Overview

You can use Online Estimates with the Field Mobile App to send estimates to customers for e-signature. This contactless experience allows the customer to review and sign an estimate from their own device, without needing to share yours.

Note: If you want to send a form to a customer for e-signature, you'll need to use Visit Assistant. For how to do this, see Use the contactless experience for forms in the ServiceTitan Field Mobile App.

Use cases

Residential Service and Replacement and Commercial Service and Replacement:

  • A technician presents multiple estimates for a large commercial repair. The technician selects all relevant estimates in Presentation mode and sends them together in a single email so the property manager can review and approve at their convenience.

  • After an estimate is signed, the technician selects Perform Work Later because the repair is scheduled for the following week. The job remains open, and office staff handle any follow-up scheduling.

Residential Construction:

  • A technician completing a pre-installation walkthrough needs the homeowner to sign off on a proposal. The technician sends the estimate through email, and the homeowner signs from their own device before the technician leaves the property.

Commercial Construction:

  • A project manager needs a general contractor to sign off on an estimate for additional scope. The technician sends the estimate remotely through email.

  • After all estimates are signed, the technician selects Perform Work Now to immediately begin the next phase of work. The job workflow continues without delays from waiting for in-person signatures.
