Forge - Manage jobs, invoices & clients in one place

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We're thrilled to introduce Forge — the all-in-one job management platform built specifically for contractors and service professionals. The Problem If you've ever worked with a contractor (or are one yourself), you know the chaos: estimates scribbled on napkins, invoices lost in email threads, project updates delivered via random text messages, and payments that take 45+ days to collect. Most contractors are running their entire business on a patchwork of spreadsheets, sticky notes, and 15 different apps that don't talk to each other. They spend 10+ hours a week on admin work instead of actually building. The enterprise solutions like Procore are built for massive commercial operations with $50K+ budgets. The average general contractor, remodeler, or service pro? They're left with tools that weren't designed for how they actually work. What We Built Forge brings everything into one platform: 📋 Job Management Create and track jobs from estimate to completion Manage multiple active projects from a single dashboard Assign tasks, set milestones, and monitor progress in real-time Attach documents, photos, and notes to any job 👥 Client Portal Give your clients 24/7 access to their project Real-time progress updates and photo galleries Direct messaging without sharing your personal number Online invoice viewing and payment 💰 Invoicing & Payments Professional invoices in minutes, not hours Progress billing and milestone-based payments Online payment processing (get paid faster) Automated payment reminders ⏱️ Time Tracking Mobile time clock for field crews Track hours by job and task Works offline for remote job sites Flows directly into job costing 📊 Analytics & Reporting Job profitability tracking Labor cost vs. estimate analysis Revenue trends and forecasting Know which jobs make money (and which don't) 📱 Mobile-First Full-featured mobile access Works offline in the field Capture photos, log time, update status from anywhere Push notifications for important updates Who It's For General Contractors (residential & light commercial) Remodelers & Renovators Home Builders Service Providers (plumbers, electricians, HVAC, etc.) Specialty Contractors Whether you're a solo operator or managing multiple crews, Forge scales with your business. Why We Built This We watched too many contractors—good at their craft—struggle with the business side. Chasing payments. Losing track of projects. Spending nights doing paperwork instead of being with family. The tools that exist either cost a fortune or weren't built with contractors in mind. Forge is our answer: professional-grade project management that doesn't require an IT department to set up or a finance degree to understand. What's Next We're actively building based on user feedback. On our roadmap: Cost catalog / price book Change order workflows Daily logs with photo documentation QuickBooks integration Advanced reporting & business intelligence Try It Free We're offering free access during our beta period. No credit card required. We want contractors using it, breaking it, and telling us what to build next. We'd love your feedback: What features would make this a must-have for contractors you know? Anyone here run a trades business? What's your biggest operational headache? What do you wish your contractor had when working on your home? Thanks for checking us out! We're here all day to answer questions. 🔨 — Damon & the Forge team
