Digital Estimate Approvals Feature

OTP Verified Digital Approvals

Secure legally binding approvals with 6-digit OTP verification and digital signatures to eliminate payment disputes and chargebacks.

The Problem: "I never approved that." It's the most frustrating sentence a contractor can hear. Whether it's a genuine misunderstanding or a bad-faith attempt to avoid paying a bill, unverified verbal approvals or casual text messages leave your business completely exposed to chargebacks and massive financial losses on completed jobs.

How It Works

Opsler provides bank-level security for your work orders, ensuring that every approval is identity-verified, timestamped, and legally defensible.

  • Step 1: Send a Secure Link Send the estimate via email or SMS. The customer receives a unique, unguessable token-based link that requires no login or app download to access.
  • Step 2: Track 'Viewed' Status The moment the customer opens the link, Opsler records the exact timestamp and updates the status to 'Viewed' so your team knows they are reviewing it.
  • Step 3: Identity Verification (OTP) To unlock the estimate, the customer must enter a 6-digit One-Time Password (OTP) sent directly to their verified email address, confirming their identity.
  • Step 4: Digital Signature The customer reviews the options and approves the work by providing a digital signature (typed name or physically drawn on their screen). Opsler records the timestamp, IP address, user agent, and device type.

Who Uses It & Business Impact

Stop relying on 'he said, she said' and start relying on cryptographic proof of approval.

  • For Office Staff Office managers stop wasting hours chasing down unverified approvals or arguing with customers over what was agreed upon. The audit trail is instantly accessible.
  • For Business Owners Owners get peace of mind knowing they have 100% legally defensible approvals. This drastically reduces the risk of credit card chargebacks and guarantees you get paid for the work you perform.
