FAQs

Got questions? We've got answers.

Can fire protection technicians create and send quotes from the field?

Yes. Essential's mobile app lets technicians build and send professional quotes on-site in minutes. They can pull line items from your business pricebook or create custom entries on the spot, and capture customer approval right from their mobile device — no need to go back to the office or wait for someone else to send the quote.

How do technicians collect payment in the field using Essential?

Essential supports tap-to-pay credit card processing directly from the technician's mobile device with no additional hardware required. Technicians can also record cash and check payments on the spot. This means you get paid at the time of service instead of waiting on an invoice cycle.

Do quotes and invoices created in the field automatically sync with the back office?

They do. Everything a technician creates in the field — quotes, invoices, and payment records — automatically syncs to Essential Office in real time. Your back-office team sees the data instantly without anyone re-entering it, keeping your records accurate and eliminating duplicate work.

Can technicians save invoice drafts for the office to review before sending?

Yes. Essential gives technicians the flexibility to either send invoices instantly from the field or save them as drafts for the office to review, adjust, and send later. This is useful when jobs need final pricing approval or when your office team handles all customer billing.

Does Essential's field quoting tool use our company's pricebook and branding?

It does. Technicians pull directly from your business's pricebook when building quotes, ensuring consistent and accurate pricing across your team. Quotes go out with your company's professional branding, so every customer interaction reflects your business — whether it's created in the office or on a job site.
