Software for holiday light installers
A holiday lighting order includes more than the evening the lights go on. Roofline work, tree wraps, timer setup and later removal need a clear agreement. Give the office and installation crew a shared picture of what was sold and what remains.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
A roofline run, a wreath and a trunk wrap use different supplies and working methods. A description such as house lights makes it difficult to explain changes, especially when a customer adds a detached garage after accepting the quote.
Takedown, packing and storage conversations happen while the owner is focused on getting displays ready. If arrangements remain in a message thread, another worker may not know whether removal was included or how materials should be returned.
Gates, driveway space, roof access and the location of outdoor outlets matter before the van arrives. Scheduling the crew without access details can leave working time tied up finding the homeowner or changing the planned setup.
The quote should say whose materials are being installed and what service is included. A bag of customer-owned clips represents a different arrangement from supplying a complete display and storing it after removal.
How Microtra helps
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Use estimate line items for measured roofline work, wreath placement, tree wrapping and agreed removal. Enter your own quantities and prices after assessing the site. Microtra does not measure a building or design the lighting layout.

Explore this featureA day in the life
Discuss the appearance the customer wants and assess the work through your normal site process. Note display components, access arrangements and whether lights are supplied or customer-owned.
Separate installation, approved service work and removal in the estimate. Discuss storage and damaged materials explicitly rather than assuming the customer interprets a seasonal package the same way you do.
Place the appointment and staff on the schedule. Confirm access directly, with the agreed description available for the team. Keep electrical and working-at-height decisions within your qualified professional procedures.
Check the supplied work against the invoice and share the PDF from your device. Record payment taken elsewhere, then update notes about packing or return arrangements while the details remain clear.

Compare plansA few useful answers
The app does not create display designs, roof measurements or electrical load calculations. Use appropriate design and professional assessment methods, then enter the agreed quantities and service descriptions into your estimate.
You can add appointments you arrange and keep the work description with the client. Agree a suitable takedown window directly and update the schedule when a firm visit is settled, rather than promising automatic seasonal scheduling.
Choose Other for Job and Client. Linked records and stock begin off. Enable the relevant module in Modules & terms if needed, and check its settings before relying on it for your operating process.
Yes. Write clear line items for supplied materials, installation labor, removal and agreed storage. The estimate records your commercial arrangement; it does not determine ownership, repair obligations or installation suitability.
