Mark it won. The project, work order and purchase orders come from the estimate.
03
Plan and produce

04
Deliver and get paid
Invoice by quantity built. Print the packing slip.

Jobs, cash and estimates on three dashboards.
[02]// QUOTE AND WIN

ESTIMATES FROM THE EXCEL SHEET YOU ALREADY USE

Load the standard Excel sheet and the estimate builds itself. No re-keying.

Spreadsheets aging icon
Everything carries over

Products, labor, material with supplier, subcontractor and overhead costs all land in the estimate. Review the numbers and move on.

Spreadsheets aging icon
Branded, emailed in one click

Generate the estimate on your own template and email it to the customer without leaving the page.

Spreadsheets aging icon
Won, lost, revised, reopened

Every estimate has a clear status. Revise before you win. Move a lost estimate back to won when the customer comes back.

[03]// BUILD AND BUY

MARK IT WON. THE JOB STARTS.

Execution starts from the estimate, not from a blank screen.

Project and work order on win

Mark an estimate won and the project is created with the work order from it. The contract stays linked, with the estimate details, and prints as a work order copy.

Purchase orders from the estimate

Material and subcontract items are listed ready to order. Email the PO to the vendor, upload the receipt on delivery, close it.

Actual cost control

Replace estimates with real numbers as the job runs. Edit material and overhead actuals. Labor cost is included alongside them.

[04]// PLAN AND PRODUCE

SHIFTS FROM THE ESTIMATE, HOURS FROM THE FLOOR

Planning starts ready. The shop floor logs the day in one place.

Spreadsheets aging icon
Schedules built from the estimate

Shifts come from the estimate, so the schedule starts with the labor you quoted.

Spreadsheets aging icon
Rates that take effect on the date you set

Set a new employee rate with an effective date and it applies to project shifts automatically.

Spreadsheets aging icon
One company view

Active Schedule shows every project in one place.

Spreadsheets aging icon
Daily shop hours

The Shop Floor Manager records crew hours against scheduled projects, then commits the day to lock the entries.

[05]// DELIVER AND GET PAID

BILL WHAT YOU BUILT. SHIP WHAT YOU BILLED.

Invoice by quantity. Dispatch with a packing slip. One to-do list across every job.

Invoices by quantity manufactured

Generate the invoice for the product quantity built, on your own design.

Dispatch records and packing slips

Log what leaves the shop and print the packing slip.

Job Status

Project Managers and Shop Floor Managers work from the same action list across every project. Completed items move to History.
