The workbook holds a job estimator that prices by liner type and flue configuration, a CSIA certification tracker so recertification doesn't sneak up on you, a client history that remembers the last sweep date, and a route planner for the fall rush. The material inventory tracks brush sizes, caps, and dampers.
