A blaster stripping rusted steel back to bare metal in New Zealand

Booking software for sandblasting businesses in New Zealand.

From the enquiry that turns up with photos of a rusted implement, through the soda-or-garnet quote, to the day the pot is loaded and the money lands.

Enquiries with the surface already on them

Nobody prices a blast off two photos. Your page asks what the metal is, roughly how big and what is on it before it turns into a job.

Smart scheduling

Shed days and farm days on one board

Work brought into the shed and work you take the truck out to sit on the same week, so the pot is never promised in two places at once.

Details & photos assessment

The pot is out for a fortnight.

Blasting books out in blocks, not hours. When there is nothing left this month the page still takes the enquiry, and takes the photos with it.

  • It asks the awkward questions

    What the metal is, roughly how big, how many coats and whether it has been blasted before. All of it lands before you price anything.

  • The photos land on the job

    The hole under the paint is on the record from the first message, so nobody is arguing about it with the truck already loaded.

  • One place to answer from

    The enquiry and the quote you sent back sit together, so nothing gets buried three screens into a thread on the other phone.

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

Trailer chassis back to bare steel. Photos of the pitting attached, plus what I think is on it. Can you price soda and grit both ways?

A set of implements brought in over winter.

Two ways to do the same gear: a soda strip that leaves the steel alone, or a garnet blast that cuts a key for the primer.

  • Priced off the steel, not a guess

    Metres, media, primer and containment are separate lines, so when the price gets queried you can point at the part it came from.

  • Containment is a line, not a favour

    Sheeting, shrouding and carting spent grit away is quoted where the customer can see it, which is the only way it gets paid for.

  • Sent before you leave the gate

    The quote goes off the phone while you are still parked at the shed, which is usually before the next mob has rung back.

  • Media and extras priced as options · Pro

    Containment, spent media taken away, primer before it goes back on the truck, pickup from the farm. Each is a priced option, and ticking one moves the quoted total rather than starting another phone call.

A boat trailer restoration, itemised with options and ready to send.

One record, first photo to final coat.

What the substrate is, what came off it, which media you used and what it cost, all on the job rather than in a folder on the office phone.

Built for your trade

Built for the surfaces you actually strip

Tractor implements and digger buckets

A winter shed full of gear at once. Quoted as one job with a run of lines rather than eight separate arguments about price.

Dairy shed plant and steelwork

Rails, gates and platework out of the shed between milkings, with the timing mattering more than the surface area does.

Boat trailers and marine gear

Salt gets under the paint and never leaves. Back to bare steel, primed the same day, and priced off the length.

Villa weatherboards and joinery

Soda at low pressure to lift old paint off timber without furring it. Slow work, and quoted by the day because it has to be.

Woolshed and farm building steel

Purlins, posts and roof steel done before the coating goes on, where access decides the price well before the metres do.

Wrought iron gates and railings

Brought into the yard so the media can be swept up rather than blown into the neighbour’s wash. Priced per panel.

Chassis and body shells

Soda on the panels, garnet on the rails. The owner says two coats and there are usually five under them.

Concrete and block cleaning

Paint and lichen off block walls without opening the surface up. Quoted off the wall area and the access, both.

Tanks and silo exteriors

On-site work with sheeting, a shroud and a day that starts and finishes around whatever else is running.

Deck and outdoor timber

Grey lifted off decking with soda instead of a sander, priced off the deck size the customer measured for you.

The shop that sends you work every winter.

Every job you have blasted for them, what was on the steel last time and the rate you gave, on one card instead of in last year's book.

The soda quote they never came back on.

Two media, two prices, and then silence. See which quote was opened and which was signed, so you know whether to order the pallet or make the call.

Pro

Paid for the blast, not chasing it.

The media is bought before the job and the money should not arrive a month after it. Record cash and transfers for nothing, or take cards on Pro.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and it always will.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send a card link when the gear is back on their truck. The money goes to your account, not into ours on the way through.

  • Ask for part of it early

    Once the job is booked you can request part before the pallet of grit is ordered and the rest at the end. Staged requests come with Pro.

How far the compressor goes.

Half this trade comes to your shed and half of it does not. Set what the truck covers so a job over the range cannot book itself in.

  • Draw the patch around the shed

    Addresses outside it are told straight away instead of a week later, which is better for them and a lot better for you.

  • Drop-off work travels nowhere

    Shed jobs book to your address rather than theirs, so they never count against the day the truck is already out on farm.

  • Same rate across the patch

    Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables never quietly adds anything on for a longer run out.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your sandblasting business.

Scheduling

Blast days, primer windows and the run out to the farm sit on one board, so the pot and the compressor are never promised to two jobs at once.

Bookings

One record per job, from the photos on the first enquiry through the soda-or-garnet decision to the day the gear goes back on the truck.

Online booking

Send blasting to a details-and-photos request instead of a straight booking, because nobody has ever priced four coats of enamel off a thumbnail.

Inbox

Messages, the quote you sent back and the photos of the pitting all sit on the job, rather than across a text thread and two different phones.

Estimates

Quote the way you price it: metres of steel, the media you are using and the containment, each on its own line with the total sitting under it.

Customers

The engineering shop that sends you gear every winter keeps one card, with every job you have done, the rate you gave and what was on the steel.

Territories

Set what the truck covers and what it does not, so an address two valleys past the last decent job never books itself into your week.

Team

Add whoever is on the gun and whoever is on the pot, hand them the day, and keep the money screens to whoever does the invoicing.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money lands in your account.

Common questions.

Yes. Route blasting to a details-and-photos request rather than an instant booking and set the questions yourself: what the metal is, roughly how big, what is on it and whether anyone has blasted it before. The enquiry then arrives with enough to price it.

You can. They go on as options with their own prices and the total moves when the customer picks one. The option they signed for sits on the record instead of in a conversation the two of you remember differently.

Yes, each with its own quantity and rate. Sheeting a yard, shrouding gear near a milking shed and carting spent grit away is real work and real disposal cost, and breaking it out is the only way it stops disappearing into one number.

Once the job is booked you can send a payment request for part of it and another for the balance at the end. Staged requests and card payments come with Pro. Cash and bank transfer you record by hand cost nothing on any plan.

It does. Drop-off jobs are booked to your own address, so they take no travel and do not count against the day the truck is out. Service areas then only govern the work that actually goes somewhere.

Drag the job to another day and everyone booked behind it is told. Moving work around the day is on every plan, including the free one, because a blasting diary you cannot change is not much use in this weather.
