Every job, owner, and dollar on one screen.

An operations dashboard for a fictional multi-crew contractor. Filter by stage, search, open a record, read its history, and add a note. This is the tool that replaces the spreadsheet everyone's afraid to touch.

Select a row to open its record. Notes stay in this browser session only.

Demonstration project. A fictional business and illustrative data, not a client engagement or a measured result.

What was built

The parts of an internal tool that make it stick.

01

Records that match how you talk

Clients, jobs, owners, and a timeline per job, modeled on how the office already describes work.

02

Views that answer questions

What's estimating? What's on hold? Each answer is one click, not a filter recipe.

03

Numbers you can trust

Open jobs, active value, pipeline, and holds are computed from the records, so they're never stale.

04

Works where the work happens

Rows open with the keyboard, the layout fits a phone, and nothing depends on hover.

What a project like this involves

An operations dashboard.

Typical: $25,000–$45,000 · 8–14 weeks

  • Requirements. Interviews with daily users. Your current spreadsheet is the best spec you have, and we read it closely.
  • Data model and design. Record types, roles, and clickable screens approved before build.
  • Build. A mainstream web stack, role-based access, imports from the spreadsheet, and integrations where useful.
  • Launch. Tested critical workflows, training, documentation, source transferred, and 60 days of defect fixes.
