Job management software for roofers.

The old way vs grafter.ly

The enquiry

The old way

One night of wind and the phone fills up with calls, texts and voicemails.

With grafter.ly

Forward the email and it's a job in your list, details filled in, what's still missing listed.

The quote

The old way

You've been up the ladder and taken your photos, but the quote waits until you're home.

With grafter.ly

You build it from your price list on your phone and send it the same day.

The wait

The old way

They're getting two other roofers round, and you don't hear a thing.

With grafter.ly

They accept it online and you see it the moment they do.

The invoice

The old way

It waits for the next rained-off day, along with all the others.

With grafter.ly

You raise it from the quote in a couple of taps.

Getting paid

The old way

It's a big bill, and chasing it means another awkward phone call.

With grafter.ly

With Stripe connected, every invoice carries a card link, and the reminders send themselves.

One screen shows every roof you've got on the go.

Every job you haven't finished sits in one list, from the first phone call through to getting paid. When the weather moves your week around, you can still see exactly where everything stands.

Photos and deposits

Their photos before you climb anything.

You cannot price a roof from a phone call, and some of the jobs you drive out to were never going to be yours.

  • The customer sends photos of the roof outside and the damage inside, on a page with no app and no account.
  • A guide price before you go, so the trip you make is a trip worth making.
  • A deposit taken the moment they accept, before the scaffold goes up.
  • CIS off the labour when you are working for a contractor rather than a homeowner.

The quote your customer gets.

They open a link on their phone, see the price laid out properly, and accept it online. There's no app to download and no account to make. You see it the moment they do.

Common questions

How do enquiry emails become jobs?
Forward the email to your grafter.ly address and it becomes a job with the customer and work details filled in. You check the details before anything goes to the customer.
How do I check an enquiry has what I need to quote?
The job is matched to the kind of work it is and lists what you still need to price it. Tap Ask the customer and the questions go out by email under your business name; they reply straight to you, or answer on a page with photos. If the job usually needs a look first, they can pick a morning or afternoon from your free days.
Can I take a deposit before starting?
Yes. Set a deposit on the quote and it's taken by card when the customer accepts, once Stripe is connected. The rest is invoiced when the work's done.
Does my customer need an app to accept a quote?
No. They open a link on their phone, see the price laid out, and type their name to accept. You see it the moment they do.
How much does it cost?
£25 a month after your first 30 days free. No card details to start, no contract, no setup fee. Card payments carry Stripe's fee and we add nothing on top.
Does it work with Xero?
Yes. Connect Xero once and every sent invoice copies across with the customer attached. When a payment is recorded in Xero, the invoice here shows paid too.
Can I bring my existing jobs in?
Yes. Upload an Excel or CSV, check the preview, and your jobs are in. You don't need to import anything to start, though. One forwarded enquiry is enough.

Try it on your next enquiry.

Set it up yourself in minutes. No sales call, no card, no drip emails.
