QuickBooks is accounting software. Bank reconciliation, payroll, sales tax, the general ledger. If your CPA wants QuickBooks, keep QuickBooks. It's good at what it's good at.
But QuickBooks doesn't know what crushed glass costs per pound, how many square feet you can blast in an hour, or which before-photo goes with which bid. For the front end of the job (estimates, pipeline, photos, invoicing) you're stuck building it yourself, one blank template at a time. That's the part BlastBid handles.
No credit card required.
A common setup: BlastBid runs the front end of the job. Estimates come out of real media and production rates. Jobs move through a pipeline. Photos stay attached to the job they came from. Invoices come out of the finished job in one tap.
QuickBooks (or the bookkeeper who lives in it) runs the books. Bank reconciliation at month end, sales tax returns, payroll, the tax return in April. BlastBid stays out of that side.
BlastBid exports every customer, estimate, job, and invoice to CSV from Settings. Hand that to your bookkeeper once a month and you never have to open QuickBooks yourself.
No, and it does not try to. QuickBooks runs the books: ledger, payroll, sales tax, reconciliation. BlastBid runs the front end of the job: estimates, the pipeline, photos, and invoicing. Most small crews run both.
No, by design. That is QuickBooks territory. BlastBid stays out of the books and instead exports every customer, estimate, job, and invoice to CSV so your bookkeeper has what they need.
Because QuickBooks does not know what crushed glass costs per pound or how many square feet you blast in an hour. You build every estimate from a blank template. BlastBid has the media and production rates built in.
BlastBid handles the job side, then you export to CSV from Settings and hand it to your bookkeeper once a month. You get sandblasting-specific estimating without giving up your accounting.
