EN for fitting windows, doors and shading
A window fitting system that keeps the measurement, the order and the date in one place
With windows the fitting is rarely the hard part. The hard part is the road from measuring through the quote to the order at the maker, during which the same dimensions get retyped three times and one of them ends up wrong.
A system for a custom window fitting firm starts at €1,400 and the first version is usually ready within a week. It keeps the measurement by opening, turns it into both the quote and the order for the maker without retyping any dimensions, and tracks the delivery date alongside the plan for your fitting crews.
Where the costliest mistakes happen
Dimensions get retyped three times
From paper into the quote, from the quote into the order. One transposed digit means a window you throw away.
The measurement sits on paper in the van
When you need to check what an opening was, you search by the customer name and sometimes it never turns up.
The fitting date depends on the delivery
You promise the customer a date before you know when the windows arrive. Then you call and apologise.
Add-ons get priced too late
Sills, insect screens, blinds and the masonry making good. Together they are a large share of the price and they often miss the first quote.
What a system like this includes
The measurement recorded by opening right there on site, with dimensions, the opening type, the hinge side and a photo of the opening. Both the quote and the order come out of it, so a dimension is written once instead of three times.
A quote that carries the add-ons from the start, meaning sills, screens, shading and making good. That is the most common reason a final invoice surprises the customer, and the surprise goes away when it sits in the quote from the first version.
Tracking of the order at the maker and the expected delivery date, tied to the fitting calendar. You confirm the date to the customer when you know it, not when you hope for it.
A plan for the fitting crews that survives a reshuffle. When a delivery slips by a week, you see at once what can go in its place, and you do not have to piece it together from memory.
Complaints tied to the specific opening and delivery. With a window a problem can surface a year later, and without that link you are left hunting for who fitted it and what is actually in there.
- Measuring on site Openings, dimensions, the opening type and photos, written once.
- Quote with the add-ons Sills, shading and making good are in it from the first version.
- Order at the maker The dimensions come from the same measurement, no retyping.
- Fitting and handover The date is confirmed only once the real delivery is known.
What stands behind it
I have not yet built directly for a window fitting firm. The closest is the system for scaffolding rental, which links dimensions, the quote and transport, and that is the same backbone. What is not there is the connection to the maker configurator, and that is exactly what we would have to talk about first, because how much work you save depends on it.
The closest finished system is the one for scaffolding rental, where material, weight and price are worked out from the wall dimensions, and where it is the same link between measuring and the quote.
When moving that one off Excel, 10 mistakes turned up that the client had been quoting from for years. With windows a mistake like that costs more, because it is not fixed by recalculating but by making the window again.
Common questions
We use the maker configurator. Would this replace it?
No, and it should not. The configurator knows the maker prices and options better than any custom system. The point is to build the measuring, the quote and the fitting plan around it, which it does not handle.
We also do shading and garage doors. Would that fit?
Yes, it is the same kind of job with different line items. Most firms keep it in one quote, because the customer deals with it together with the windows.
Can it handle several fitting crews at once?
Yes, the calendar is built for dates that move with deliveries. That is exactly the situation you handle every week in this trade.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
From €1,400, the first working version within a week. Tuning it to how the firm actually works usually takes a few more days after the first live use.
How many windows did you order with the wrong dimension this year?
Tell me how the dimensions travel from measuring to the maker. The measurement gets written once on site and reaches the maker exactly as you took it. The first call is free.
