the details.
Keep the homeowner’s house, your lighting design and your pricing together while you build the estimate.
Set a dimension you know on the house photo, then trace the runs. Measurement source and confidence help you review the scope before committing.
Use your rate card, kits, premiums and add-ons. Price rooflines, tree wraps, ground runs and jumps alongside wreaths, garland and controllers.
Send a photo-request link so the homeowner can supply the image you need for a first estimate.
Use the lighting runs to build the job’s material requirements instead of counting the same design again.
Create a quote PDF and share a private signing link. Permanent, seasonal and multi-year lease agreements support the work you sell.
Open full-size screenshot ↗Photo measurements are estimates. Verify dimensions on site before installation.
Compare the plans for this workflow ↗See quote engagement beside the follow-up history, so you have context when you pick up the phone.
TRY THE ENGAGEMENT SIGNAL · ILLUSTRATION
Move the slider to explore. This illustration uses GlowBid’s engagement rules, not customer data.
Open count and last-viewed time feed the Not opened, Cold, Warm and Hot labels. Use the signal to prioritize a conversation; it is not a promise that the homeowner will buy.
The board follows the quote from draft through sent and follow-up stages into acceptance and the job. See what has happened and what needs attention.
Choose text, email or both for automatic follow-ups. The default sequence is day 3, 7 and 14; configure it in Settings. Sending depends on your setup, customer eligibility and plan allowance.
Put your quote-request link on your website or in a campaign, giving prospective customers a direct route into your quoting workflow.
Review the customer’s quotes, jobs, invoices and payments together. Record why a quote was lost and bring seasonal renewals back into view.
Open full-size screenshot ↗Move from a sold scope to a booked visit with the right crew and the time the work needs.
Use the job board to review progress and the calendar to plan dates and time windows. Keep installation, takedown and service visits organized.
Choose a visit duration, from half a day to multiple days. The booking calendar accounts for job spans and crew capacity.
Create crews with a lead and members, then assign the visit. The people doing the work can see their assigned jobs on their phones.
Booking, reminder and on-the-way messages support the visit when job messaging is configured. The office can see the job’s progress and checklist evidence.
Open full-size screenshot ↗Give installers the scope they need and a repeatable way to document the work, without handing them the office workspace.
The installer schedule leads into the visit, with the design, scope and material information for the job.
Edit checklist wording, add and reorder steps, and name required photo slots in Settings. Use different procedures for installation, takedown and service.
Technicians work through checklist sections and attach the requested photos. The office can review progress and evidence on the job record.
The crew works from its assigned visits while the office manages the broader schedule. Checklists and job photos stay attached to the work.
Ask the homeowner to confirm the finished work. Completion sign-off is separate from accepting the original quote.
Open full-size screenshot ↗The installer workspace and job management are included in Ultimate. Screens shown use fictional sample records.
Compare the plans for this workflow ↗From quote acceptance to the remaining balance, keep the documents and payment record with the customer.
Connect your own Stripe account so the homeowner can pay through the quote’s signing flow.
Create the invoice, include the work and any extras, and give the customer a private link to pay.
Request a dollar amount or a share of the balance on an open invoice. Name the request, then copy or email its payment link.
Keep receipts, payment requests and the invoice balance in the customer record. Job-linked closeout and field sign-off are part of Ultimate.
Online payment requires your Stripe setup and an internet connection. Processing and platform fees apply; see pricing.
Compare the plans for this workflow ↗The relationship continues after installation, with review requests and the records you need when the season comes around again.
Add your Google review link. Eligible completed installation, re-installation and service visits can trigger a request the following morning, after the homeowner has had an evening with the lights.
The request uses an available eligible text or email channel. Text delivery depends on job messaging, the customer’s opt-out status and your allowance. Takedowns do not trigger a review ask.
Ultimate includes leased-lights records and season invoicing. Pro and Ultimate include pipeline renewals and re-booking workflows.
Keep the previous quote, installation details and history available for the next conversation instead of starting with an empty customer file.
04 / YOUR KIND OF LIGHTING WORK
Two kinds of lighting work. The same clear place to build the scope and organize what comes next.
Build the scope around roofline runs, your installation rates and the extras the job needs.
Create a seasonal lighting scope and keep the installation details with the customer and quote.
05 / FROM THE INSTALLATION SIDE
GlowBid was founded by Jack Seguin, an Ottawa lighting installer. The focus is practical: show the design, build the quote and keep the work organized.
