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.

In the field

Here’s how contractors, trades & small businesses use Blue Crane on-site.

Built with Ontario trades — not just for them.

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.

Blue Crane QR

Job-site Workflow & Onboarding

Tie jobs, people, and every document into a private phone invite or a posted QR code around the site. Every work order and record available instantly — to you, your office, or the MOL if they show up.

Digital Sign-offs

Sign-offs sent to their phone or yours — employees, customers, and visitors done faster. Already have a paper form or old document? Scan it and send it out for a signature right from the app.

Built by Tradesmen Built-in compliance for every job Simple setup. Running same day.
Blue Crane What Blue Crane Does

One powerful tool that lifts the weight of paperwork.

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.

How It Works

SMART SCAN TO JOB CREATION. Everything connected.

Scan a document or record a video log — Blue Crane reads it, works out what it is and who it belongs to, files it to the right job or person, and gets it ready for your back office.

Read & identify

Blue Crane takes your scans or video logs and works out what each one is — and who it belongs to — by reading names, titles, and document type.

Reads any document Auto-filed & tracked Receipts calculated Accountant-ready

🍁 Made in Canada

Your records stay in Canada.

Built by a Hamilton contractor who's dealt with WSIB, the MOL, and a binder full of certs — so the app already knows what Ontario asks for.

Privacy

Governed by Canadian law

Your receipts, certs, and business records are handled under PIPEDA — Canadian privacy law. Not subject to foreign jurisdiction or US data requests.

Compliance

Built around what Ontario requires

WSIB clearances, MOL paperwork, CVOR, fall-arrest certs, contractor insurance — the vault is organized around the documents Ontario trades actually get asked for.

Origin

Built by a Tradesman, for the Trade

This came from a Hamilton contractor who saw the value in helping fellow business owners and tradesmen — not a tech team in California guessing at what trades need.

Our Story

Built From Real Work, Not Boardroom Theory.

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.
