Know what a job
actually
brought in

I spent years running ten to fifteen finishing jobs a week. The quote says one thing, the real hours and materials say another, and the gap only shows up at invoicing. I build the tool that pulls it together, shaped around how you work.

What goes wrong in a painting business

The same three problems show up everywhere, whatever the crew size.

Hours pieced together on Friday night

Crews write in a notebook, or from memory. The owner rebuilds the week from fragments, and hours end up on the wrong job. Invoicing starts from rough numbers.

Materials that vanish into overhead

Paint, sheeting and filler leave the store without being tied to a job. At month end it is one global purchase line, impossible to split. The real cost per job stays unknown.

The next quote priced on a hunch

Without the real cost of the last one, you repeat the same prices and hope. Jobs that lose money repeat, because nobody knows which ones lose.

What the tool does

Thirty-second entry at day end

The crew lead opens the tool on their phone, picks the job, ticks who was there and enters the hours. No GPS clock-in the crew forgets, no privacy filing to do.

Materials tied on the spot

What leaves the store is assigned to the job right then. Supplier invoices attach too, and real consumption shows up job by job.

Budget spent shows live

Halfway through, you see where the job stands against the quote. If it slips, you know while there is still time to act.

Built for you, not generic

You describe how you work, I build what matches. Not a package where you use ten percent of the features and pay per user every month.

From 3,500 USD, delivered in two to three weeks, fixed price quoted in writing. Then 120 USD per month for hosting, backups and upkeep. The tool is yours: code, database, documentation, all of it goes with you if you ever move it.

How it starts

First call on video, no commitment. You show me how you work today, your files, your notebooks, your habits. I tell you what a tool would change and what it would cost. If it is not worth it, I say that too.
