On-site Estimate & Smart Receipt Scanning
CALIBER builds the customer’s estimate on site. Smart Scan grabs single documents, and the Bulk Sorter clears a whole pile of receipts in one go.
CALIBER is Blue Crane’s real-time capture-and-convert tool. Walk the job — record video and snap photos as you go — and CALIBER turns it into professional estimates, safety walks, and reports. One walk, finished documents. Record. Talk. Review. Send.
We know less is actually more for guys in the field. Saving a lot of time = more money and freedom for you.

Love it — the QR workflow system is just awesome for the job site.
Honestly, gamechanger. No more doing quotes at the kitchen table at night — I walk the job, talk it out, and the estimate goes right to the customer.
Blue Crane took my receipts and saved my truck. Lol.

What Blue Crane Does
Smart scanning, bulk scanning, job workflow, and now CALIBER — you save real money and hours every week. We didn’t build Blue Crane to give you more admin. We built it so we could get back to our kids, who don’t care one bit that we spent all Saturday night looking for receipts.

Proudly Canadian
I’ve been in trades for 17 years — working as a millwright alongside contractors and service businesses. There are two realities for business owners. In the first, the business runs smoothly with a team behind it, making sure everyone has the right documents and every bill gets paid. In the second, the owner scrapes by, largely unnoticed — trying to keep track of everything but too busy to actually focus on the admin.
It makes sense in the moment, but it becomes a huge drag later. Eventually they get inspected or hit by the MOL — and along the way they quietly lose money to misplaced receipts and items that slip through the cracks over the year. Blue Crane solves this.
Estimate based on the numbers you set. Blue Crane removes most of the admin time around quoting, sorting receipts, and pulling records — your real savings depend on how you work.
Pick the plan that fits how you work — from solo owner-operators to full-workflow deployments.
