Insulation inventory & job costing software — estimate to actuals, square feet to stock.
Square feet become bags, batts, board feet, and foam sets — and every loadout draws down your stock. Capture the material and labor a crew actually used, see margin per job against the estimate, and hand clean invoices to QuickBooks Online.
Know your margin before the truck pulls out
and after the crew clocks off.
01 Square feet in, material units out
Quote in square feet. Stock in bags, batts, and foam sets.
Salespeople and customers think in square feet — your warehouse thinks in bags, batts, board feet, and foam sets. FieldCamp does the conversion, so the square footage on the estimate becomes the exact material units on the loadout sheet — and every loadout deducts from stock, so on-hand counts and reorder points stay honest.

02 Estimate vs. actuals
What you quoted. What it actually cost.
The crew logs the foam sets, bags, and hours they actually burned on the job. FieldCamp sets those actuals next to the estimate — material and labor, line by line — and shows the margin and profit per job, not a month-end guess.
The actuals come straight from the approved estimate and the work order your crew ran — so estimate-vs-actual is real, and the next quote on a job like it gets sharper.

05 Why it matters
Material and margin are the job. Track both, or guess.
Loadout matches the quote.
Square feet convert to the exact units the crew loads, so you never short a job or over-pull stock — and reorder points stay honest.
Margin you can see per job.
Actual material and labor sit next to the estimate, so a job that ran thin shows up the day it closes, not at month-end.
The office stops double-entering.
Invoices, payments, and customers sync to QuickBooks Online automatically — no re-keying a job into the books by hand.

07 FAQ
Questions about insulation inventory & job costing.
Insulation inventory software tracks the materials an insulation contractor keeps in stock — spray foam sets, cellulose bags, fiberglass batts, rigid board — and draws them down as jobs consume them. FieldCamp's insulation inventory converts the square footage on an estimate into the exact material units a crew loads, deducts that loadout from on-hand stock, and flags items that fall below their reorder point, so counts stay accurate and the truck always leaves with the right material.
Salespeople quote in square feet, but the warehouse stocks bags, batts, board feet, and foam sets. FieldCamp applies the yield for each material — for example, a foam set covering a set number of square feet at a target R-value, or a cellulose bag covering so many square feet at R-19 — and converts the estimate's square footage into the material units that appear on the loadout sheet. Quote one way, load another, and the conversion keeps them in sync.
Job costing compares what you estimated to what the job actually cost. The crew logs the foam sets, bags, and labor hours they used; FieldCamp lines those actuals up against the estimate — material and labor, line by line — and shows margin and profit per job. Because the actuals come from the approved estimate and the work order the crew ran, estimate-vs-actual is real, not a month-end guess, and your next quote on a similar job gets sharper.
Yes — FieldCamp syncs with QuickBooks Online. Invoices, payments, customers, and items flow one way into QuickBooks Online so your office never re-keys a job into the books and there's no double entry. Your accountant keeps working in QuickBooks Online while your crews and dispatchers work in FieldCamp. (FieldCamp integrates with QuickBooks Online; it does not connect to QuickBooks Desktop.)
Yes. Because every job carries its estimated and actual material and labor, and invoices and payments sync to QuickBooks Online, FieldCamp can break revenue, profit, and margin out by job, by crew, and by branch. You can see which crews run thin on margin and which job types consistently beat or miss the estimate.
