# Custom Business Tools for Local Service Companies

Small tools that solve expensive problems. Micro-software, not enterprise consulting. We find the repetitive work and the leaky workflow, then build a simple tool around the way your business already works.

On the Growth plan, small tools and automations are included within scope — positioned as outcomes, not billable hours.

## What we build

- **Quote tools** — Instant quote calculators and budget qualification.
- **Photo & video intake** — Customers upload the problem so your team knows what they're walking into.
- **AI visualizers** — Homeowners upload their kitchen or yard and see what the finished work could look like.
- **Follow-up systems** — Estimates that haven't been accepted get followed up automatically.
- **Review systems** — Finished job triggers a review request at the perfect moment.
- **Customer portals** — History, upcoming service, invoices, warranty information.
- **Referral systems** — Make it effortless for happy customers to send neighbors.
- **Service reminders** — Water heaters, HVAC tune-ups, gutter cleanings — without a manual list.
- **Dashboards** — Leads, estimate requests, confirmed revenue, cost vs return.
- **Internal workflows** — The repetitive thing your office staff does every week, automated.
- **Booking & intake** — Address, service type, square footage, access, budget range.
- **Qualification forms** — Insurance status, property age, system details before the callback.

2. We build a working version — not a mockup.
3. We measure it — usage, time saved, jobs won.
4. We keep improving it.

## Frequently asked questions

**What makes a good qikSite tool?**
It solves one specific problem, has an obvious business benefit, and can be explained in a single sentence. It should be inexpensive for us to build, reusable across similar clients where possible, and produce measurable usage or outcome data.

**How much does a custom tool cost?**
On the Growth plan, small tools and automations are included within scope. Larger or unusual systems may be quoted separately as custom development.

**Will you build anything we ask for?**
No. We don't build full ERPs, massive CRMs, complex accounting software, or mission-critical systems needing enterprise support. The value is in small tools that solve expensive problems.

**Do you integrate with the software we already use?**
Yes, wherever it makes sense — Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Stripe, and existing CRMs.
