Official integrations include Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Zapier, and CompanyCam, with integrations included at no additional cost. The mobile apps provide CRM access, proposals, photos, push notifications, invoicing, and texting, while requiring internet connectivity for real-time synchronization.

PaintClarity is job and business management software for professional painters and painting contractors, from solo operators to businesses with multiple crews. It supports estimates and quotes, crew scheduling, customer and project management, production-rate tracking, card payments, and job-profit reporting. Quotes can include painting-specific scopes, inclusions and exclusions, itemized or lump-sum pricing, PDF output, online acceptance, and e-signatures. A free visualizer previews paint colors on selected surfaces in a photo; Pro adds an AI visualizer, with results downloadable as an image or PDF. The schedule can be subscribed to from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. PaintClarity requires a self-hosted WordPress site running WordPress 6.0 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. Customer, job, schedule, photo, invoice, and financial data is stored in the customer’s WordPress database and hosting account. Previously opened jobs and today’s scheduled jobs can be read offline, but creating quotes requires a connection. The free plan has no time limit and includes unlimited jobs and quotes. Pro costs $45 a month per site.
