Scope the job.
Build the budget.
In the meeting.
Use your phone, tablet, or computer to capture scope and build a realistic project budget in minutes — on the spot or back at the office, even offline.
Qualify sooner. Set expectations earlier. Stop using detailed proposals for price discovery.
Stop letting price discovery happen in the proposal
You know the routine. Meet the prospect. Take notes. Head back to the office. Spend hours on a detailed proposal. Present it — and only then find out the client's expectations and your budget aren't close.
So you revise. Value engineer. Revise again. Those are the Time Pirates: hours stolen from your sales team that could have gone to the next opportunity.
Design first, then find out
Meeting → notes → hours of proposal → present → misaligned → revise → value engineer → revise.
The number arrives days late, and every revision costs you another evening.
Qualify first, then design
Establish a realistic scope and budget during the first meeting — or right after — before you invest hours in detailed design.
You shouldn't have to fully design a project just to discover what your client can afford.
Your meeting. Your selling style.
Qualifier supports both on the same job — and never forces a rep to price a $250,000 project while the homeowner is talking.
Estimate on the spot
For the client who's ready to talk numbers — build and present a realistic budget while you're together.
Capture now. Estimate later.
For meetings where being present matters more than pricing live — capture rooms, systems, photos, voice notes and requirements, then turn them into an estimate immediately afterward.
Either way the goal is the same: establish scope and budget while the conversation is fresh — not days later, after hours of proposal work.
The same estimate, wherever you’re working
On the Teams edition, a rep captures and prices it on a phone or tablet in the house, then anyone can pick it up in the browser back at the office — the estimate, the client and the history come with it.
Free to use. Two ways to go further.
BlueDog Qualifier V3 is a complete estimating app for iPhone, iPad and Android. It works with no subscription — scope a job, build a real budget, use your own products and pricing, and save it all to the cloud with a free account.
If you work on your own, Pro is an in-app purchase — bought in the app, nothing to arrange with us. If you have a sales team, the Organizations plans give everyone the whole product plus a shared company catalog and team management.
Stop wasting time on proposals.
Scope a job, build a real budget, use your own products and pricing — offline if you need to. Create a free account and your estimates save to the cloud. iPhone · iPad · Android.
Two options, priced two different ways
Solo is one person working for themselves, buying what they need inside the app. Teams is a per-user plan for a professional organization with a sales team, arranged with us. They are not the same product.
Solo
Turn the estimate into something your client acts on.
Teams
Built from AV experience. Engineered for scale.
Qualifier combines BlueDog's decades of real-world residential AV experience with professional software development and support from Daruma Tech. The result isn't a generic estimating tool adapted to AV — it's software built around the way residential integrators actually qualify, scope and sell projects.
