BidSwift is holiday lighting estimating software built for Christmas light installation contractors. Capture a lead by QR code, measure rooflines from satellite, generate an AI before/after lighting preview, and collect a deposit — all in under 10 minutes. The U.S. holiday lighting installation industry tops $2 billion annually.
Professional holiday lighting installation generates over $2 billion annually in the U.S. (IBPSA, 2023). The market grows each season as more homeowners hire professionals — meaning opportunity is increasing for contractors who can quote faster than competitors.
Contractors who include an AI-rendered before/after image in their proposals consistently report higher close rates and larger average job values. When customers see their own home with holiday lights before committing, hesitation drops and upsells increase.
The bulk of holiday lighting installs happen in a narrow October–early December window — roughly 60–70 days. Contractors who can quote in minutes, not days, capture more jobs per season. BidSwift's satellite measurement and AI preview cut the quote-to-approval cycle to under 10 minutes.
Every step of the holiday lighting workflow — from first contact to signed estimate — handled in one place.
Customer scans your QR code or fills your intake form — including a photo of their home for the AI preview.
BidSwift generates a realistic before/after mockup of the home with holiday lights installed. Included free on every estimate.
One link. Customer sees the price, the AI preview, and approves digitally with a one-time verification code.
Customer pays from the estimate link. You get notified instantly. The install is locked in before you touch a single strand.
Purpose-built for the holiday lighting workflow — AI previews, satellite measurement, and deposit collection in one platform.
Upload a photo of the home. BidSwift generates a realistic before/after showing exactly how the holiday lights will look. Customers say yes faster when they can see it first.
Measure rooflines and light runs from satellite imagery. Quote any property from your desk — no site visit required before sending the estimate.
Send a branded estimate link with the AI preview embedded. Customers view, approve, and pay — no spreadsheets, no text-message numbers.
Collect a deposit the moment the customer approves. Funds go directly to your Stripe account. No chasing, no follow-up calls.
Door hangers, yard signs, business cards — when homeowners scan your QR code, their info lands in your dashboard automatically.
Customers verify with a one-time code before approving. Every approval is authenticated and timestamped — your protection if questions arise later.
