Sample engagement
The fourteen-staff joinery that doubled win-rate.
Fourteen staff. 90 quotes a quarter. Spec sheets in email, costs in three spreadsheets.
A fourteen-staff bespoke joinery quoted from a heritage Excel that nobody fully understood. Spec sheets sat in inboxes for days while the estimator chased timber prices. Two-week build: a custom estimator hooked into live timber and hardware rates, BOM-driven cut list pushed to the saw, install diary on the foreman's tablet. Six months in: quote-to-confirm down from eight days to two, win-rate up thirty-one percent, forty-two thousand pounds of margin recovered.
How we measure: Quote-cycle timestamps pulled from the new estimator vs the prior CRM (n = 184 quotes); win-rate baseline from the two quarters before go-live; margin recovery reconciled against Xero job-costing reports at month 6.
