The measure books itself in the hot week

The first thirty degree Saturday fills your phone. Every measure lands in a gap you actually have, so you are not ringing people back off a ladder.

Booked out until the school holidays.

By October your install weeks are gone and the enquiries keep coming. The page says so and takes the job anyway with the weeks they want on it.

  • They ask instead of leaving

    The request lands with the address, the yard and the weeks that suit them, so you can answer it at smoko instead of at nine at night.

  • The overflow sits in one list

    Not across voicemail, a text thread and a number written on an offcut. When a run gets moved, the list is where you look first.

  • You still say yes or no

    Nothing is booked until you accept it, so a cancelled install frees the week and the first name waiting for it is already there.

A booking request inside a message thread, answered with accept or decline without leaving the conversation.

Two sails over the deck before the season gets away from us. Happy to wait a few weeks, we are in Newtown.

One sail, two sails, or the motorised awning.

The backyard you quote twice a week: one sail over the trampoline, two overlapping across the deck, or a folding arm awning off the house.

  • Priced off the diagonal, not a guess

    Spans, posts, fabric and install go on as their own lines, so when they ask why two sails is not double one sail, the answer is on the page.

  • The measure is the product

    Get the fixing points and the falls right on the day and the number you quoted is the number you invoice. A remade sail comes out of your pocket.

  • Sent from the driveway

    The quote goes out before you pull away from the kerb, which is usually before the next mob has rung back about coming out to look.

  • Options priced on the quote · Pro

    Posts and footings, a heavier fabric, a wind sensor on the motor. Each one moves the quoted total the moment they tick it, so the customer chooses the shade they want and you never re-type a number.

A motorised awning quote, itemised and ready to send.

The wind decides, you rearrange.

A gusty forecast takes a sail install off the board. Move it and the confirmation, the reminder and the second installer all follow it.

  • Drag it and it is done

    Pull the install onto the next still morning. The confirmation updates itself and nobody has to be texted at ten at night.

  • The measure fills the hole

    A blown out install day is a good day to knock over four measures nearby, and both jobs move on the same board.

  • Block the weeks you are flat out

    A date override closes a full install week so new measures stop landing in the middle of one, on any plan.

A day on the schedule where one job is dragged from one time to a later one and snaps into place on the grid.

The job keeps moving while the sail is being made.

Accepted, on the board, fabricated, installed, paid. Three weeks of nothing visible is where jobs get lost, so the record carries its own state and the customer gets told at each step without you writing a message.

Built for your trade

Built for the shade you actually hang

Sail over the pool

The measure books online, the quote goes out with the fabric choice priced, and the install lands once the sail is back from the machinist.

Two sail overlap across a deck

Two sails, four fixing points and a span that has to be right. Quoted as its own option beside the single sail so the customer can see the difference.

Carport sail over the driveway

Priced off the spans and the post work rather than a rate per square metre, with the concrete cure sitting between the two visits on your board.

Folding arm awning on a cafe courtyard

The awning, the wall brackets and the motor go on as separate lines, and the cafe signs it on a phone between the lunch and dinner runs.

Childcare centre sandpit shade

A committee needs a written number and a date. The quote is itemised, the acceptance is recorded, and the install books into a holiday week.

Posts in now, sail up later

Dig and concrete on one visit, hang and tension on another. Two bookings against one job, so nothing goes up on green concrete.

Autumn take-down

A set price on your booking page, so the whole street can book their own take-down in April while you are still on the tools.

Storm re-tension

After a big blow the phone runs hot. Requests land in one list with the address on them instead of scattered across voicemail.

Awning re-cover on an old frame

The frame stays, the fabric changes. Priced as a job with a measure in front of it and the customer history showing what went on last time.

Motor fault on a wind out awning

A short service call with a price on it, booked straight into the gap between two bigger installs instead of being squeezed in as a favour.

The small job has a price before you answer.

A re-tension, a take-down, an awning service. Set price, booked into a real gap while you are up a ladder with a turnbuckle.

The same house, twice a year, every year.

Down before the storms, back up before the heat. What you hung there, what fabric went on and what you charged, on one card.

Which quotes went quiet when the weather cooled.

A shade quote sits on a phone until the next hot week. See what has been opened and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.

Pro

Paid the day the sail goes up.

Most of the money lands on install day, up a ladder, in the sun. Record cash and transfers by hand for nothing, or send a card link on Pro.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark it paid when the transfer shows up. That costs nothing on any plan and it always will, however many sails you hang.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send the link from the driveway and it is settled before the ladders are back on the roof rack and the offcuts are in the trailer.

  • Split it across the job

    Part when the posts go in, the rest when the sail is tensioned. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is booked.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

How far you cart a six metre sail.

A cut sail and a two person ladder job stop paying past a certain radius. Set the suburbs you cover and the page holds that line for you.

  • Your patch, your call

    Draw the area around the shed. An address outside it hears so on the spot rather than a week later when you finally ring back.

  • A yard job, not a road trip

    Two visits to the same address is the shape of this work, so the radius that suits one visit is not the radius that suits two.

  • Same rate across the patch

    Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables never quietly adds anything on for a longer run out to the far end of it.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your shade sail and awning business.

Scheduling

Measure days, post days and install days sit on one board, so you can see which weeks are already gone before you promise anyone a Saturday.

Bookings

One record per yard, from the first measure through the wait on the machinist to the day the sail is tensioned and the ladders go back on.

Online booking

Re-tensions, take-downs and awning services carry a set price and book themselves. A new sail still needs your tape on the fixing points.

Inbox

Their photo of the pergola posts, the quote you sent and the message about the side gate all sit on the job instead of across two phones.

Estimates

Quote the way you price a yard: spans, posts and footings, fabric and install as separate lines, with the total following underneath them.

Customers

The same house rings every autumn for the take-down and every spring for the re-hang. Every sail you have hung there sits on the one card.

Territories

Set the suburbs the trailer covers and the ones it does not. A cut sail and two ladders past that radius stops being a job worth having.

Team

Add the second installer, note who runs the tensioning, and give the office the run sheet without handing over the money screens.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money goes straight through to you.

Common questions.

Yes. Your page books the measure into a real gap in your week, only for addresses inside the suburbs you cover, and sends the confirmation and the reminder on its own.

Build one quote with the single sail, the two sail overlap and the folding arm awning priced beside each other. The customer picks one and signs on the phone, and the signed quote becomes a booked install. Priced options come with Pro.

Not at the moment they book. Once the job is on your board you can send a payment request for part of it and another for the balance on install day. Card payments and staged requests come with Pro; cash and bank transfer you record by hand are free.

Drag the job to the next still morning and the confirmation follows it across. Date overrides close out the weeks you are already flat out, so new measures stop landing in the middle of a run.

Yes. Both are ordinary priced jobs on your booking page, and the customer card lists every sail you have hung at that address, so you know what is coming down before you get there.

Nothing for the bookings themselves. Pro is what adds card payments and priced options on a quote, and the plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
