Overview

From Quote to Approved Work Order — Without the Back-and-Forth

Stop emailing spreadsheets and chasing phone approvals. FSM Navigator™ gives you a complete estimate-to-approval workflow built right into every work order.

Detailed Line Items

Break down every estimate by labor hours, materials, quantities, and unit prices. Customers see exactly what they're paying for — no surprises.

Online Customer Approval

Send estimates to customers through the portal. They review, approve, or request changes on their own time — no phone tag required.

Approved and Ready to Schedule

Your estimate total is the work order's budget from the start — no copying numbers between screens, and nothing to re-enter when the customer approves.

Estimate Builder

Build Professional Quotes in Minutes, Not Hours

Every estimate starts from the work order itself. Add labor hours, list materials with quantities and unit prices, and include custom notes or terms. The total calculates as you go — so you can review the number before the customer ever sees it.

Handling similar jobs regularly? Save your estimate as a template. Next time an AC install or panel upgrade comes in, start from the template and adjust — instead of building from scratch.

  • Labor hours, materials, quantities, and unit pricing on every line
  • Custom notes, terms, and conditions per estimate
  • Reusable templates for common job types
  • Send estimates for online review and approval — no PDFs to print or email

Approval Workflow

Know Exactly Where Every Estimate Stands

No more wondering "did the customer see it?" Every estimate has a clear status — draft, sent, pending, approved, or rejected. Your team sees the full picture at a glance, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Customers review estimates in the customer portal — a branded, professional experience where they can approve with one click or leave a note asking for changes.

  • Pending, approved, and rejected status tracking
  • Customer portal integration for self-service approvals
  • Approved amounts flow directly into the work order budget
  • Rejected? Re-open, adjust line items, and re-send

Revise & Re-send

Revise an Estimate and Send It Again

Customer asked for changes? No problem. Re-open a sent or rejected estimate, adjust the line items, and send it back — the status moves right back into review so your team always knows where the quote stands.

Every estimate carries a clear status — draft, sent, approved, or rejected — plus the rejection reason when a customer pushes back, so you know exactly what to adjust before you re-send.

  • Re-open a sent or rejected estimate in a couple of clicks
  • Adjust line items, notes, and totals, then re-send
  • Clear draft, sent, approved, or rejected status on every estimate
  • Rejection reasons captured so you know exactly what to change

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Work Order Estimates

Which plan includes estimates?

Work order estimates are available on the Enterprise plan at $59.99/user/month billed monthly, or $47.99/user/month billed annually. Every Enterprise subscription starts with a 14-day free trial so you can explore estimates, approvals, online customer review, and templates before committing.

Can customers approve estimates online?

Yes. Customers receive a link to review the full estimate — line items, labor, materials, and totals — directly in the customer portal. They can approve, reject, or request changes without calling your office.

What happens after an estimate is approved?

Your estimate total is the work order's budget — the numbers carry over automatically as you build the estimate, so once it's approved your team starts the job with an accurate budget already in place.

Can I revise an estimate after sending it?

Yes. Re-open a sent or rejected estimate, adjust the line items, and re-send it to the customer. The estimate status moves right back into review, so your team always sees where each quote stands.

How do customers receive estimates?

Send estimates for online review and approval in the customer portal — no PDFs to print or email. Customers open a secure link, review the full line-item breakdown, and approve or reject right there.

Can I reuse estimate templates?

Yes. Save estimate structures as templates for job types you handle regularly — like AC installs or panel upgrades. When a similar job comes in, start from a template instead of building the estimate from scratch. Adjust quantities and pricing as needed, and you're ready to send.
