Help creating form for an audit company

    I am starting an energy audit company and my needs are simple. The auditor goes to the customers home, he turns on his tablet, clicks an app icon which opens up the form. He then counts how many light bulbs and of which type are currently installed in the home. The form auto-calculates how much those are costing them each month and year. It then tells them how much it will save them by switching to LED bulbs. 

    The auditor then goes around with a thermal camera and takes photos of the home while inspecting for air leaks while the blower door is running. He will then import those directly to the form and continue his audit. All other information such as insulation values, energy leak reports etc will be on the form.

    The customer will then review the information, read the terms of service and sign the device. This will authorize their payment as well. I would like to connect a Square or PayPal card reader to the device to accomplish this.  Once submitted, I would like it to be sent to to the customers email address as well as to our company email. I would also like to figure out a way to incorporate it into my appointment booking software to keep track of the leads and appointment results. I'm sure that will be done by exporting to XML or something.
