A Google Sheets–based CRM, bid tracker, and invoice system built for handyman and contractor businesses, with a Claude AI assistant that updates your records from a text or voice message.

The done-for-you Google Sheets + AI system that replaces your bid notebook, invoice shoebox, and memory of past customers.

  • One connected Google Sheet: CRM, Bid Tracker, and Job Log tabs that all read from the same customer record
  • Two Google Doc templates (Estimate + Invoice) that auto-generate the moment you enter a bid or mark a job Won
  • A Google Apps Script that emails you every morning with bids open 5+ days and invoices unpaid 14+ days
  • A ready-to-use Claude AI workflow so you can update your day's jobs by voice/text — Claude states exactly what it will write and waits for your approval first
  • Full setup guide; about 40 minutes, no coding required

Built for handyman and contractor businesses. Adaptable to any business that runs on bids, jobs, and invoices.

Digital product — delivered by link at purchase. A one-time system you own, built around tools many shops already use. Before buying, review the setup requirements.

What You Need Before You Start

This system is built for a small business owner who wants a simple, business-owned way to track customers, bids, jobs, invoices, and follow-ups.

Before you buy, make sure you have:

  • A Google account that will own the business files. Google Workspace is ideal, but a personal Gmail account also works.

  • A laptop or desktop computer with Google Chrome.

  • A smartphone with the Claude mobile app for quick updates during the day.

  • A Claude account with access to Projects and Cowork. A paid plan may be required for those features.

  • Access to Google Drive, Google Sheets, and Google Docs through the Google account you will use for the business.

  • About 35 to 45 minutes for the first-time setup.

The system uses your own Google Drive, Google Sheet, and document templates. Your customer records stay in files your business controls.

This is a good fit if you are comfortable following step-by-step setup instructions. The core product is self-serve, with optional setup help, consulting, and ongoing support available.

What this does not include: no dispatch platform, payment processing, phone system, bookkeeping service, or ongoing custom support.

What if the system doesn't cover your setup?

The $97 system is built for the paperwork every trade business shares: bids that go cold, invoices that sit unpaid, jobs that live in someone's memory instead of a record. If your business runs close to that shape, it'll work out of the box.

If it doesn't; a second location, a tool it doesn't talk to, a workflow specific to your trade; that's exactly the kind of problem I solve directly. Every system I sell started as a custom build for one real business first. If yours needs the same thing, I build it, priced for what it actually takes, not enterprise rates.

You don't need a $4 billion company's budget or IT department to run on tooling like this. You need someone willing to sit down, understand exactly how your business runs, and build the specific thing that fixes it. That's what I do — one shop at a time.
