A CRM (Customer Relationship Management tool) for contractors tracks your client list, job history, follow-ups, and communication — so nothing falls through the cracks. Here's what it does and who needs one.


What a Contractor CRM Does

  • Stores client contact info
  • Ties job history to each client (what you did, when, for how much)
  • Tracks follow-up reminders (seasonal outreach, pending estimates)
  • Records communication history

Who Needs One

  • Solo contractors managing 50+ clients will benefit from CRM features
  • Any contractor running recurring service accounts — you need to know who's due for next visit
  • Contractors doing seasonal outreach — "time to schedule your annual HVAC tune-up"

Solo contractors with under 30 clients can often manage with a notes app or a spreadsheet until volume demands more.


TimeFotos CRM Features

TimeFotos includes a client CRM tied to your job workspaces. Client history lives alongside the photos and invoices from their jobs. As you add more jobs, the client's history grows automatically without manual entry.
