IntentGrid Operate · Upgrade

From intent to invoice.

IntentGrid tells you who to call today. Operate runs everything after the call — quote, schedule, crew, job, invoice, paid — on the same people and properties. Add it to your plan when you’re ready; your daily plan doesn’t change.

Quote → Schedule → Field → Invoice → Paid

The five things every service business does after the phone call — on one record, in the order the day actually happens.

1

Quote

Website request or phone-in estimate — one quote from your pricebook, sent from the same record.

2

Schedule

Place the job with crew, skills, and equipment in view. Conflicts surface before you promise a time.

3

Field

Crew opens Today, taps on-my-way, checks in, takes the required photos, completes. No separate app.

4

Invoice

Deposit and remainder, synced to QuickBooks with a pay link. Operate writes it; QuickBooks stays the ledger.

5

Paid

The outcome lands on the record — and feeds the daily plan that found the customer in the first place.

Why an upgrade, not another app

Every finished job teaches tomorrow’s plan.

Most field-service software starts after the lead arrives. IntentGrid starts before — with buying intent in your ZIPs. Operate closes the loop: intent becomes a contact, a quote, a job, and revenue, and each outcome flows back into the Opportunity Scores that found the customer. That loop is why Operate is an upgrade to IntentGrid, not a separate tool you have to reconcile.

  1. Intent
  2. Contact
  3. Quote
  4. Job
  5. Revenue
  6. Better intent

Intent → Contact → Quote → Job → Revenue → Better intent. The last step is the one only IntentGrid can do — because it ranked the contact before you ever called.

What’s inside

Five desks. One record.

Operate is organized the way a shop is — by the work, the people, the yard, the money, and how you show up online. Every desk reads and writes the same contact, company, and property.

Work

What needs you today, and the week ahead.

  • Dashboard of what needs attention now
  • Quote inbox, pricebook, and worksheets
  • Tasks linked to quotes, jobs, and invoices
  • Schedule and calendar with crew hours, time off, and offices
  • Workflows: reminders, follow-ups, and on-the-way texts you turn on

People

Customers and crew on one record.

  • Contact, company, and property — with who owns each field
  • Customer history: quotes, jobs, invoices, agreements
  • Crew desk with skills, hours, and assignments
  • Field role that sees the field — not unlocks, exports, or invoices

Yard

Equipment and supplies that leave with the truck.

  • Inventory checkout, return, and use per job
  • Equipment and supplies attached to job types
  • Photo plans that tell the crew what to capture

Money

Quote to cash — with QuickBooks as the ledger.

  • Deposits, remainders, open, paid, void
  • QuickBooks estimate and invoice sync with pay links
  • Recurring agreements with visit spacing and billing cadence
  • Reconciliation that never touches your IntentGrid wallet

Presence

How customers find, book, and pay you.

  • Optional website with service, city, and FAQ pages
  • Quote wizard that creates the same quote your office sees
  • Customer portal by magic link: quotes, jobs, pay, schedule
  • Google reviews and inbound leads in one mailbox
Field

Crew works from a phone. The office sees the same job.

No second app to install or pay for. A crew member opens Today, taps on-my-way, checks in on site, takes the photos the job requires, and marks it complete. Office sees it live. The field role is scoped to the field — it never sees unlocks, exports, invoices, or the site.

  5. 5

GPS on check-in and photo requirements are set per job type by the office. The field role is a real permission, not a hidden menu.

Workflows

Recipes you turn on. Nothing runs until you do.

Operate ships with plain-English recipes for the messages every shop sends anyway. Each one is off until you enable it, and each one goes to your own customers and leads through your connected messaging provider.

  • New lead received
  • Lead drip until they reply
  • Quote follow-up
  • Quote accepted / declined
  • Visit reminder
  • Crew on the way
  • Job complete
  • Invoice paid
  • First website visit (Pixel)
  • Intent or Opportunity Score alert

Operate workflows send the transactional messages you enable to people who already asked you for a quote or booked a job. IntentGrid’s daily plan still never calls, texts, or emails Priority Contacts for you.

Standalone or together

Start with either. The loop needs both.

One company, one login, one account. Buy IntentGrid to find demand, add Operate to run the work, or start with Operate and add intent later — every combination is a real product, not a bundle you have to unlock.

Find demand

IntentGrid

  • Daily Revenue Plan of who to call today
  • Opportunity Scores with plain-English reasons
  • Priority Contacts by ZIP, Pixel, and your CRM
  • Ask, per-contact scripts, Unlock Advisor

Run the work

IntentGrid Operate

  • Quotes, schedule, crew, field, invoices
  • Customer portal, quote wizard, optional website
  • QuickBooks and messaging as adapters, not replacements
  • Field role for crew — no separate app

Close the loop

Together

  • The contact you called is the customer you invoice
  • Won, done, and paid sharpen tomorrow’s Opportunity Scores
  • Pixel visits and score alerts can trigger Operate workflows
  • One record, one history, one team
Two money systems, never one

Your books stay in QuickBooks.

Operate writes the estimate and the invoice. QuickBooks remains the ledger and the customer pay link. Your IntentGrid plan, unlocks, and credits live in a completely separate system — a customer paying an invoice can never move a wallet, and a wallet can never touch a customer invoice.

Your customers pay you

Quotes · Deposits · Invoices · Agreements

Operate writes them. QuickBooks holds the ledger and the pay link.

You pay IntentGrid

Plan · Primaries · AI & enrichment credits · Operate

A separate system. Never mixed with a customer invoice.

What Operate is not

Specifics beat software theater. Here’s what we won’t claim.

Not a lead source — Operate runs the work; IntentGrid finds the demand
Not payroll, route optimization, or an equipment ERP
Not a rip-and-replace of HighLevel, Jobber, or QuickBooks on day one — they stay as adapters until you decide otherwise
Adding Operate never bills your existing customers as unlocks — tenant-owned records are yours
Field crew never see unlocks, exports, invoices, or your website settings
Exports and the Open API stay first-class — you can leave, you just won’t want to

An upgrade to your IntentGrid account

Operate is added to an existing account by an owner or admin from Portal → Operate — same login, same team, same records. Pricing is set per account during beta; your IntentGrid plan, Primaries, and credits are unchanged when you add it.

  1. Step 1

    Start with IntentGrid

    Preview your market and run the daily plan of who to call.

  2. Step 2

    Add Operate from Portal

    An owner opens Portal → Operate and adds it. Nothing about your plan changes.

  3. Step 3

    Set up the shop

    Services and pricebook, crew, QuickBooks, messaging, and the optional site.

Built for the trades first — and any shop that quotes, visits, and invoices

Pressure washing, roofing, HVAC, landscaping, windows, solar, remodeling — and any local service business whose day runs quote → visit → invoice. Services, pricebook, brand, and pages are configuration, not code, so the next shop can be a law firm or a landscaper.
