Custom tools for trades: quotes, jobs and photos

Custom tools built around how your business already works: the quoting, the job records, the photos, the stock. £1,200 to build and then £49 a month, or £149 a month with no build fee on a twelve month term. If you spend hours on paperwork, this is the part that gives you your evenings back.

What we build

Whatever you are currently doing twice. Most of these start as a spreadsheet somebody keeps forgetting to fill in, or a folder of photos nobody can find anything in.

  • Job organisation
  • Photo records
  • Inventory and quote builders
  • Automated quotes

What it costs

£1,200 to build then £49 a month, or £149 a month with no build fee on a 12 month term. Two ways to the same tool: pay for the build and keep the monthly small, or pay nothing up front and more each month. The second one exists because a tool that saves you a day a week should not need a thousand pounds before it saves you anything.

How it sits against the website plans

Separately. Online, Managed and Growth are the website ladder and a tool is not on it, so nothing here changes what you pay for a site. Both prices are on the prices page, and if you want the website first that is websites for tradespeople.

Where to start

Ring and describe the job you keep doing on a Sunday evening. If it can be built, we will say what it would take and what it would cost. If a spreadsheet would do it faster and cheaper, we will say that too.

Questions people ask first

Is it a one off cost or monthly?

Either. £1,200 to build it and then £49 a month, or £149 a month with no build fee on a twelve month term. The monthly covers hosting, backups, security updates, fixes and small changes either way.

Is a custom tool part of the website plans?

No. Online, Managed and Growth cover the website and the search work. A tool is priced on its own, and you can have one without a website from us.

Does the lead guarantee cover a custom tool?

No. The refund guarantee is a Growth term, and it covers the website and Google Business Profile, not a tool bought on its own. A custom tool is priced and delivered separately from the website plans.

Would you build the same tool for a competitor of mine?

Only if you are not already a Growth client. While you are on Growth, the one trade per patch promise means we will not take on another business in your trade in your patch at all, whatever they buy from us, a tool included. Bought on its own without Growth, a tool does not carry that protection.

What does the monthly fee cover?

Hosting, backups, security updates, fixes and small changes. A tool nobody maintains stops working the first time something it depends on changes. Larger new features are quoted separately, before any work starts.

How quickly will you get back to me?

Send an enquiry on a weekday and you will hear back the same day.

What clients say about this service

  • 5 out of 5

    “Ben at Picsel built us a custom eBay listing tool for our clearance business in Hayle. Listing stock used to eat a full afternoon, photographing everything then writing up items one at a time. Now it's done in minutes and nothing sits around unlisted. We're getting three times as many items live each week and sales have followed. He understood exactly how our business runs and built the tool around it. If your company sells on eBay, get him to build you one.”
