The survey books itself in the warm week
One bright bank holiday and the phone goes. Each survey lands in a slot you genuinely have, which spares you an evening of ringing people back.

Rain moves the fitting, not the customer
An awning does not go on a wet wall. Shift it to Thursday and the confirmation and the reminder both follow, which saves three phone calls.
Learn moreFully booked until the end of July.
Two warm weeks and the fitting diary is gone, while the surveys keep coming. The page admits it and takes the enquiry anyway.
They ask rather than move on
The request arrives with the address, the wall and the weeks that suit them, which is enough to answer it in a tea break.
One list rather than four
Voicemail, the contact form and a note on the dash become a single list, and nothing quietly falls out of it when a week shifts.
Nothing books itself in
You accept or you do not. A cancelled fitting frees the week, and whoever asked first is already written down waiting for it.
Two sails over the deck before the season gets away from us. Happy to wait a few weeks, we are in Chorlton.
Open, semi cassette, or full cassette with a motor.
The same patio, quoted three ways: the open awning on brackets, the semi cassette that keeps the fabric cleaner, or the full cassette on a motor.
Priced off the wall, not a rate card
Projection, width, fixings and fitting are separate lines, so when the cassette price is queried the difference is there to point at.
The survey is the job
Get the projection and the fixings right on the day and the number you quoted is the number you invoice, which is rather the point.
Away before you reach the van
The quote leaves from the phone at the kerb, which tends to be before the next firm has managed to arrange a visit at all.
Options priced on the quote · Pro
A wind sensor, an LED bar, a remote rather than a crank, brick fixings rather than timber. Each one moves the quoted total as it is ticked, so the figure never has to be typed again.

A wet week rearranges itself.
Fabric and fixings do not go up in the rain. Move the fitting and the confirmation, the reminder and the second fitter all move with it.
Drag it and it is settled
The fitting goes to the next dry morning and the customer is told, without you writing the same message three times over.
Surveys fill the gap
A day too wet to fit is a decent day to get four surveys done nearby, and both kinds of visit sit on the same board.
Close the weeks you are full
A date override shuts a fitting week so new surveys stop landing inside it. That works on any plan, Pro or not.
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
Retractable awning over the patio doors
Surveyed on a booked visit, quoted with the cassette and the motor as choices, and fitted once the frame arrives from the supplier.
Awning re-cover on a working frame
The frame stays on the wall, the fabric changes. Measured, priced and booked, with the last job at that address already on the record.
Beer garden awning for a pub
Itemised so a landlord can see the frame, the fabric and the fitting separately, and signed on a phone between service times.
Nursery shade sail over the play area
A written number for a committee, an itemised quote, and a fitting booked into a half term when the children are not there.
Motor fault on a wind out awning
A short priced call that books into the gap between two fittings rather than being squeezed onto the end of a Friday.
Verandah canopy on the back of a terrace
Priced off the span and the fixings rather than a rate per metre, with the survey and the fitting sitting on one job record.
Glass room or canopy over a decking area
A bigger ticket quoted in tiers so the customer can see the canopy on its own against the canopy with sides.
Winter service and clean
A set price on the booking page in the quiet months, which is how a diary full of one off fittings turns into repeat work.
Shop front awning with the name on it
The frame, the printed fabric and the fitting go on as separate lines, so the artwork cost is never argued about afterwards.
Storm damage on a commercial canopy
The request arrives with the address and the photographs attached, so you know whether it is a call out or a replacement before you set off.
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 on the day it is wound out.
The balance lands at handover. Record cash and transfers by hand for nothing, or send a card link on Pro and let it see itself out.
Cash and transfer are free
Mark it paid when the transfer arrives. That costs nothing on any plan, and it goes on costing nothing at the busy end of summer.
Cards come with Pro
A link sent at the kerb is usually settled before the ladders are back on the roof bars, which is one fewer thing to chase.
Split across the job
Part when the frame is ordered, the rest at handover. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is booked.

How far the van goes with a frame in it.
Every awning is two journeys to the same address, so the radius has to pay twice over. Set the postcodes once and the page respects them.
Your patch, quietly enforced
Draw the area around the unit. Anything outside it is told so on the spot rather than after a week of not hearing back.
Counted twice over
A survey and a fitting are two runs to one house. The area that works for one of them is not always the one that works for both.
The same rate throughout
Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables adds nothing on for the far end of it, which saves an awkward conversation.

One app for the whole job
Everything you need to run your shade sail and awning business.
Common questions.
They can. The survey books against your real availability, only for postcodes you cover, and the confirmation and reminder go out without you doing anything about it.
One quote holds the open awning, the semi cassette and the full cassette with a motor, priced side by side. The customer compares them, signs online, and the option they accept becomes a booked fitting. Priced options come with Pro.
Not at the point of booking. Once the job is on the board you can send a payment request for part of it and another for the balance after fitting. Card payments and staged requests come with Pro; cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free.
You move them. Drag each fitting to a dry morning and the confirmations follow, and a date override closes a week you are already committed to so no new surveys land in it.
It does. A re-cover or a motor fault is a priced job customers book themselves, and the customer record shows what you fitted at that address and when.
Nothing for the bookings themselves. Pro is the part that adds card payments and priced options on a quote, and the plan cards below carry the numbers.
