The problem
Quotes were written one at a time, bookings were juggled by phone and text, invoices were made by hand, and chasing payments meant remembering to send reminders. It added up to about 6 hours of admin every week, on top of the actual carpentry.
What we built
A full website for the business with the admin built in:
- A quote estimator. Customers answer a few questions and get an estimate straight away.
- Booking. Jobs are booked through the site instead of back-and-forth messages.
- Invoicing. Quotes become invoices, with integrations into the accounting software.
- Automatic reminders. Emails go out until each invoice is paid.
It has cut about 6 hours of admin a week and helped the business grow fast. The client hosts it themselves, so there are no platform fees.
