1. What is in your favorites?

  • Favorites contains your frequently used items including:

    • Services: you can save your production rates for maintenance services

    • Materials: you can save your units, prices, margins and pricing sheets

    • Proposals: you can save your default text, contracts, images in here

2. How to add materials to your favorites

  • Tap on “More” in the bottom right of your app

  • Select “Favorites”, then “Materials”

3. Tap the plus sign in the top right next to the word “Materials”

  • Then choose type of material you will be adding

4. Enter the material name, price and units for pricing

5. Choose a price margin:

  • If you want the price at which you buy and install the material to be the same, leave the price margin field empty

  • If you want to sell your material for a higher price than you buy them, enter a value in the price margin

    • Tap on the drop down menu to see different ways of adding price margin

6. (Optional) Add extra material

  • If you want to leave a buffer for waste, set how much extra material you want to add.

💡Note: you can change the buffer later when you use the material in a proposal or estimate

💡Pro-tip: you can also add a negative amount of “extra” material. For example, if you want to compost the interior of an area, or you want to avoid planted areas in a bed, you could set - 10%

7. Tap “Add material” to save the material to your favorites
