Contractors in Iowa lose more hours to quoting, change orders and chasing invoices than to any single trade task.

Work in Iowa is driven by storm and hail repair, agricultural building and residential remodelling. Licensing runs through contractor registration with Iowa Workforce Development, and approvals go through municipal building departments, lighter in rural counties. WinkScope does not file permits or licences for you, but it keeps the scope, revisions, approvals and photo record that those conversations depend on in one job file.
Turn an accepted estimate into an invoice, take card payment through Stripe, bill deposits, milestones or progress claims, and raise change orders that carry their own approval and their own billing. Invoices, payments and change orders all post back to the project, so the financial picture for a Iowa job is one screen, not three spreadsheets.
Field crews use the phone apps for job details, checklists, photos, GPS-stamped time entries and client signatures. Subcontractors get work orders with scope and checklists; clients get a portal showing approvals, documents and progress. Nothing has to be re-typed when the crew gets back from a Iowa job.
Starter $29.99/mo, Pro $79.99/mo, Agency $199/mo and Enterprise $799/mo, each with a 15-day free trial and no card required to start. Plans are billed in USD worldwide, and you can invoice your own clients in your local currency.
Quotes are issued in USD with sales tax handled on the document and measurements in feet, square feet and yards. Your price book holds what you actually pay at Menards, Home Depot, Lowe's and Ferguson, and live vendor search checks current pricing before a number goes out. Markup, margin and section totals are editable, so the client sees the presentation you want and you keep the maths behind it.
Severe winters, spring storms and derecho and hail events that create sudden roofing demand decides when exterior work actually happens across the state. The WinkScope schedule shows a live weather overlay on the calendar and Gantt, so a washed-out day is moved once and every dependent task, crew and client reminder moves with it.
