Tablet measure app
Width, drop, mount, control side, brackets and photos captured window by window. Works with no reception.
Blind & curtain software: measure, quote & make
Blind and curtain makers: measure once, make it right. No more retyping window sizes.
Measures scribbled on a notepad, prices hunted down in a dog-eared grid book, orders retyped for the workroom and a customer ringing to ask where their blinds are. We build measure-to-order systems for blind and curtain makers that carry every window from the home visit to the install. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for blind and curtain quoting software that goes from the measure to the workroom?
Every window is its own custom order: width, drop, inside or outside mount, fabric, colour, control side, chain length, bracket type and motor. Multiply that by fourteen windows in a new build and it's a lot of numbers to copy from a notepad to a quote, from the quote to a supplier order and from the order to a make sheet. One slipped digit and you're remaking a roller blind at your own cost.
Wollopit builds custom software around how your blind and curtain business actually runs. Your consultant measures on a tablet, the price works itself out from your own grids, the customer signs and pays a deposit before you leave the driveway. Make sheets, supplier orders and install packs come from the same measures, so nobody types a size twice. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from blind and curtain makers
Does your blind and curtain business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most blind and curtain businesses we talk to are brilliant at measuring and making. The trouble is everything in between: the retyping, the price book and the phone calls.

03The systems
The big ones
Every window, from measure to install.
These are the systems blind and curtain makers ask us about most. Each one works on its own. They get properly clever when they share the same measures.
Measure & quote
Measure it, price it and sign it before you leave.
Your consultant walks room by room on a tablet, capturing every window with the right options for each product. The price builds itself from your own grids as they go. The customer signs and pays a deposit at the kitchen bench.
- Room by room, window by window
- Inside, outside and face fit mounts
- Product limits flagged on the spot
- Photos and notes per window
- Prices from your own width and drop grids
- Fabric groups, motors and extras
- Works offline in dead spots
- Signature and deposit on the tablet
- Good, better, best options
- Follow-ups for unsigned quotes
Fabric selector
Swatches they can actually picture.
Your fabric ranges in one place with photos, colours, opacity and price group. Customers can see a fabric in a room preview during the visit, then come back to it online when they're deciding with their partner.
- Your ranges, colours and price groups
- Blockout, light filter and sheer tags
- Room previews by product type
- Favourites saved to the quote
- Shareable link after the visit
- Discontinued colours hidden
- Out-of-stock warnings
- Swatch request form for the website
Workroom & supplier orders
Make sheets that make themselves.
Signed jobs turn into make sheets for your own workroom and orders for your wholesalers, straight from the original measures. Deductions, fullness and fabric usage are worked out so nobody's doing maths on the back of a docket.
- Make sheets per window
- Deductions by product and mount
- Fullness, hems and heading worked out
- Fabric usage and cut lists
- Supplier orders in their format
- Order confirmations matched to jobs
- Workroom job board on a screen
- Labels for every finished blind
- Remake reasons recorded
Install scheduling
The right brackets in the van, every time.
Install runs get booked by area once a job's ready, with the customer picking a time from what's available. The installer gets an install pack on their phone listing every window, part and control. They tick it off on site with photos.
- Install runs planned by area
- Customers confirm their install time
- Install packs on the installer's phone
- Brackets, controls and remotes listed
- Van load checklist
- Before and after photos
- Customer sign-off on completion
- Balance invoiced on the spot
- Call-backs booked from the same job
Order tracking
Customers know before they think to ring.
Every job has a stage and every stage can send a text. Customers get told when the order's placed, when it's made and when the installer's on the way, so the phone stops ringing with 'any news on my blinds?'.
- Automatic SMS at each stage
- Customer tracking link
- Delays flagged with a new date
- Installer on-the-way texts
- Balance payment link
- Review request after install
- Warranty details sent with the invoice

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your blind and curtain business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We ride along on a measure, stand in the workroom and sit with whoever does the ordering, then work out where the retyping and mistakes really happen.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your products, price grids, deductions, fabric ranges, suppliers, installers, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the measure and quote app first, so you get a win on your very next home visit.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep your grids and ranges current. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things blind and curtain makers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it include shutters and awnings too?
Yes. Each product type can have its own measure rules, size limits, deductions, options and pricing in the same system.
Can it use our own price grids?
Yes. We load your width and drop grids, fabric groups, extras and install rates. When a supplier puts prices up you update the grid once and every new quote follows.
Does the measure app work with no reception?
Yes. It works offline in the home and syncs when you're back in range, so a dead spot in a new estate doesn't stop the quote.
Can it handle motorised blinds?
Yes. Motors, remotes, hubs and wiring notes can be options on any window, priced and listed on the install pack so nothing gets left behind.
Can it send orders to our wholesalers?
Yes. Supplier orders are generated from the job in whatever format each wholesaler takes, whether that's an email, a spreadsheet or their online system if it allows it.
We already use ServiceM8 or Tradify. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job management is doing its job, we build around it and add the measure, pricing, fabric and make sheet side on top. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a blind and curtain system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
We build in stages. The measure and quote app usually comes first so you get a win early, then make sheets, supplier orders and installs follow.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most blind and curtain makers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
