Stop losing bids
Materials uncertainty, spec misses, and late quotes are the top three reasons tile and renovation contractors lose jobs. Applure builds the structured intake, decision capture, and quote-to-deposit systems that make you faster and more accurate than the crew down the road.
Hatch's 2024 State of the Home Improvement Industry report found that 63% of contractors follow up with quoted leads only once or twice, while industry data shows 80% of sales close after 5 to 12 touches. Slow follow-up is the single biggest reason quotes go unsigned.
What operators tell us about their Tuesday
“Half our orders come back wrong, even the ones we emailed instructions for.”
Wrong dye lot. Trim quantity short. Homeowner picked a finish that's backordered for six weeks. You sent the spec sheet. They didn't read it. Orders get rebuilt three times.
“Quotes take too long and we lose the bid.”
Manual measurement, pricing, and vendor checks add days. By the time your quote lands, the homeowner has already booked the crew who responded first.
“Sample checkout is chaos and clients change their minds.”
Samples go missing. Decisions shift after the order is in. No single place links samples, finish choices, quotes, and signed approvals.
