Services

Six things I build, each with a real example

Pick the one closest to your problem. If none fit, the contact form has a 'not sure yet' option.

Field quoting & estimating tools

Quote on-site from a tablet. Send a branded PDF before you leave the driveway.

Who it’s for: Trades and home-services businesses that measure, price and quote in the customer's home: blinds, cabinetry, flooring, HVAC, landscaping.

Typically $7,500–$20,000

What you get

  • Measurement entry designed for a phone or tablet, with live pricing as you type
  • Your own pricing rules (minimums, per-metre, per-panel, options and add-ons)
  • Branded estimate and invoice PDFs emailed to the customer
  • A customer link to review, request changes and confirm online

Example: Measure Blinds prices ten blind types by formula and lets Blinds Nisa customers confirm by email.

Internal tools & dashboards

Replace the shared spreadsheet with something your staff actually use.

Who it’s for: Teams of 5–50 that track hours, logs, jobs, inventory or approvals by hand.

Typically $5,000–$12,000

What you get

  • Role-based logins for staff and managers
  • Fast forms on mobile, searchable history on desktop
  • Exports and summaries for payroll, reporting or audits
  • Hosted, backed up and monitored

Example: Employee Log Keeper handled 30+ staff and 1,000+ entries in its first two months at PLAY.

Customer portals

Let customers see their order, pay a deposit and pick an install time without calling you.

Who it’s for: Businesses that field the same status calls every day.

Typically $4,000–$10,000 as an add-on

What you get

  • A private link per order with a progress tracker
  • Deposit and balance instructions that appear only when money is owed
  • Install-time confirmation and change requests
  • Automatic emails at each step

Example: Blinds Nisa customers confirm estimates, see a 5-step tracker and accept installation windows online.

Invoicing, payments & documents

Estimates that become invoices, receipts that send themselves, warranties on file.

Who it’s for: Owners who still build invoices in Word and chase e-Transfers by hand.

Typically $4,000–$12,000

What you get

  • Estimate → invoice → receipt flow with a running balance
  • e-Transfer or Stripe payment matching
  • Warranty certificates and other generated documents
  • Tax handled correctly (HST) and locked prices once a quote is sent

Example: Calculo is an invoicing product with a formula engine, Stripe payments and PDF generation.

Automation & integrations

The reminders, expiries and hand-offs that fall through the cracks, done by software.

Who it’s for: Anyone paying staff to copy data between tools.

From $1,500 per integration

What you get

  • Scheduled jobs (nightly expiries, weekly digests, reminders)
  • Webhooks from your payment, email or booking providers
  • Connections to the tools you already use
  • Logs so you can see what ran and when

Example: A daily job expires stale estimates; a webhook records e-Transfers against the right order.

Websites & lead capture

A fast site that loads on a phone in under a second and lands leads in your inbox.

Who it’s for: Local businesses whose site is slow, dated, or not bringing in enquiries.

From $1,800

What you get

  • Up to 8 pages, written with you, built for mobile first
  • Contact and quote-request forms with spam protection
  • Hosting, domain, SSL and analytics set up
  • Edits included for the first month

Example: The Blinds Nisa site captures quote requests for a custom window-coverings shop in Ottawa.
