You started a painting company.
Now you're buried running it.
You're running the business on memory, text threads, and a spreadsheet you haven't updated in two weeks. A homeowner calls about a repaint, nobody follows up fast enough, and by the time you remember, they've already booked the other painter who quoted them yesterday.
Your estimator has three proposals sitting in draft because he got pulled to a job site. Your crews show up without the color schedule, with the wrong sheen, or short on gallons - and call the office to ask what they're painting.
Your office manager is fielding calls, managing the crew schedule in one tool, tracking hours in another, and sending invoices from a third. Nobody has the full picture except you - and you're holding it all in your head.
You've tried adding tools. A CRM here. A scheduling app there. Color selections texted back and forth. But now you have six logins, nothing talks to each other, and you're still the one stitching it all together.
One system.
Not one more app.
Field Stash isn't another app to bolt onto the stack. It replaces the stack. CRM, estimates, scheduling, production, communications, payments, and marketing - all in one platform, built for painting contractors with crews in the field.
From chaos to control
From first call to final coat
Every stage of the job - lead capture, estimating, scheduling, production, communication, and payment - runs through one connected system built for painters.
Never lose track of a lead again
Every lead lands in a visual pipeline. You see who needs follow-up, which estimates are overdue, and where proposals are sitting. Click-to-call from any card. Per-deal source tracking shows which marketing actually brings in painting work.
- ✓Visual Kanban board with drag-and-drop lead triage
- ✓Automatic lead creation from calls, texts, and web forms
- ✓AI-drafted follow-ups so no estimate sits untouched
- ✓Lead-source ROI tied to ad spend - real cost per booked job
Pack more estimates into every day
The scheduler uses actual drive times between appointments to suggest the best available slots. Your estimator spends more time in front of homeowners and less time in the truck. Customers get automatic confirmation texts.
- ✓Drive-time-aware appointment suggestions
- ✓Automatic confirmation and reminder texts
- ✓Google Calendar sync with two-way blocking
- ✓Custom slots when you need to override the system
Every conversation captured and actionable
Calls, texts, and voicemails are tied to the customer record automatically. Missed a call? The system sends a text-back instantly. Need a quick reply? AI suggests three options based on the conversation. Your team never has to wonder 'did anyone follow up with that lead?'
- ✓Built-in softphone with call recording and voicemail transcription
- ✓SMS from your business numbers with full conversation history
- ✓Missed call text-back and auto-reply for new contacts
- ✓AI-suggested replies based on conversation context
Crews show up knowing exactly what to paint
When a deal closes, the work order builds itself from the takeoff. Field Stash turns room-by-surface hours into a day-by-day plan - phases sequenced in production order, rooms clustered so the house finishes clean, and the crew packed to capacity. Everything the painters need: surfaces, products, colors, sheens, and gallons.
- ✓Auto-generated day-by-day plan from the accepted estimate
- ✓Work orders with surfaces, products, colors, and sheens
- ✓Paint and material calculator with gallon and budget tracking
- ✓Crew Gantt with day-by-day painter allocations and SOPs
Know which paint jobs make money
Track payments, deposits, and profitability per job. See real labor and material costs against your estimate. Revenue forecasting shows where you'll land this month, this quarter, this year - with scenario planning for hiring another crew.
- ✓Payment tracking with deposit rules and multiple methods
- ✓Job-level profitability: real cost vs. estimate, per job
- ✓Revenue forecast with scenario planner and break-even analysis
- ✓Payroll reports with overtime, loaded costs, and CSV export
Your crews stay connected. Even without signal.
The mobile app works offline. Crews can clock in, pull up the work order with the full color schedule, take GPS-tagged photos, and check job details - even in basements and rural areas. Everything syncs when they're back online.
Show them the finished paint job before you lift a brush
Upload a photo of the property and the AI visualizer renders it in the homeowner's chosen colors. Thousands of colors across five major paint lines - Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, PPG, and Dunn-Edwards - plus epoxy floor flake blends, with Delta E cross-brand matching to swap a color to any line. Exterior, interior, and cabinets. Saved to the client gallery, and embeddable on your own site to capture leads.
