Quote from measured sizes, build only the approved revision, and close each site on a snag list.

Interior firms, kitchen makers, showrooms, glass and window companies, painters, waterproofers and installers sell work that is measured, quoted, fitted and handed over. Measurements become quotes, quotes change on a call, and the factory, the store and the site crew must all work from the latest version. These trades need one file per project, with revisions, materials and approvals on it.

At a glance

Twelve trades sit here. Some design and build interiors, some fabricate windows, glass and kitchens, and some sell tiles, flooring and furniture from a showroom. Others fit or treat a building: air conditioning, home automation, painting and waterproofing.

The work starts with a tape measure. A room, a window opening, a kitchen wall or a terrace is measured, and the quote follows by square foot, running foot, module or opening. Sizes then go to a factory, a glass processor, a dealer’s godown or a crew. A transposed figure or an old revision is paid for in remade frames, wasted carcasses or an extra trip.

The job closes slowly. Handover waits on a snag list, a ponding test, a commissioning record or a final measurement, and the last payment waits on handover. Warranties and AMCs then run for years, and the proof of what was applied or installed is needed long after the crew has left.

The trades

Software for each kind of home improvement and interiors business.

Interior designers

An interior design firm runs on BOQs, vendor orders for plywood and laminate, and carpenters spread across several sites. Every client change moves the budget, and most changes are agreed on WhatsApp. The interior design management system holds the BOQ, materials, site progress and client payments for each project, so you can see where material and margin went.

Commercial interior fit-out contractors

A commercial fit-out contractor builds offices, showrooms and shops for companies, on a BOQ and a tight handover date. Work is split across carpentry, electrical, HVAC, flooring and painting teams, each paid on measurement. Our interior design and construction products hold the BOQ, work orders, running bills, materials and site progress for each project. Snagging and handover are added to them as custom work.

Modular kitchen companies

A modular kitchen is built to millimetres and changed on a phone call. The kitchen software keeps every design revision with its quote, and turns only the approved one into a cutting and hardware list. Site points and the snag list are held through to handover. When the customer picks a different chimney, the change sits on the revision the factory reads.

Furniture showrooms

Furniture showrooms sell display pieces, made-to-order sofas and beds, and office furniture for whole floors, with fabric choices, factory orders, delivery and fitting chased by phone. The ready showroom product, adapted to your process, ties the quotation, the factory order, the delivery slot and the balance payment together.

Windows and doors companies

A project with sixty windows is sixty small orders, each with its own size, opening type, glass and mesh. Software built for you would follow every opening from the surveyor’s tape to the day it is fixed, and release the cutting list from the final measurement only. The factory, the glass processor and the crew would all work from that sheet.

Flooring companies

Flooring is sold by the square foot and bought by the box, and the gap between the two is where margin goes. The software quotes from measured rooms using your own wastage rule, counts stock by shade lot, and follows boxes out to site and back. A year later the showroom can still see which lot a customer’s floor came from.

Tile and sanitaryware showrooms

Tile and sanitaryware showrooms sell by the box and by the square foot, where the shade lot and the calibre decide as much as the design. Twelve boxes short is a serious problem. The system quotes room by room and holds stock by lot, shade and size across showroom and godown. It tracks what is on order from the company and follows every tempo out to the site.

HVAC contractors

An HVAC contractor is paid for the installation and then for years of AMC visits, gas top-ups and breakdown calls, most of them in summer. The HVAC service management software keeps every installed unit by site, serial and tonnage, separates comprehensive contracts from labour-only ones, and logs calls and gas used against the right machine. Contracts are flagged before they end.

Home automation companies

A home automation company designs room by room, quotes switches, sensors, controllers and cameras, and depends on wiring being done correctly before the wall is closed. Software built for this by GullySystem would keep each home’s device list, wiring plan and commissioning record, track installation stages, and log AMC visits and support calls. The next engineer could then find the gateway login.

Waterproofing contractors

A waterproofing contractor is judged in the rain, often three monsoons after the crew has left. The software records each leak inspection with photos, prices the treatment by system and area, and keeps every guarantee with its area and end date. Surface preparation, primer, coats and the protection screed are logged as they finish. A complaint in June is then checked against what was applied.

Learn more

Painting contractors

A painting contractor measures walls and quotes by the square foot. Paint is bought by shade code on the dealer’s credit, and the mestri’s gang is paid by the day. The painting contractor software measures and quotes room by room, tracks tins issued against each site, and works out wages from attendance. Snags close before the final bill. Recording shade codes per wall is custom work added for you.

Learn more

Glass and façade companies

Toughened glass cannot be cut after it leaves the furnace, so a wrong figure on a cutting list means a fresh order and a long wait. GullySystem would build software that tracks every panel from the glass schedule to the processor to its mark on the elevation. Aluminium, ACP and structural silicone would be held against the project, and each RA bill built from measured area.

What they share

Where these businesses lose time and money.

The old revision reaches the factory

A changed size, shade or hardware choice is agreed on a call, and the factory or the cutter works from the earlier file. The remake is yours to pay.

Upgrades are absorbed, not billed

A better board, a quartz counter, extra hardware or a changed shade is approved in a chat, and the bill shows the original quote. The difference comes from margin.

Stock and shade lots are not matched

Extra boxes, plywood sheets or tins come from another lot or another site, and nobody records it. Two balances go wrong.

Crews reach sites that are not ready

A team is sent before plaster, a countertop waits on the plumber, or material has not arrived. The day is still paid.

Handover and warranty proof are thin

Snag lists live in a chat, and nobody can show later what was applied, when, and over which area. Payments and callbacks both suffer.

What the software does

What we build across home improvement and interiors.

Measured sizes as the base of every quote

Record rooms, openings, walls or terraces with their sizes on a phone at the site. Price from your own rate list by area, running foot, module or opening, with wastage applied by your rule.

Versions kept, one marked approved

Save each revision of a design, BOQ or quote with its date, and mark the one the client approved, so the factory, the processor and the site crew read only that version.

Material issued against a project

Record plywood, boxes, tins, glass, profiles or silicone received, issued and returned for each project, by lot or shade where it matters, and set use beside what the quote allowed.

Orders to factories and vendors tracked

Raise orders to dealers, factories, processors and chemical suppliers per project, and follow each from order to delivery, so a salesperson or supervisor sees the status before a promise is made.

Site readiness checked before a crew goes

Confirm that plaster, civil work, plumbing points or wiring are ready before a fitting or installation crew is assigned, then log each item as it is installed, with photographs.

Snag list, stage bills and warranty

Close snags item by item against a name, and link each stage bill to work actually done. Keep the warranty or AMC against the area and unit it covers, with its end date.

Common questions

Questions home improvement and interiors businesses ask.

Does the software replace our design or cutting tools?

No. You keep drawing in AutoCAD, SketchUp or your own tool, and cutting optimisation stays with your fabrication software. The project record holds the drawings, versions and approvals around them.

Can one product serve a designer, a showroom and a contractor?

Not on its own. The interior design product fits designers, kitchen makers and fit-out firms, and the tile showroom product fits tile and flooring dealers. Painting, waterproofing, HVAC and furniture have products of their own, while windows, glass and home automation are built to order.

Will quotes and bills reach Tally?

Not built in. Quotes, stage bills and vendor payments stay in the project record, and a file for your accountant is scoped during implementation and priced separately.

Is software worth it for a few small jobs a month?

Often not. A quoting app and a notebook can serve a painter doing a few homes a month, and a shared folder suits a designer with a couple of projects a year. The need begins with several crews on several sites.
