Every form enquiry, on one board

· 2 min read · Tim McCartney

The Enquiries board in the Scalus app on a computer, with cards in New enquiry, Quote sent, Booked in and Job done, and one enquiry opened on a phone showing the customer's own words

One client already had every enquiry on a board, each customer moved along as the job moved. Other clients needed the same thing. So Enquiries in the Scalus app is now a board, and 16 businesses already have one.

The problem

A website enquiry used to arrive as an email and a line in a list. A list does not tell you who you have quoted, who is booked in, or who went quiet. The customer's own words sat in an email somewhere, and finding them meant searching the inbox while they waited on the phone.

The result

The Enquiries page is now a board, set up for your business.

Every form enquiry, where each customer is up to, and what they asked for, on one screen.

If your jobs already live in a job management app, the board can show those jobs instead, photos and all, so there is still one place to look.

The screens above are the real app, shown on a sample business with made up names and numbers. The board is already on for 16 Scalus clients. If you are a client and yours is not on yet, send me a message in the app.

Want this in your app?

Sixteen clients have it today, and any client can ask for it in the app. Not a client yet? The website, the app and the systems behind them are one plan, month to month.

Questions about this feature

What goes on the board?
Every enquiry from your website form, as a card with the customer's name, phone and email, and their own words when you open it. New ones land in the first stage by themselves.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. On a phone the stages sit along the top as tabs. Tap one to see its cards, then open a card to read it, move it to the next stage or call the customer.
Can I change the stages?
Yes. Each business starts with stages that fit its work. Send me a message in the app and I will change them for you.
