TruFeld has become an essential part of our daily operations. The amount of time it saves our team each week is significant, and it has improved the client experience we deliver.
These are the moments that decide whether a client raves about you or quietly moves on — the difference between a five-star review and a job you never hear about again. Here's how TruFeld handles each.
Three weeks into rough-in and your client hasn’t heard a word. They start texting you at night, then driving past the site to see if anyone’s there. The work is on schedule; they just can’t see it.
Your client signed the proposal. Weeks later a situation comes up that's clearly covered by a limitation in your contract — materials not included in the base price, work outside the original scope, terms they agreed to but never actually read. They say they had no idea.
Your proposal is the first real look at how you run your business. A basic Word doc or a PDF with no clear structure tells your client something — and it's not "this person has their act together." What does that say about a $48,500 kitchen?
You delivered. Your client paid, the work held up. Months later their friend asks who to call — and your name doesn't come up. Nothing about the experience stuck.
Every phase of the job in one place, with the controls to set expectations, lock in every change, and keep payments moving.

Every morning, Spotlight tells you what needs your attention today. It's on every plan. See how it works
Every phase above happens in the same place. Your logo, your colors, your portal — clients view proposals, pick options, share files, exchange messages, make payments, and raise issues, all from one branded URL. No account, no app, no login to remember.
Watch the client portal walkthroughEvery proposal, signature, message, file, invoice, and payment for every project — all in one portal that both you and your client can access. Nothing gets lost. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Your client gets one branded URL. You get a complete history of every interaction — proposals, approvals, change orders, payments, and conversations — organized by project.
You already document your change orders. They still get disputed. Because a text that says ‘sounds good’ isn’t a signed change order — and your client’s memory of what they agreed to gets surprisingly fuzzy when the final invoice arrives.
A two-word reply doesn't prove the client understands the scope, the price, or the schedule impact. When the invoice lands, their memory isn't wrong — they never saw the details.
Vague estimates leave room for later disagreement: which materials, how many hours, what is the schedule impact. That's exactly how disputes start.
The change order is in one place; the payment schedule in another. They don't correlate. Every change can become an awkward conversation about when it'll get paid.
The client clearly sees how the change order impacts the payment schedule. You never have the awkward conversation.

Client work is unpredictable. Some months you close multiple deals — others, nothing. But your subscription charges roll in whether you billed $50K or $0.
0.6% invoicing fee with a volume-tiered cap that scales with your business, and never more than $300 a month in TruFeld fees. Stripe's processing fee applies only when your client pays via card or ACH.
