Qualifier is the mobile-first tool your reps use on site — capture a walkthrough in seconds, build a credible budget in minutes, and get the client to approve and pay the design retainer.
The tool supports both on the same job — and never forces a rep to price or structure anything while standing with the client.
For clients happy to see numbers right away — the rep captures, builds, and presents a budget live, and can get approval on the spot.
For higher-end clients — the rep stays present and unobtrusive with quick notes, photos, and voice, then builds the estimate afterward and sends it to review.
Clients jump from the family-room TV to the patio to the remote. Qualifier lets a rep jot any thought wherever it lands — a tap or two, no navigating. Recent rooms stay one tap away; anything unsorted drops into a holding area to organize later.
Draft a structured estimate from a spoken description, a photo of a plan, or the notes from a visit — and get prompted along the way. Every AI draft is reviewed and confirmed by the rep before anything is final or sent.
Set a default level for a typical client, then bump any room up — better in the primary bedroom, best in the home office. When the client wants a specific brand, specify the exact product instead of a range.
No more rounds of phone calls and emails — the client marks up the estimate in context, the rep sees exactly what to change, and sign-off collects the design retainer.
Approve, e-sign, and pay the design retainer — straight to the integrator via Stripe. We never take a cut.
Three levels of depth — basic to rough a number, estimate-ready to win the retainer, and engineering-ready for the design phase Blue Dog is known for.
Basements, new construction, no signal — capture, browse the catalog, and build an estimate with no connection. It all syncs automatically when you reconnect.
You connect your own Stripe or PayPal — client retainers flow directly to you. We charge for the platform, not the transaction.
Every client sees your brand, not ours. Choose how far you want to take it.
Drop in your logo and colors, and the whole experience — every estimate a client opens, comments on, and pays — carries your brand inside the Blue Dog Qualifier app. Set it up in minutes; it's part of your plan.
Want your reps to download an app with your name on it? We design, build, and publish a fully branded native app under your company on the App Store and Google Play — powered by Qualifier underneath.
