Smart scheduling

A storm day moves without a single call

Shade sail site measure

Booked into September by Memorial Day.

Two hot weekends and your install calendar is gone while the measures keep coming. The page tells them so and captures the job anyway.

  • They ask instead of calling the next guy

    The request comes in with the address, the wall or the deck, and the weeks that work for them, so you can answer it over lunch.

  • Every overflow lead in one list

    Voicemail, the web form and a name on a napkin become one list you can work through, and nothing gets lost when a week shifts.

  • Nothing books without your yes

    You accept or you decline. When an install cancels, the week opens up and the first person waiting is already right 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 East Austin.

Manual, motorized, or the fixed patio cover.

The same deck, quoted three ways: the manual retractable, the motorized unit with a wind sensor, or the fixed cover that stays up year round.

  • Priced off the wall, not a rate sheet

    Projection, width, fixings and install are separate lines, so when someone asks why the motorized unit costs more, you can show them.

  • The measure is the whole job

    Get the projection and the fixings right on the day and the number you quoted is the number you invoice. Fabric cut wrong is your money.

  • Sent before you leave the driveway

    The estimate goes out from your phone at the curb, which is usually before the next company has even scheduled a visit.

  • Options priced on the quote · Pro

    A wind sensor, an LED light bar, a remote instead of a hand crank, heavier fixings for a stucco wall. Every option moves the estimate total the moment your customer checks it, so nothing gets retyped.

A motorised awning quote, itemised and ready to send.

Weather reshuffles the week for you.

A windy forecast takes an install off the board. Move it and the confirmation, the reminder and your second installer all move with it.

  • Drag it and you are done

    The install goes to the next clear morning and your customer is told automatically, so nobody gets a text at nine at night.

  • Fill the gap with measures

    A day too windy to hang fabric is a great day to knock out four measures nearby, and both sit on the same board.

  • Block the weeks you are slammed

    A date override closes a full install week so new measures stop landing in the middle of it, 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

Retractable awning over a back deck

The measure books online, the estimate goes out with the motor priced as an upgrade, and the install lands when the unit ships in.

Sun sail over a pool deck

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

Restaurant patio awning

Frame, valance and install itemized so an owner can approve it fast, and signed on a phone between the lunch and dinner rush.

Window awnings across a front elevation

Six small units on one estimate, each one a line, so a homeowner can drop two of them without you rewriting the whole thing.

HOA approved shade structure

A written, itemized number a board can vote on, with the accepted version recorded so nobody relitigates it in the fall.

Re-cover on an existing frame

The frame is fine after nine summers, the fabric is not. Measured, priced and booked, with the original install on the customer record.

Motor repair on a wind out awning

A short priced service call that books into the gap between two installs instead of getting squeezed onto a Saturday.

School or daycare shade structure

Quoted in tiers so the district can compare the basic structure against the taller one, and installed during a break week.

Posts set now, sail hung later

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

Storm damage call after a front moves through

Requests arrive with the address and photos attached, so you know whether it is a re-tension or a replacement before you load the truck.

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

Get paid the day it goes up.

The balance lands at handover, and you should not have to chase it. Record cash and checks by hand for free, or send a card link on Pro.

  • Cash and checks are free

    Mark the job paid when the check clears. That costs nothing on any plan, no matter how many awnings you hang this summer.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send a link from the driveway and it is usually settled before the ladders are back on the rack. We never hold your money.

  • Split it across the job

    Part when the fabric is ordered, the rest at handover. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is booked.

How far the truck goes with a frame on it.

Every awning is two trips to the same address, so your radius has to pay for both. Set the areas once and the booking page holds them.

  • Your service area, your call

    Draw the area around the shop. Anyone outside it hears so right away instead of waiting on a callback that never comes.

  • Counted twice, not once

    A measure and an install are two runs to one house, so the radius that works for a single visit may not work for the pair.

  • One price across the whole area

    Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables never quietly adds anything for a longer drive to the far edge of it.

One app for the whole job

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

Scheduling

Measures, post days and install days share one board with the factory lead time between them, so you know which weeks are gone before you promise one.

Bookings

One record per address, from the first measure through the wait on the fabric to the day the awning is wound out and handed over.

Online booking

Re-covers, service calls and seasonal take-downs carry a set price and book themselves. A new install still needs your tape on the wall.

Inbox

Their photos of the fascia, the estimate you sent and the note about the gate code all live on the job instead of in your text messages.

Estimates

Estimate the way you price: frame, fabric, motor and install on their own lines, with the total following instead of standing on its own.

Customers

A re-cover is the same house nine summers later. What you installed, which fabric went on and what you charged sit on one record.

Territories

Set the areas you serve and the ones you do not. Every awning is two trips to one address, and both of them have to be worth making.

Team

Add your second installer, note who handles the wiring on a motorized unit, and give the office the schedule without the money screens.

Payments

Cash and checks you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and we never hold your money on the way to you.

Common questions.

Yes. Your booking page puts the measure in a slot you really have, only for addresses inside the areas you serve, and sends the confirmation and reminder for you.

Put them on one estimate: the manual retractable, the motorized unit with a wind sensor, and the fixed patio cover, priced side by side. Your customer picks one and signs on their phone, and the accepted option 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 after install. Card payments and staged requests come with Pro, and cash or check you record by hand is free.

You move it. Drag each install to the next clear morning and the confirmations go back out on their own, and a date override closes weeks you are already committed to.

It does. A re-cover or a motor repair is a priced job customers book themselves, and their record shows exactly what you installed at that address and when.

Your bookings are free. Pro is what adds card payments and priced options on an estimate, and the plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
