Your business, your system
Your Google project, your accounts, your data.
Business software you own. Connected to the website you already have.
Run the work.Own the system.
Quotes, crews, schedules, hours and invoices in one connected place. Works runs in a Google Cloud / Firebase project your business controls. Keep your website. Make the work behind it easier.
Keep the website that is already yours
Connect WordPress or another website with a customer portal button.
One place for the working day
Jobs, crews, hours, materials and customer conversations stay together.
The right view for each person
A clear working day for your crew. Project information for your customers.
Keep using what you buy
Continued use of your purchased version, without an ongoing ShopReady license fee.
01 · Before the day starts
You’re not disorganised. You’re doing four jobs at once.
Three people texted you before six. A customer wants to know why nobody showed up. There’s a quote you’ve meant to send for nine days. The schedule is in your head, the receipts are in the truck, and the only person who knows what’s happening on the Alvarez job is you.
Bring the office, the crew and the customer together around the same job. Keep control of the system that holds it all.
02 · One connected operation
One place where the work lives.
From the first inquiry to the final invoice, every part of a job sits in one system—and the office, the field, and the customer each see the slice that belongs to them. Built for service businesses: service-only, service plus materials, shop work, field work, or both.
01
Connect your existing website
Add a portal or team sign-in button to WordPress or another website. Works runs separately in your own Google project; your website stays where it is.
02
Plan the work
A company schedule and a plan for each job, built around availability, qualifications, commitments, and handoffs. — Live
03
Run the work
Jobsites, crews, hours, materials, expenses, photos, drawings, and punch lists from the phone already in their hand. — Live for staff paths
04
Get paid
Estimates, invoices, payments, and records. Accounting CSV export — Live. Live QuickBooks/Xero sync and optional merch storefront — On the map. ShopReady is not bookkeeping or general-ledger software.
05
Keep the customer
Private portal communication, feedback, issues, and approved facts — Live. Fact-based after-hours answers — Live. Customer photo upload and model-backed AI triage — On the map / In the build.
06
Your operation. Your control.
Your business controls its cloud project, billing, data and provider accounts. Keep using your purchased version. ShopReady retains its proprietary software intellectual property.
03 · Built for the field
Your crew opens one screen.
Individual logins and role-appropriate views for crew, managers, and owners. Where they’re going, what time, what’s needed on the truck, who else is on site, and what the customer already agreed to. No group texts. No six a.m. phone tree.
- Separate logins with crew, manager, and owner or superuser views
- Crew sees assigned work and can enter their own time—stripped down on purpose
- Today’s assignments, addresses, and site access notes
- Photos, notes, and receipts straight from their phone
- Only what they need—not your margins or other employees’ hours
04 · The customer’s side
They stop calling to ask how it’s going.
Every customer gets a private page for their project: dates, approved photos, invoices, balances, and the arrival window for the crew coming Thursday.
See the schedule and any change to it — LiveAsk a question or flag a problem in one place — LiveSend a photo when something is not right — On the mapApprove what needs approving — LiveReview invoices and balances—and pay when that capability is enabled for your installation — Live to view; pay On the mapKnow when the crew is due before they knock — Live
Fewer phone calls and better service, at the same time. Most software makes you choose one.
05 · After hours
A question at nine at night gets an answer at nine at night.
Routine questions can be answered from approved project facts you already made visible—the schedule, accepted scope, and decisions on record. Nothing is invented or promised on your behalf. (Live for fact-based answers. A fuller privacy-filtered model assistant is In the build, default-off.)
Anything that needs a person is escalated for human follow-up. Staff see open cases in one queue with tools to answer and schedule the next step. (Live as a service queue. A dedicated morning digest is In the build.)
Nobody sets out to give bad service. They just run out of hours. This is about giving the hours back.
06 · Capacity
“We’re too busy to take more work” is a staffing problem, not a capacity problem.
See how far out you are committed, which work cannot yet be staffed, and where demand is outrunning the team. — Live
Set a protected capacity buffer—your own percentage held back for overruns, urgent fixes, unscheduled work, shop and truck cleanup, organization, and the quiet improvements that make next year stronger. — On the map
And when a week goes smoothly, that is the week you get back: reorganise the trailer, re-inventory the bins, and get the truck right—the work that quietly decides whether next year is bigger. — On the map (practice, not a product button)
07 · Breadth without the catalog dump
See what the suite actually covers.
Eight outcome groups—from winning work to portfolio control—map to real Works menus. Open the feature explorer when you want progressive detail without turning this page into a product manual.

Explore features10 · Built from the shop outward
More than thirty years in the trades. Now building what I wish I’d had.
I’m Jay Patukonis—a cabinetmaker with more than 30 years in the trades and 23 years as a self-employed shop owner. I have the calluses to prove it. I also have the bad back. I know what thin margins feel like, what a missed callback costs, and how quickly a good crew day turns into chaos when the schedule lives in three phones and a notebook.
Some tradespeople are completely at home with CAD, CNC, phones, and new technology. Others are exceptional at their trade but would rather not wrestle with software after a long day on the tools. ShopReady is built for both: an interface that makes sense from the first use, with practical tools that make the business easier to run regardless of technical experience.
I like to listen first, seed a few ideas, then go back and forth until the solution fits how you actually work. I’m happiest MacGyvering practical, slightly quirky fixes that stick—so the solution feels like yours, not something dropped onto you.
I’m putting that experience into practical software for the day-to-day work of running a company. The aim is simple: less chasing information, clearer decisions, and a system the business can control.
