Built for the truck, not the back office.
Dave is the easy estimating, invoicing, and project organization app for project-based trades. Built for owner-operators and small crews running jobs from the truck.
Dave's perfect for.
If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place.
The solo operator
You quote it, sell it, build it, and bill it. Dave keeps your paperwork as organized as your truck, so you can spend less time on admin and more time earning.
Small crews (1 to 10)
Big enough to be busy, small enough to care. Keep your team on the same page with easy scheduling and job details all in one place. No more "I didn't get that text."
Specialty trades
Siding, roofing, decking, and fencing pros. Build custom estimate templates for your standard jobs and fire off professional quotes from the driveway in minutes.
Remodelers and smaller GCs
Kitchens, baths, and basements. Itemize costs, add markups, and track margins so you always know your numbers before you start.

We'd rather say it up front than waste your time. If this sounds like you, Dave probably isn't the right fit.
High-volume home services
Pressure washing, lawn routes, pest control, cleaning services, mobile detailing, or handyman shops knocking out 10 plus short stops a day. You need route density and a dispatch board. Dave isn't built for that.
Enterprise GCs and large operations
50 plus person crews with a dedicated estimator, project manager, and back office on staff. You're better off with a full suite like Procore or ServiceTitan.
Accountants and office-only teams
Shopping for a general ledger? Use QuickBooks. Dave syncs to it, but it isn't trying to replace it.

"The text alert definitely helps me get paid faster than email."
"It has streamlined my landscaping business, making invoicing and quoting much faster and easier. My clients have even commented on how professional and convenient it is. Highly recommend it to any contractor looking to simplify their workflow."
"What we like most is how quickly we can create a clear, accurate estimate. Once the client accepts it, turning that estimate into an invoice is simple and saves us from re-entering the same information twice."
"It's been a game changer for my business. It's extremely easy to use, straightforward, and doesn't overcomplicate things like a lot of other software does. It's clearly built with small businesses in mind, and it just works the way you need it to."
"Having everything organized in one place instead of juggling emails and papers has been a big help. It's simple to use and really keeps me on top of things."
"I was using Housecall Pro for building estimates, but Dave is so much more flexible!!"
