Why Drafthorse
Tradespeople don’t fail to ask
for reviews because they don’t care.
They fail because they’re busy.

Drafthorse fixes that with timing, automation, and frictionless execution — so the growth engine runs while you’re on the truck.

Estimates

Detailed estimates in three taps.

Templates pre-fill the line items. Photos, deposit, terms, and signature — everything the customer needs to say yes — in one place. AI drafts pricing from your site notes.

  • Sectioned line items with live totals
  • Site photos, deposit %, custom terms
  • Customer signs from the link you text them
Customer timeline

Every customer, one chronological hub.

Estimates, photos, notes, follow-ups, payments — all on a single timeline you can scroll through in the truck. No more digging through inboxes.

  • Pinned active estimate at the top
  • Quiet AI suggests the next best action
  • Tap to call or text without leaving the screen
Pipeline

See every estimate in motion.

A kanban that thinks. Drafthorse flags cold leads, surfaces 'need-a-nudge' estimates, and totals what's in motion at every stage — for you, for your office, for your tablet.

  • Draft / Sent / Viewed / Accepted / Lost columns
  • Risk dots — cold, warm, hot — at a glance
  • AI strip surfaces 3 nudges per day
The growth engine

Every job becomes the next job.

Reviews, referrals, and reactivation aren’t a side project — they’re the system. Drafthorse runs them automatically, in the background, while you’re on the next call.

Review nudges that actually fire

Drafthorse detects the right moment — usually the day after a job — and surfaces a one-tap review request. SMS or email, ready to send.

Referrals from your happiest customers

Identify five-star customers automatically and prompt the ask. Track where every referral came from so you can double down.

Reactivation, on schedule

Lost estimates get a last-call. Past customers get seasonal nudges — inspections, tune-ups, maintenance — so the pipeline never goes dry.
