Wollopit for painters

Painters: quote every room without the spreadsheet. Prices, colours and schedules in one place.

Quotes in a spreadsheet, colour choices in text messages and jobs that run over because nobody tracked the hours. We build quoting and job systems for painting businesses.

Looking for painting quoting software that prices by room?

Painting quotes depend on rooms, surfaces, prep, coats and colours. Generic quoting apps make you add it all up yourself. We build tools that price painting the way painters measure it.

Wollopit builds job systems, quoting tools, booking systems and websites for painters around how you actually work. We connect the apps you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back on the tools.

05How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your painting business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

06Questions

FAQ

Things painters ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can it handle commercial and strata repaints?

Yes. Large jobs can be broken into stages, areas and levels with progress claims and reporting for builders or strata managers.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your painting business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

We already use a job management app. Do we have to switch?

No. If it's doing its job we build around it: the missing features, the integrations and the website on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Will it work on a phone in the van?

Yes. Everything we build for trades works on a phone first, with big buttons and photos that upload when you get signal back.

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.
