Sound familiar?
- "Calls, forms, Facebook messages and texts land in different places."
- "I send the quote, get busy, and forget to follow up."
- "The bank balance looks fine, but I don't know which jobs made money."
- "I finish the job, invoice later, then chase the balance."
What changes
See where your business stalls, and fix it
Ask Claude about your business and it answers from your own numbers. You spend less time guessing and more time fixing what's actually costing you jobs.
"Which jobs am I losing?"On a live painting account: 81% of jobs under $2,000 won, about 1 in 10 over $10,000. The big jobs were the room to grow.
"Which follow-up gets answered?"A short "still thinking it over?" email: 42% replied. The longer one: 12%.
"Which lead sources actually close?"Close rate and job value by source, from your Knetix IQ pipeline.
"Where do my jobs run over?"Labor, paint or sundries across your finished jobs, biggest first.
No more estimates lost to a forgotten follow-up
Every new lead gets a reply right away, and you get a "call now" alert. Once the estimate goes out, follow-up runs for about five weeks until the client decides.
When a client opens your estimate, you get an alert, so you can call while they're looking at it.
Price the job the way you paint it
Price room by room while you're still with the client, or measure a commercial job straight from the plans. Paint is figured by product and coat, then pooled into the gallons you'll actually buy.
You see your labor, materials, overhead and profit before you hit send.
Know what every job made
Snap a photo of each receipt and the lines fill in for you to check. When the job is done, you see profit against the bid, down to paint bought against paint estimated.
Online payments run through Stripe and sync to QuickBooks Online, so your books stay current.

Questions painters ask
Do I have to set it up?No. We build it and keep it running.
Will my crews need an app?No. The crew lead gets a text with the job details when you book it.
No signal in the basement?Your estimate stays on your phone. Save or send it once you're back online.
Do I need Claude?Yes, for your field assistant. Bring your own Claude account and we connect it right into the system, so it can answer questions about your jobs, costs and pipeline, draft emails and book crews. The rest of the system runs without it.
See it on a real account.
We'll show you a lead coming in and getting answered, an estimate going out, a crew getting booked and an invoice getting paid, then what the job made.
