Labour Weekend fills your phone
The season turns over one long weekend. Every measure books into a gap you actually have, instead of a voicemail you get to on Tuesday night.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
A nor-wester moves the day, not the job
Fabric and wind do not mix. Shift the install to the next still morning and every confirmation goes back out without you writing one.
Learn moreNo install weeks left until January.
By November the install weeks are spoken for and the enquiries keep coming. The page says so and still takes the job with their dates on it.
They ask rather than leave
The request carries the address, the property and the weeks that suit, so you can deal with it at smoko instead of after tea.
One list, not four places
Voicemail, texts and a number on the back of a docket become one list, and nothing falls out of it when a week gets shuffled.
Nothing books without you
You accept or you do not. When an install cancels, the week opens and the first person waiting on it is already written down.
Two sails over the deck before the season gets away from us. Happy to wait a few weeks, we are in Mount Eden.
One sail, the overlap, or the louvre roof.
The deck you quote every week: one sail across the corner, two overlapping to hold the shade until late, or a louvre roof that stays up all winter.
Priced off the spans, not a hunch
Fabric, posts, hardware and install are separate lines, so when they ask why the overlap costs what it does, the answer is in front of them.
The measure is the product
Fixing points and falls right on the day means the number you quoted is the number you invoice. A sail cut wrong is your money, not theirs.
Away before you leave the kerb
The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked out front, which usually beats the next outfit coming out to look at all.
Options priced on the quote · Pro
Posts and footings, a heavier grade of fabric, a powder coat to match the joinery. Each one moves the quoted total the moment it is ticked, so nothing has to be re-typed after they decide.

The forecast moves the day for you.
A gusty morning takes an install off the board. Move it and the confirmation, the reminder and the second installer all move with it.
Drag it, and that is that
The install goes onto the next still morning and the customer is told without you having to write the message yourself.
Fill it with measures
A day too windy to hang fabric is a good day to knock over four measures nearby, and both sit on the same board.
Shut the weeks you are full
A date override closes an install week so new measures stop landing inside it. That works on any plan.
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 deck
Measured on a booked visit, quoted with the fabric priced as a choice, and installed once it is back from the machinist.
Two sail overlap
Two sails and six fixing points to hold the shade past four. Priced as its own option so the customer sees what the second sail buys.
Pool shade for the summer
Booked in the spring rush and hung before the pool gets used, with the install week visible on the board before you promise it.
Louvre roof over the outdoor room
The frame, the louvres and the install go on as separate lines, and the whole thing is signed online rather than at the kitchen table.
Early childhood centre shade
A written number a committee can take to a meeting, an itemised quote, and an install booked into a term break.
Posts first, sail second
Concrete on one visit, hang on another. Two bookings against one job, so nothing is tensioned on footings that are still green.
Autumn take-down
A set price on your page so customers book their own take-down before the first proper storm rather than after it.
Re-tension after a blow
The requests arrive in one list with the address on each, so the ones on the same street get done on the same run.
Awning re-cover
The frame is fine, the fabric is not. Measured, priced and booked, with the last job on that house sitting on the customer card.
Motor service on a wind out awning
A short priced call that books into the gap between two installs, instead of being fitted in as a favour on a Saturday.
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.
Paid the day it goes up.
The money lands on install day. Record cash and transfers by hand for nothing, or send a card link on Pro before you pack the trailer.
Cash and transfer are free
Mark it paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and will keep costing nothing however busy the season gets.
Cards come with Pro
A link sent from the driveway is settled before the ladders are on the rack, which beats an invoice nobody opens until the weekend.
Split it across the job
Part on the post work, the rest on the tension. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is on your board.

How far the trailer goes with a sail on it.
Two visits to one address is the shape of this work, so the radius that suits a measure has to suit an install as well. Set it once.
Your area, your call
Draw the patch around the shed. An address outside it hears so straight away instead of waiting on a call that never comes.
Counted twice, not once
A measure and an install to the same street is two runs. The area you set is the one that has to pay for both of them.
One rate inside it
The price is the price wherever they are in your area. Bookables never quietly adds anything on for a longer drive out.

Common questions.
Yes. The measure books against your real availability, only for addresses inside the areas you cover, and the confirmation and the reminder go out on their own.
One quote, with the single sail, the two sail overlap and the louvre roof or awning priced beside each other. The customer compares them, signs online, and the accepted option becomes a booked install. Priced options come with Pro.
Not at the point they book. Once the job is on your board you can send a payment request for part of it and another for the balance after the install. Card payments and staged requests come with Pro; cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free.
Move the install to the next still morning and the confirmation follows it. Date overrides close out weeks you are already committed to, so new measures stop landing inside them.
Yes. Both are priced jobs customers book themselves, and the customer card shows every sail you have hung at that address so you know what is coming down.
Nothing for the bookings. Pro is what adds card payments and priced options on a quote, and the plan cards further down carry the numbers.
