Case study

Painting & Decorating Business Management App

A custom business management app that replaced paper, spreadsheets, and gut feel with one source of truth.

The problem

Holland Decorating was running their entire operation manually — estimates done by gut feel, quotes sent inconsistently, workforce scheduling on paper, and invoicing after the fact.

Our solution

FloAutomate built a bespoke web app covering the full job lifecycle: an intelligent estimation calculator, automated quote generation, drag-and-drop workforce scheduling, milestone invoicing with Stripe payments, and profit margin reporting. All accessible from any device on site.

The result

The business went from paper-based processes to a streamlined digital operation covering estimation through to payment.

Feature walkthrough

What it actually does

01 / 05

Intelligent estimation

A four-step calculator walks the team from job type through room dimensions to a fully itemised estimate, with VAT, room grouping, and a live total that updates as inputs change. No more under-quoting by gut feel.

02 / 05

Pipeline tracking

Every job flows through approved → scheduled → in progress → completed, with running totals at each stage. The team can see what's coming, what's earning, and where the bottleneck is — at a glance.

03 / 05

Drag-and-drop scheduling

Unassigned jobs sit at the top. Drag one onto a team member's day and it's scheduled, the worker is notified, and the calendar updates everywhere — on every device, in real time.

04 / 05

Customer ledger

Every customer, every job, every pound — one searchable view. Commercial and residential are separated, jobs and totals run alongside contact details, and adding a new customer takes seconds.

05 / 05

Milestone invoicing with Stripe

Invoices are generated per milestone, sent automatically, and reconciled against incoming Stripe payments. Outstanding, paid, and overdue totals stay live — chasing money becomes one click instead of a spreadsheet exercise.
