WHY SLATEROUTE AND NOT A CRM

Four things a general CRM will not do for you.

Quotes, scheduling, and invoices are table stakes. Every tool in this category has them, and on those alone one is much like another. These four are the difference, and they are the reason owners in these trades stop looking.

Your request form is already built for your trade

Not a blank form builder, and not a locked template either. The questions that decide the price - size, access, stairs, doorways, weight, condition, era, photos - are already in it, researched trade by trade. Then you edit it on the form itself: drop the sections you do not use, add your own questions, change the service list. You start from a form that works instead of a blank page.

Your website comes with it

A real site at your own SlateRoute address with your services, photo gallery, and the request form wired in. Add a page for each town you serve, because “pool table movers in Boulder” is what people actually search, and a page that names the town gives Google something exact to match instead of one page trying to cover a whole region. Selling used tables or gear is an optional for-sale section you can switch on.

What the customer typed is never typed again

The request becomes the quote. The accepted quote becomes the job. The finished job becomes the invoice. All of it becomes that customer's history. Most tools start at the quote, which means you retype what the customer already told you.

The day gets routed and the truck gets loaded

Send every stop for the day to Google Maps in schedule order, not one address at a time. Hold the material a job needs and the schedule tells you what to bring, so a second caller never gets promised the same roll of cloth.

None of it is locked. Edit the form questions, the services, every word and photo on the website, your colors, and your own domain whenever you want.

FOUNDER NOTE

Built from running the work.

Before SlateRoute, its founder ran a multi-state billiards moving and service business through its eventual sale. Customer requests arrived by email, job details were copied into spreadsheets, and estimates, invoices, and schedules lived in separate places.

SlateRoute turns that real operating experience into one connected workflow for specialty businesses that need practical software, not more office work.

WHAT YOU GET

One clear path from request to paid.

The website and the owner workspace share the same records, so information moves forward instead of being typed again.

Requests arrive ready to quote

Your form asks the details that change the price: size, access, stairs, weight, condition, photos, and the service-specific questions for your trade.

Quotes customers accept on their phone

Send a link. They read it, accept it, and the job and invoice create themselves. No account for them to make, no PDF to sign and scan back. You see the moment they open it.

Accepted terms stay with the work

Keep the accepted price, line items, terms, notes, and signature evidence together so the job record reflects what the customer approved.

Follow-ups do not live in your head

New requests, unanswered quotes, unscheduled jobs, customer promises, and past-due invoices return to one Needs attention list.

Route one job or the whole day

Open pickup-to-delivery directions for one job, or send every stop for the day to Google Maps in schedule order. Subscribe to the schedule from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, while customers get their own calendar link.

One workspace for owner and crew

Add your partner or crew without a per-person fee. Crew get the schedule and job details they need, while owner-only information stays protected.

THE WORK COMES BACK

Today’s job is next year’s job.

Cloth wears out, tables drift out of level, and commercial accounts run on a cycle. SlateRoute remembers when, so the next job comes back to you instead of to whoever the customer finds first.

Set the interval once per service

Say a refelt is due every 12 months and a level every 24. When a customer passes that mark they appear in Needs attention with the service, the date it was last done, how far past due it is, and a reminder ready to send. You are not keeping a bar league's schedule in your head.

Or put a date on a single job

The commercial account that wants a quote before their busy season, or the customer who said call me in the spring. Leave the date and the note on the job and it comes back to your dashboard that day, with the note attached so you know why you are calling.

Reminders go out as an email from your business, and replies come back to your own inbox rather than into a no-reply void.

YOUR WEBSITE IS READY TOO

No domain name required.

Every business gets a website at its own SlateRoute address. Share it right away, use only the request form with a website you already have, or connect your own domain later.

USE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT

You do not have to run your whole business in it.

Plenty of owners want a decent website, a form that asks the right questions, and an email when someone needs work done. That is a real way to use SlateRoute, not a trial version of it.

Start with just the website and the form

Publish your site, or drop only the request form into a website you already have. Every request emails you with the customer's answers laid out, and replying to that email goes straight to the customer. No dashboard to learn, no workflow to follow. This is a complete way to use SlateRoute.

Turn on the rest whenever you want it

When retyping the same job into a spreadsheet gets old, the rest is already waiting in the same account: quote from the request, book it, invoice it, route the day, keep the history. Nothing to migrate, no upgrade to buy, same $39.

Either way the lead email lands in your inbox the moment a request comes in, with the customer’s name, phone, address, and answers in the message. Hit reply and you are talking to the customer.

A SIMPLE WORKFLOW

Built around how the work actually happens.

A request is an inbox item, not another customer record to retype. When the customer says yes, the same information moves forward into the job.

01

A customer sends a request

Your branded form collects the service, addresses, access details, photos, and contact information.

02

You review and quote

Your price book pre-fills the quote. Send a link the customer can view and accept online, with their questions attached.

03

Accepted work becomes a job

The customer's yes creates the job and invoice automatically. Schedule it and send the confirmation in one click.

04

Finish, invoice, and get paid

Complete the job, record payment, chase past-due invoices from the dashboard, and keep the full customer history.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions.

What does SlateRoute keep in one place?

Your website, customer requests, photos, quotes, schedule, invoices, follow-ups, and customer history stay connected in one workspace. Information moves forward with the job, so you do not have to keep entering it into separate systems.

Do I need a website or domain name?

No. Every business gets its own SlateRoute website and web address, such as yourbusiness.slateroute.com. You can share that site immediately, use only its request form with a website you already have, or connect your own domain later.

Can I use just the website and the request form?

Yes, and it is a normal way to use it. Publish your site or embed only the request form in a website you already have. Every request emails you with the customer's name, phone, address, and answers, and replying to that email goes straight to the customer, so you can work leads entirely from your inbox. The quotes, scheduling, invoices, and customer history sit in the same account whenever you decide you want them, at no extra cost.

Is SlateRoute set up for my type of business?

Choose your specialty when you create the account. SlateRoute starts with services, website wording, and request questions prepared for that field. You can edit them to match how your business actually works.

What happens when a customer submits a request?

The request appears in your owner dashboard with the customer details, service information, addresses, notes, and photos they provided. You can contact them, save changes, or build and send the quote from the same record.

I'm not technical. How hard is setup?

Choose your business type, enter your business details, and work through the short setup checklist. Everything is written in plain language, and you can change your services, website, request form, and settings later.

What happens to my data if I leave?

It's yours. Every account can download its complete data as a file at any time, no phone call required.

Can customers accept quotes without creating an account?

Yes. Each customer receives a private quote link they can open and respond to without creating a SlateRoute login.

Can my crew use it too?

Yes. Crew members get a simpler phone-friendly view of their schedule and assigned jobs. You decide who can see money or record payments. Business partners can be given full workspace access.

What does it cost?

$39 a month, everything included - the website, quotes, scheduling, invoices, and every crew member you add. No tiers, no per-user fees, no features held hostage one plan up. The trial is 14 days and free, with no credit card; we only ask for payment details if you decide to stay.
