WinkScope is estimating, job costing and invoicing software for Canadian contractors. It prices in CAD, applies the correct GST, HST or GST plus PST combination for the province, tracks construction lien holdback against progress billings, prices change orders against the original estimate, and reports actual cost against budget on live jobs. Subscriptions are billed in USD worldwide.
