# Foldrule > Job management software for small trades businesses in the United States and Canada: handyman, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and the trades that run on visits, quotes and invoices. One record carries a job from the first call to the money in the bank. Foldrule is pre-launch, so the product cannot be signed up for yet; the free tools on the site work today. Status: pre-launch. There is no public signup. The call to action everywhere is the early access list. Owners and crews run it in English or Spanish. Customer documents go out in English or Spanish. Pricing is flat by team size with no per user fee, and there are 30 days free with no card. Card and bank payments settle into the business's own Stripe account. Foldrule never holds the money. Contact: hello@foldrule.com ## What ships at launch The loop a trades business runs every day: the request, the client and their properties, the quote with optional lines and a signature, the schedule and dispatch, the job with visits, checklists and photos, the invoice, and the payment recorded whichever way it arrived. A native mobile app for the field that works with no signal. Sales tax by property with the rate you set. QuickBooks Online sync. Reports on what was collected and what is still open. Data import from a spreadsheet or from Jobber, and a full export whenever you ask. ## What is NOT built yet These are planned and must never be described as available: parts and van stock tracking, the generated business website, two way texting, review requests, time tracking and job costing, recurring jobs, route optimization, automatic tax rate lookup, online booking windows, equipment tracking and permits. ## Product - [Jobs and scheduling](https://foldrule.com/product/jobs-scheduling/): Book the work and see the week at a glance. - [Customers](https://foldrule.com/product/customers/): Clients, properties and every job you have done for them. - [Quotes and estimates](https://foldrule.com/product/quotes-estimates/): Priced from your list, approved with a signature. - [Invoices and payments](https://foldrule.com/product/invoices-payments/): Bill the job and record the money, however it arrives. - [Team and dispatch](https://foldrule.com/product/team-dispatch/): Who is where today, and what they need to know. - [Mobile app](https://foldrule.com/product/mobile-app/): Built for the field, and it keeps working with no signal. - [Reports](https://foldrule.com/product/reports/): What you collected, what is still open, what the accountant needs. - [Inventory](https://foldrule.com/product/inventory/): Parts and van stock.
