Offline Mode
Refineries, tank farms, marinas, rural properties. Half the places you blast don't have cell service. BlastBid doesn't care. The entire app runs from local storage on your phone. When you drive back into range, it syncs in the background.
No “you're offline” banners. No spinners. No reason to finish the bid back at the shop.
Quick answer
Not a stripped-down read-only mode. The actual app, with all the data on your phone.
Create, edit, and send estimates. The estimating engine runs locally. All media rates and production rates are on the device.
Look up any customer, see their history, add new ones. Contact info, notes, and past jobs are all stored locally.
Start jobs, log hours, update the pipeline. Move a job from scheduled to in progress to complete without a connection.
Take before and after photos. They save to the device and upload when you get signal. Your camera roll stays clean.
Turn a finished job into an invoice. Preview the PDF. Queue it to send. It goes out as soon as the phone reconnects.
If two people on your crew make changes while offline, BlastBid merges them automatically when both phones reconnect. No conflicts, no lost work.
Not a cache. Not a service worker with a prayer. A real database on your phone.
You know the job sites. The refinery that blocks personal devices from the guest Wi-Fi. The marina where the only signal is at the parking lot. The rural property 20 minutes from the nearest tower. The underground parking structure where your phone might as well be a brick.
Most apps treat offline as a fallback. Something goes wrong, they show you a banner, and you wait. BlastBid treats offline as the default. The app hits local storage first, every time. Signal is a bonus, not a requirement.
That means you can quote a job at the customer's site, take the before photos, log the hours, and hand them an invoice before you leave. None of that requires a connection. The data syncs later and your office sees everything when it lands.
Yes. There is a real database on every device, so the app hits local storage first every time. Quote a job, take photos, and update the pipeline with zero bars, then it syncs in the background once signal returns.
All of it: estimates, customers, jobs, photos, and invoices. This is the full app, not a stripped-down read-only mode.
No. It is a local SQLite database on iPhone, Android, and web. Every read and write goes to local storage first, and a background sync pushes changes to the server when you reconnect.
BlastBid merges both sets of changes automatically when the phones reconnect. No conflicts, no lost work.
They save to the device and queue, then upload on their own as soon as you are back in range. Your camera roll stays clean.
