Sell by the foot, order by the stick. Quote by the linear foot, share a real nearby install when a prospect is on the fence, and let the app work out what goes on the truck.
Tag a finished install and it becomes a pin on your install map. When a prospect is on the fence, share the nearest real example by address — product tag, street and city, no house numbers or names — so they're picturing an actual job, not a rendering.
Each spacing item carries bulbs-per-foot, so the quote's "On the truck" panel turns 142 LF into bulbs, strings, channel sticks, amp points, amp wire, tees, signal wire and watts — and picks the power supply sized at 70% load. Cost per foot rolls up from the bill of materials, so the margin on the quote is the real one.
Group two or three quotes — 12" against 9" spacing, roofline only against roofline plus accents — under one comparison link with a cover page. The customer picks online, signs, pays the deposit, and the winner becomes the job.
The takeoff and the install map were built for a permanent-LED install business before anything else in the app, and it shows.
Twenty bulbs a string. Channel in 115-inch sticks. Fifty bulbs per amp injection point, fifty feet of amp wire per point, 0.65 ft of signal wire per foot, 0.72 W a bulb, and a supply that runs at no more than 70% of its rating. Enter the feet; the panel shows what the job consumes and what has to be on the van, both. Over 500 W it says "design required" instead of guessing.
Tag a finished install and it becomes a pin. When a prospect wants to see one in person, type their address and share the nearest examples — product tag, street and city, no house numbers, no names.
Log the warranty on the job with its term. Active, expiring and expired sit on their own list, so the service call a year later starts from the record, not from memory.
Every item is a screen you can open the day you sign in.
Quote, takeoff, install, invoice, warranty — one record from the first estimate to the service call three years later.
Tag a finished install on the job and it becomes a pin. When a prospect wants to see one in person, share the nearest examples by address — product tag, street and city, no house numbers or names.
It reads bulbs-per-foot from each catalog item, so 12", 9" and 6" spacing each come out right. The constants — 20 bulbs a string, 115-inch channel, 50 bulbs an amp point, 0.72 W a bulb, 70% supply loading — are named in one place and tested. Above 500 W it refuses to pick a supply and says the job needs a design.
Yes. Put two or more quotes for the same customer in a packet — pick-one, or all-together — and send one link. It carries photos, prices and deposits, and the customer signs and pays online. Save the packet as a template and reuse it per client.
