Painting Contractors Case Study

Instant Quotes for ProFinish Painters

How a simple web app helped increase bid conversion by 30%.

Situation

ProFinish Painters, a high-quality residential and commercial painting company, was losing competitive bids. Their estimators visited clients, took manual measurements, and returned to the office to calculate costs. This delay, often 24-48 hours, gave competitors using faster tools a significant advantage. The manual calculations were also prone to errors, affecting profitability and professionalism.

Task

ProFinish Painters hired Bohotek to create a web-based application that would allow their estimators to generate accurate, comprehensive, and professionally branded quotes on-site, directly with the client. The tool needed to be incredibly fast and easy to use on any mobile device.

Action

We delivered a streamlined Progressive Web App (PWA) by focusing on the core needs of the estimator:

  1. Pricing Logic Distillation: We worked with their senior estimator to codify their complex pricing logic into a powerful calculation engine.
  2. Intuitive UI/UX: The interface was designed for speed, allowing estimators to easily add rooms, input dimensions, select paint types, and add custom line items.
  3. Dynamic PDF Generation: We built a feature to instantly generate a beautifully branded PDF quote, complete with company logos, terms and conditions, and a space for an e-signature.
  4. Instant Delivery: The generated quote could be immediately emailed to the client and synced to the office CRM from the app.
  5. PWA for Accessibility: By building it as a PWA, it was installable on the home screen of any phone or tablet, providing app-like performance without needing an app store.
