Challenge
kintone was easy to deploy but split lead, site survey, quote, order, construction, and aftercare into separate apps—forcing constant navigation to see one project. Photo handling was weak, and per-seat pricing scaled linearly with headcount.
Approach
Designed a renovation-tuned data model threading every stage under one project, built on Lays-Lop in 3.5 months. kintone data migrated losslessly.
Implementation
Site survey photos can be captured and organized from the project detail view. The quote screen auto-calculates pricing from a parts master and surfaces similar past projects. A homeowner aftercare portal is included to retain maintenance work.
Results
Monthly cost halved versus kintone + plugins + seats. Quote prep time fell 65%, and faster turnaround lifted win rate by 8 points.
