Painting Contractor Software
Solutions for painting companies
PlanOps simplifies the management of your residential and commercial painting business.
Painting contractors juggle interior jobs in the off-season and exterior work when the weather finally cooperates. Clients want a price quickly, often before they have even picked colors, and the difference between a profitable job and a losing one usually comes down to accurate surface and labor estimates.
PlanOps helps you measure, quote, schedule your crews and track actual time on every job, so each season's numbers make your next quotes sharper.
Challenges painting contractors face
Estimating surfaces accurately
Walls, ceilings, trim and siding: a mistake of a few dozen square feet ripples through paint quantities, labor hours and margin.
A short exterior season
Exterior contracts are packed into a few months. You need to respond fast and fill the calendar early.
Knowing whether a job made money
Without comparing actual hours to quoted hours, it's hard to adjust your pricing from one season to the next.
Keeping track of colors and products
Color codes, sheens and quantities need to be recorded for future touch-ups and to avoid mix-ups between crews.

How it works with PlanOps
- 1
Capture the request
The client is created in the CRM with the address, rooms or elevations to paint and their photos.
- 2
Measure and quote
Use remote measurement to size up exteriors, or enter rooms for interiors. The quote details prep, coats and products.
- 3
Schedule crews
The accepted quote becomes a project on the calendar with the crew and dates assigned.

Track the job
Painters clock in from the mobile app, note the colors used and take before and after photos.
- 5
Invoice and ask for a review
The invoice syncs with QuickBooks and the client gets a Google review request after the final coat.
Frequently asked questions
Can I estimate an exterior paint job remotely?
Largely, yes. The remote measurement tool lets you measure a building's lengths and heights to estimate wall area. Siding condition and prep work can then be confirmed with client photos or a short visit.
How do I compare actual hours to estimated hours?
Your painters clock in on each project. You can then compare real time against the time in the quote and adjust your rates for future jobs.
Can I keep each client's color codes?
Yes. Project notes and photos stay on the client record. When they call back for a touch-up or another room, you immediately find the products used.
Can I build a quote room by room?
Yes. You can structure your quote by room or by surface (walls, ceilings, trim) so the client clearly sees what's included and can add or remove items.
