Custom shops quote every job by hand and run no two builds alike. OurWorkshop keeps the whole arc in one place — capture the lead, send the quote, run the build, hand over the receipt — flexible enough for work that's different every time.
You win work on social and word of mouth, then quote every job by hand — and the details for a single job scatter across a dozen apps that don't know about each other.
It's not that any one tool is bad. It's that none of them talk to each other — so you re-key the same job four times and still lose the thread.
Not a feature list — a single spine every job runs along. Each step feeds the next, so nothing gets re-keyed and nothing falls through.
From anywhere — public form, API, or manual entry — and qualify them in one inbox.
For client review and approval. An approved quote becomes a receipt — no re-keying.
Promote a lead to a project. Attach the client, reference docs, CNC programs, schematics as it builds.
A link and a PIN — no account. Clients upload inspiration, review quotes, and message you.
The lead and project history is already there — so a one-off note to your own client list is one click.
Every shop has builds it quotes over and over with a twist — the seven-foot painted version, the four-foot stained one. Save each as a recipe on the product: the quote lines you'd type every time, the materials and shop hours behind them, and the working files for that exact build.
Next job, it's one pick: the quote fills itself in, the cost sheet fills itself in, and the CNC program is one click from the project. Everything lands as an editable copy — tweak price or quantity per job, and the recipe never rewrites work you've already sent. Clients never see any of it; they just get a clean quote, fast.
Your client doesn't want another account. They get a private window into their project — upload inspiration, review the quote, watch the build, message the shop — with nothing to sign up for.
It's branded as your shop, because the relationship is yours.
Schematics, shop drawings, CNC programs, hardware specs — rich content is first-class. Attach it to the project it belongs to, or to a standard product so every job that uses it picks up the latest revision.
Even client inspiration files itself: portal uploads land on the project automatically. One library, organized by the work itself — versioned, findable, never re-uploaded.
Every client and lead you've ever worked with is already in your workshop — no list to export, no mailing-list tool to sync. Pick a segment straight from your job history and write a one-off note.
Notes go out branded as your shop, on templates that already look good. It's the “we have two build slots this fall” email — written, sent, done in five minutes.
When your public site is connected to Traffic, your workshop shows pageviews, measured visits, sources, actions, and which published products and posts people open — so you can see what brings people in and what holds their attention.
A bounded visit timeline helps explain one observed browsing session without claiming to know the person or prove a conversion. The email panel separately shows accepted messages and available delivery, bounce, and observed-open signals.
Every lead, quote, project, and file lives on one spine — one place to look instead of a dozen tabs, and a full history for every job you've ever run.
No two jobs are alike. Quote each one from scratch, attach whatever the build needs — schematics, CNC programs, inspiration — and let the project flex around the work instead of forcing it into a template.
Your public presence stays on your own domain, powered by a catalog feed, a drop-in lead widget, and a connected Traffic report that shows what people view. The engine is ours; the storefront is yours.
From first message to final receipt — and the next one.
