The enquiry lands
Before Arqor: Buried in WhatsApp, voicemail and your inbox.
Log it from the email or your website form in one tap. Every lead sits on one list, from new to quoting to won.
From the first call to the final invoice
Every step of a job leaves something behind: a drawing, a price, an hour on site, a receipt. Arqor keeps all of it on the job, so the next step is half done before you start. Here are 26 of them.
Price a job in an evening, not a weekend.
Before Arqor: Buried in WhatsApp, voicemail and your inbox.
Log it from the email or your website form in one tap. Every lead sits on one list, from new to quoting to won.
Before Arqor: A night with a scale rule and a highlighter.
Arqor reads the whole drawing set and drafts the schedule of works. It measures the quantities and shows its working, and anything it can’t see stays blank for you.
Before Arqor: Guessing from last year’s rates.
Your price book builds itself from every quote and invoice you’ve sent. On Contractors, materials are priced from what you actually paid your merchant last month.
Before Arqor: Emailing drawings round, then re-typing their prices.
Send them the lines without your prices. They price on a link with no account, and their price drops into your quote with your margin on top.
Before Arqor: Typing it into Word at 10pm.
A branded quote with the covering letter filled in, checked for unpriced lines before it goes, sent from your own email.
Won on Monday, ready to start by Wednesday.
Before Arqor: Typing the same job into three different places.
Accept the quote and the job is made. The programme comes from the schedule, with a live link for the client that shows no money.
Before Arqor: A round of phone calls every morning.
Book the crew on the week view. Each of them sees their day on their phone, with directions to site.
Before Arqor: Copying last job’s RAMS and chasing signatures.
Arqor’s starter templates or your own, matched to the work and filled in with the site, dates and team. You check and sign, the crew sign on their phones, and new starters induct themselves from a QR code.
Before Arqor: A spreadsheet of expiry dates nobody updates.
Scan a CSCS card or an insurance certificate and the expiry date is read for you to confirm. Every ticket on the job, in one register.
Before Arqor: Listing materials by hand for the merchant.
An order list straight from the quote, with the quantities your merchant needs.
Everyone on the same job, without the WhatsApp groups.
Before Arqor: Paper timesheets and Friday-night maths.
One tap on the phone clocks in. Timesheets build themselves, forgotten clock-outs are caught, and payroll is a download.
Before Arqor: Sorting WhatsApp photos at midnight.
Photos pinned to the plan, with the time and place. Subcontractors scan the board and add theirs, and the Part L pack is named the way Building Control asks.
Before Arqor: Writing up the visit in the van.
Walk the site and talk while you take photos. Arqor drafts the report with your words matched to each photo, and you tidy it and share it.
Before Arqor: Typing snag lists, then chasing calls.
Tick snag as you take the photo, or say them out loud. Each trade gets only their own snags and ticks them off with a photo.
Before Arqor: Scribbled notes and forgotten actions.
Record the meeting and get the minutes and actions to check, with nobody’s words put in someone else’s mouth.
Before Arqor: The 5pm phone call.
The crew ask for tomorrow’s materials in the app, and the office sees it against what the quote allowed.
Invoiced the day it’s done, not the weekend after.
Before Arqor: Typing every merchant invoice in and filing it to a job.
Bills are read straight out of your email, or a photo of one, and matched to the right job by the site address. You confirm them and they’re on the job’s costs and in Xero.
Before Arqor: A carrier bag of receipts at the end of the month.
The crew photograph them, Arqor reads the figures and the office approves them in one go.
Before Arqor: Building every invoice from scratch.
Invoice from the quote or the finished work, or just say it out loud and check the draft. CIS and reverse charge wording done for you.
Before Arqor: The QS spreadsheet and paper sign-offs.
The client accepts a variation on a link and it goes onto the valuation. Record the certificate line by line, and Arqor reminds you when retention is due.
Before Arqor: Ringing round for money you’re owed.
Polite reminders go out after the due date if you want them. Bank lines are matched to invoices for you to confirm, and Xero gets it all without typing it twice.
Before Arqor: Typing the same thirty invoices every month.
The whole month’s invoices drafted in one go, filled from the hours the crew reported on each visit.
Know what every job made, and quote the next one sharper.
Before Arqor: A box file of photos and paperwork.
The photos, documents, O&M information and compliance records from the whole job, gathered into one handover pack for the client.
Before Arqor: Finding out at year end.
Labour from the clock-ins, bills and receipts, against the quote, on every job. The company profit and loss even spots a regular bill that stopped arriving.
Before Arqor: The same guesses, job after job.
What you really paid and how long it really took feed straight back into your prices.
Before Arqor: Word documents and a Gmail address.
Your logo and colours on every quote, invoice, report and email. On Contractors, a client portal and enquiries from your own website too.
Before the contractor: the architect’s end of the thread
In Arqor for Architects, which follows Office. The job, the schedule and the tender pass straight to the contractor.
