A job’s path through Better Reno
Every step is one click from the last. Click a step to see it on a made-up job from the demo.
To-dos, the bell on your phone and the record of who did what run alongside every step. The walk-through has 13 steps.
What Better Reno takes care of for you
The things you no longer have to remember. Every feature card lists the rest.
Measure once
The take-off is done once and every quote, variation and job uses it. Change it and the quote shows which lines to update.
Linked both ways
Every quote line shows the measurement it uses, and every measurement shows the lines that use it.
Prices you can trust
Money to the cent, GST worked out once. A price change never touches a quote already made.
Product pictures by themselves
Paste a product link: the picture, name, brand, code and price come from the shop’s page.
Nothing forgotten
Lines with links and allowances are offered to the selections; what nobody measured yet is listed before the quote goes.
A budget that stays locked
The job’s budget comes from the accepted quote. The only way to change what the client pays is a variation they approve.
Orders and bills checked
Orders come from the budget lines, bills are matched to the orders, and anything over shows straight away.
A schedule that moves itself
Linked tasks follow, holidays and shutdowns are skipped, double bookings show in red.
Claims worked out
Progress claims from the stages and approved variations; overdue invoices in front of you.
The right person sees the right thing
Your own roles: a carpenter sees his jobs and never your margins, checked on the server.
Told the moment it matters
A client approves, a bill is over, a task is moved: the bell and your phone tell you.
Every change recorded
Who did what and when, on every quote, job, order and bill. Nothing is ever deleted.
Everything it does
Ten areas, each with its own page of features and pictures.
Clients and sales
From the first phone call to a happy client who sends you their friends.
