FOR PAINTING CONTRACTORS
Keep every measured room, finish choice and project stage clear.
Turn site visits into detailed estimates, record color decisions, schedule staged work and keep deposits and final invoices connected.
Built for solo operators. No sales call required.
WHAT CHANGES
Keep measured project scopes ready for the next job.
When a customer calls again, find the previous work, relevant service details and agreed next steps together.
Arrive with the details you need
Check the request and access instructions before you leave, so the visit starts with fewer unanswered questions.
Avoid asking the same questions again
Refer to previous work when an existing customer gets in touch, instead of asking them to explain everything from the beginning.
Make the next step clear
Keep completed work, outstanding items and payment details together so you and the customer know what still needs attention.
HOW IT WORKS
From the first request to the next visit.
Agree what the customer needs, leave enough time for the visit and keep a clear account of what was done.
Kept together through the day
- Customer details stay with the job
- Notes are ready before the visit
- Invoicing follows completed work
STEP 01
