Package configurator
Lights, locks, cameras, blinds, climate and audio priced as customers choose, room by room.
Smart home installer software: configurators & quoting
Smart home installers: make the quote as smart as the house. Pick the gadgets, see the price.
Every quote is a fresh spreadsheet, every consult turns into a two-hour lesson on Zigbee and the support call six months later starts with "which hub did we put in?". We build package configurators, install planning and system record tools for smart home installers that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for a smart home package configurator or quoting tool?
Smart home buyers want to mix and match: a few smart switches, a video doorbell, a keyless lock, motorised blinds and the aircon on their phone. Every combination changes the hub, the wiring, the labour and the price. So most installers end up building each quote by hand from supplier price lists, then explaining it all again on site. The device list lives in a notebook and the logins live in a text thread.
Wollopit builds custom smart home software around how your business actually runs. Customers build their own package online and see the price as they go, with only compatible gear on offer. That package becomes the room by room install plan, the stock order and the system record your team pulls up when the customer rings. We connect the job management and accounting tools you already like and look after the lot on our own servers.

Does your smart home business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole smart home business, on one system.
These are the systems smart home installers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Package configurator
Customers build the package. You get the price and the spec.
Customers walk through their home room by room and pick what they want. The price updates as they go, with hubs, cabling and labour worked out behind the scenes. You get a fully specified lead instead of a vague form.
- Room by room device picking
- Live package pricing
- Hubs and bridges added automatically
- Labour and cabling built into the price
- Good, better, best tiers
- Starter packs like 'Secure entry'
- Plain English device explanations
- Monthly care plan options
- Save and share a package
- Book a consult from the result
Compatibility & quoting
Only gear that plays nicely ends up in the quote.
Your compatibility rules sit inside the tool, so customers can't pick a lock that won't talk to the hub. The package turns into a branded proposal with options and a deposit link in one click.
- Compatibility rules you control
- Ecosystem filters for Apple, Google and Alexa
- Warnings with plain English reasons
- Supplier price lists kept current
- Margins set per category
- Branded proposals with options
- E-signing and deposit payment
- Quote versions tracked
- Accepted quotes into ServiceM8 or simPRO
Install planning
From pre-wire to fit-off without the notebook.
The accepted package becomes a room by room device schedule your techs can open on site. New builds run in stages alongside the builder, with pre-wire checks done before the plasterboard goes up.
- Device schedules per room
- Cabling and pre-wire checklists
- Builder contacts and site notes
- Pre-wire, rough-in and fit-off stages
- Reminders tied to the build schedule
- Parts lists pulled from the package
- Supplier orders and check-in
- Photos of cable runs behind walls
- Tech sign-off per stage
System records & support
Pick up the phone already knowing their setup.
Every home gets a system record with each device, where it is, its firmware and how it's configured. Logins sit in a secure vault. Customers get a portal with their scenes and how-tos, so fewer calls start with 'how do I turn it off?'.
- Every device, location and firmware
- Network and hub details
- Secure credentials vault
- Access log for every tech
- Scene and automation notes
- Warranty dates per device
- Customer portal with how-to guides
- Support requests with history
- Remote support notes per visit
Care plans & upgrades
Past customers who keep coming back.
Monitoring and maintenance plans bill themselves and renewals don't slip through. Because you know what's in every house, you can offer the upgrade that actually fits.
- Monthly or yearly care plans
- Automatic billing through Stripe
- Failed card retries
- Invoices into Xero or MYOB
- Scheduled health check visits
- Upgrade offers based on installed gear
- Warranty expiry reminders
- Email and SMS campaigns

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 smart home business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We sit in on a consult, ride along to an install and listen to a few support calls, then work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your device range, compatibility rules, pricing, install stages, system records, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the configurator or quoting first, so you get a win before your next busy run.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep your device list current as new gear comes out. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things smart home installers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers really price their own smart home package?
Yes. They pick devices room by room and see the price as they go, with hubs, cabling and labour added behind the scenes. You set the rules and margins. You can also keep certain items as 'price on consult' if you'd rather.
How does it stop customers choosing gear that won't work together?
We build your compatibility rules into the tool. If a device needs a bridge it's added automatically. If it won't work with their chosen ecosystem they get a plain English warning before it goes in the package.
Can it handle whole-of-build projects with builders?
Yes. New builds can be managed in stages with builder contacts, pre-wire schedules and final fit-off tracked separately. Reminders follow the build schedule so nothing gets missed before the walls close up.
Is it safe to store customer passwords and hub logins?
Credentials are stored encrypted against each system with access limited to the people who need it. Every view is logged so you know who looked at what.
We already use ServiceM8 or simPRO. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job management is doing its job we build around it, so accepted packages and device schedules flow straight into the job. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a smart home 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?
Smaller jobs like a package configurator on your website can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who keeps the device list and prices up to date?
You can update devices, prices and rules yourself in a simple back end. If you'd rather not, we can do it for you as new gear comes out.
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 smart home installers 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.
