JL Dev CRM replaces the spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and paper timesheets that most contracting businesses run on, with a single system built around how a trade business actually operates.
JL Dev CRM was built inside a real insulation contracting business, not designed for one in the abstract. Every module exists because a specific piece of paper or WhatsApp message needed to stop being the system of record.
Quotes drafted in Word, then re-typed by hand after every site visit.
Installer schedules kept in a group chat, changed on the fly with no record of it.
Certificates and compliance paperwork tracked from memory, until an audit finds the gap.
Timesheets filled in on paper, then entered into payroll a second time by someone else.
Ten modules covering the full life of a job, sharing one set of client, quote and job records instead of ten separate spreadsheets.
Track enquiries from first contact through to a signed quote, without anyone falling out of the list.
Turn a site survey into a priced quote, then a work order, without re-entering the same details twice.
A live calendar of who's on which job, with installer certs and vehicle checks visible before the day is booked in.
Certificates, training records and an audit trail, with expiry dates that surface themselves instead of getting missed.
Insurance, road tax, DOE and service dates for every vehicle, flagged before they lapse.
Installers log hours against the job they're actually on, from their phone, on or offline.
Stock and materials tied directly to the work order that needs them.
Pricing that's set once and applies everywhere it's quoted, so nothing drifts out of sync.
JL Dev CRM is built and maintained by Jack Lundy, trading as JL Dev. No hand-off to a support queue or a different team for changes — the person who built the system is the one who answers when something needs to change.
Freelance software development, building and maintaining the full platform: multi-tenant architecture, per-client branding, and ongoing feature work driven by what contractors actually run into on site.
