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.
How it flows
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.
How it flows
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.
How it flows
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.
How it flows
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.
How it flows
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.
