This journey prepares an assessment. Opening an account and subscribing remain separate steps, with your agreement.
We start with one concrete case: your next quote. Prepare an example, your catalogue and rates; we go through them with you. Then describe the job, review the draft and adjust quantities. This journey is designed for learning by doing. The time needed depends on your documents and organisation.
Involve them in preparing the catalogue, rates and first example. The tradesperson brings the job context; the admin person brings their document routines. Agree together who checks what. The package includes one user. Additional access needs are discussed at setup.
Start with a first quote and your own references. We agree three things together:
This lets you assess a first practical use before expanding your approach.
BuddyLeader proposes a way of working: start with your description of the job, prepare a proposal using your references, then let you check and decide. Assisted quotes, project memory and integrated invoicing keep that context connected, from first contact to the next visit. You can assess this change now through quotes, starting with an example and then a guided setup. The choice rests on the practical help it brings to your day.
BUDDY helps you prepare quotes, keep project notes and context, find useful conversations and prepare invoices. From the first need to the next visit, this memory supports job and client follow-up. The three services are assisted quotes, project memory and collaboration, and integrated invoicing. You retain approval of documents and client commitments.
Solo costs CHF 69.00 excl. tax per month for one user. Founding offers exactly the same package at CHF 48.99 excl. tax per month for the first 100 customers, while the subscription remains uninterrupted and subject to availability. Both prices include up to 100 quotes per month, quote management, CRM, invoicing, project notes and multilingual support. No Swiss VAT is currently charged. See package details.
Yes. The subscription is monthly, with no cancellation fees. Cancel through the customer portal; it ends at the close of the monthly period already paid. If you leave Founding, a new subscription uses the price in force at that time, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The subscription is paid from signup, with no free trial period, and billed monthly in advance. The date and amount of the first payment are shown before you confirm. You can explore the quote example on this page without an account; an access request does not automatically create a subscription.
The model reads your sentence and proposes line items; the calculation rule applies your catalogue and rates. The demonstration shows the proposal’s source and missing information. Nothing is sent to a client without your approval.
We publish a promise only when it has a defined scope, an owner and dated evidence. The evidence register shows what is documented, what is pending and what must not be presented as established.
