Shade sail & awning quoting software and job tracking
Shade sails & awnings: measured, made and fitted on schedule. Quotes, fabric and installs together.
Measurements in a notebook, fabric samples mailed out and production tracked on a whiteboard. We build shade systems that quote quickly and move each job from measure to install.
Looking for shade sail quoting software?
Shade and awning jobs go from measure to design to fabrication to install. Every stage needs tracking and clients want to see colours first. We build systems that handle the whole flow.
Wollopit builds job systems, quoting tools, booking systems and websites for shade sail and awning businesses 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.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your shade and awning business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 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.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things shade sail and awning businesses ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can we show clients a mock-up of the sail?
Yes. We can add a simple design tool that shows sail shapes and colours over a photo of their space.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your shade and awning 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.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most shade sail and awning businesses 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.
