Three things Handoff AI can’t do yet
Every advantage traces back to how SimplyWise was built. Mobile-first, for a contractor standing on a jobsite with a phone.
LiDAR room measurement
Capture room dimensions directly from your phone’s LiDAR sensor. Handoff has no LiDAR support — you measure manually and type it in.
Smart upsell suggestions
AI surfaces upsell opportunities based on what’s in the photo. Handoff doesn’t market this capability.
Every feature in one plan
Change orders, teams, multi-user — included by default. Handoff gates change orders to its Pro tier and limits teams by user count.
