Is your work spread over 7 tools that don’t know each other?

Bookings in one place, messages in another, payments in a sheet. A change stays in one tool before it reaches the people who need it.

Same week. Same team. A different day.

Builders and contractors order by phone and want delivery to site; prices change often and credit terms are common. Stock and truck planning decide the day.

Building materials supplier: the same work, today and with Era.

  • Today: Missed orders. An emailed order never entered the production plan. — Era: Order to work order. An approved quote becomes an order, then a work order.
  • Today: Missing materials. Production started; materials ran out halfway. — Era: Stock and supply. Low stock prepares a supplier order draft.
  • Today: Unclear delivery. The customer keeps asking where the order is. — Era: Status updates. Each stage change notifies the customer.
  • Today: Disconnected invoices. The shipment left; the invoice came a week later. — Era: Shipment to invoice. A completed shipment creates the invoice with its terms.

Erasample

Which orders could be late this week?

Two orders are waiting on materials; one is due Friday. I’ve drafted the supplier order and a note to the customer — I’ll show you both before sending.

Sections on from day one

9 sections switch on together; turn off what you don’t need, add more later.

Before you start

Create the order for the customer — it is placed unpaid and its invoice stays open. Tag them Weekly settlement; every Friday they get their balance and pay on Saturday.

Calendar → New appointment → Crane-truck delivery, with the customer and site address. The driver sees it in Field service, and the customer gets the time window on WhatsApp.

Quotes are valid for 7 days. Update cement and rebar prices in the Catalogue when the factory list changes; new quotes and orders use the new price.

Yes — tradesmen compare prices with VAT, so catalogue prices include the 20% VAT; invoices show the VAT separately.

The account collections agent tags customers with invoices over 30 days late as Payment risk and asks the counter to take cash only. You see the tag on the customer before every sale.

Sales, Quotes, Shop, Discounts, Product types, Invoices, Home service, Website, AI; 3 ready services and products, 3 teammates, 5 workflows, 22 notification rules and a website theme.

Yes. Switch on “start with sample data” during setup to get realistic customers, records and history; remove them in one step when you are ready.

Follow every step from order to shipment.
