CARPENTRY AND JOINERY
Hours worked on the job site remain in a notebook until Friday. Payroll is waiting.
You manufacture custom pieces. Your administration, however, does copy-paste work.
In a carpentry workshop, creating an estimate takes time and the invoice copies it. The hours recorded on the job site arrive at the office late, advance payments follow without proper tracking, plans change without updating the estimate. LYVIA connects the estimate, the job site, the hours worked, and the invoice so that each piece of information is entered only once. Remotely, from Fribourg. The diagnostic is free of charge.
From quote to final invoice
A carpentry project involves a detailed quote, an advance payment, weeks of work, modifications, and a final invoice. Between each step, someone has to retype information.
The notebook stores a month of hours before it speaks, and that lag is what LYVIA brings down to the day.
Where does it break down in a carpentry workshop?
Hours arrive late
Noted on the site, reported to the office on Friday, corrected on Monday. Payroll is waiting, as is profitability per project.
Forgotten profits
The modification decided on-site isn't written down. The final invoice reflects the initial quote. The extra work is given for free.
Advance payments tracked by head
Who paid what, on which project, how much remains: a question we ask too often at month-end closing.
The quote that takes two hours
Each quote starts from scratch, even though tasks are similar from one project to another.
You don't install the same door twice. Why enter the same line twice?
What we connect first
Hours recorded on the phone or at the construction site are immediately available in payroll and for the relevant project. The accepted quote opens the file and the advance payment. Changes are added to the quote, not to memory.
One entry, on-site, at the moment of action. The rest flows automatically to payroll, profitability and invoicing.
What it changes in concrete terms
A quote in twenty minutes
Ready positions, up-to-date prices, a model per type of work. The quote is sent on the day of the visit.
Each project knows its margin
Hours and supplies linked to the project as they go along: you know before the final invoice if the project has made money.
Added values billed
The change is entered on site and added to the quote. It appears on the final invoice, with the date.
Visible projects
A photo of the completed project, taken from the phone, feeds the Google listing and social media. Future clients come from there.
Frequently asked questions
What carpenters ask us
Our workers do not like applications.
They do not like complicated applications. Entering hours takes thirty seconds and replaces the notebook. We adjust it with them, not against them.
We already work with WinBIZ or Crésus.
Great. We check what your version can exchange, and we connect what can be connected. Changing tools is never the starting point.
And the plans, photos, project documents?
Sorted by project, accessible from the phone, found in two words. A filmed procedure shows everyone where to put them.
Show us a project, from quote to final invoice
The diagnosis is free. We follow an actual project and show you where the hours, deposits, and added values get lost along the way.
