Estimates, invoicing, photos, the job pipeline, offline mode. One app, one price, nothing locked behind an upgrade.
Feature 01
Sandblasting estimates
Built-in media and production rates, so you stop doing the math in your head.
Pick the job type, enter the surface area, set the media and coating condition. BlastBid works out media pounds, labor hours, travel, and markup live while you type. The math is based on real consumption and production rates, not guesswork pulled from a ten-year-old spreadsheet.
Four coating conditions, from light surface coating all the way to lead paint
Four surface complexities, from flat panels to intricate detail work
Live recalculation — there's no "calculate" button to hit
Job presets for auto, residential, marine, commercial, and industrial work
Feature 02
Invoicing and payments
One tap turns the job into an invoice.
When the job's done, one tap turns it into an invoice. Line items carry over from the estimate, so there's nothing to retype. Send it by text, email, or PDF. Mark it paid with the method the customer used — cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, or Stripe — and the job closes out.
Take a before photo. Do the job. Take an after. BlastBid pairs the two, drops your logo and phone number on the share card, and lets you send it in a tap. Every photo stays attached to the job it came from, so your camera roll never turns into a mystery pile of rust and steel.
Automatic before and after pairing
Share cards branded with your logo and phone number
One-tap share to the customer
Photos attached to the job, not dumped in your camera roll
Works offline and syncs later
Feature 04
Job pipeline
Know where every job stands without digging through texts.
Every job moves through a five-stage pipeline: scheduled, in progress, complete, invoiced, paid. See all of it at a glance. Start the clock when you begin. At the end, enter actual hours and media used, and BlastBid compares them to your estimate so you find out where you're bidding too high or too low.
Five-stage pipeline: scheduled, in progress, complete, invoiced, paid
Built-in job timer for actual hours
Estimated vs actual comparison on every finished job
Assign jobs to individual workers
Notes, attachments, and history on every job
Feature 05
Offline mode
The app doesn't care if you have signal.
The whole app runs from local storage on your phone. Estimates, customers, jobs, photos — all there with zero bars. When you get back in range it syncs in the background. No "you're offline" banners, no spinners, no reason to finish the bid back at the shop.
Full app functionality without signal
Local SQLite storage on every device
Background sync once signal returns
Bids don't evaporate if the phone dies mid-quote
Same experience on iPhone, Android, and web
Feature 06
Branded PDFs
Something that looks like you've been doing this for twenty years.
Every estimate and invoice becomes a clean PDF with your business name, logo, phone, and line items on it. They're rendered on the server, so the math is right and the layout is the same every time. Preview it, print it, or share it through the native share sheet.
Your logo, name, phone, and email on every document
Server-rendered layout — no formatting surprises
View, print, or share through the native share sheet
Same output on iPhone, Android, and web
Feature 07
Customer database
Every customer and every job they've ever hired you for.
Customers are built into the product, not bolted on. Each one has their whole history: estimates, jobs, invoices, revenue, and notes. Need to repeat a job or an estimate from last year? Two taps. Need to call, text, or email them? Also two taps.
Contact info with address autocomplete
Full history: estimates, jobs, invoices, revenue totals
Repeat Job and Repeat Estimate shortcuts
Tap to call, text, or email
Notes for gate codes and whatever else you need to remember
Feature 08
Team and worker management
Assign jobs, see who did what.
Add your crew, assign workers to specific jobs, and keep everyone working from the same pipeline on their own phones. Changes show up in real time. It's all in the base price — no per-user fees.
Unlimited team members
Per-job worker assignment
Everyone working from the same pipeline
No per-user pricing
Feature 09
Safety documentation
OSHA silica paperwork organized and ready when an inspector walks in.
Job site logs, training records, and an exposure control plan template that pre-fills with your business name, the media you actually use, and your worker roster. This is a documentation tool, not a compliance tool — it helps you keep your paperwork in one place, not replace a qualified safety consultant.
Written exposure control plan template (OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153)
Silica content reference for every media type
Medical exam, respirator fit, and training record tracking per worker
Job site log entry generator with media, hours, and surface area
CSV export for inspector requests or your own filing
Feature 10
Recurring jobs
Contracts you do every week or every quarter, scheduled automatically.
For the repeat work — weekly fleet cleanup, quarterly equipment blasting, annual maintenance. Set a recurring schedule once and BlastBid rolls a fresh job into the pipeline on the right cadence. Each instance is a real job you can edit, reschedule, or invoice independently.
Weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly cadences
Each instance spawns as a full editable job
Skip or reschedule individual occurrences
Works from any customer's history
Feature 11
Estimate templates and past-estimate reuse
Never retype a bid you already wrote.
The estimate wizard can start from a saved template, a job preset, or literally any past estimate you've sent. Perfect for shops that quote the same trailer, the same pool of equipment, or the same fleet of vehicles over and over. Pull last year's bid, tweak the price, send.
Save any estimate as a reusable template
Search past estimates during the wizard
Job presets for auto, residential, marine, commercial, industrial
Pre-fills media, hours, and line items from the source
Feature 12
Weather on the Today feed
Know before you load the trailer whether rain is going to flash-rust your work.
Every outdoor job you've scheduled picks up a live forecast on the Today screen — temperature, humidity, and precipitation. BlastBid warns you when humidity is above 85% so you can plan around flash rust on bare steel. Celsius or Fahrenheit based on your locale.
Live 5-day forecast on Today for every outdoor job
High-humidity warning (flash rust risk on bare steel)
