Everything below is built. Where a step needs your Xero or your diary connected, it says so.
An enquiry lands in info@. Aurian reads it, asks the three questions you would ask, and replies in your tone. Visit offered for Thursday from your connected diary.
You approve the reply from your phone. Thursday is booked. The client has a confirmation with your name on it.
A voice note and four photos from site. Aurian drafts the quote from your rate card, margin in, on your paper. It is waiting for you, not the other way round.
A variation: the client wants the kitchen moved. Aurian writes it up, prices it, sends it for your approval, then to the client for theirs. It goes on the fee note, not in the gap.
The portal updates itself. Progress, documents, next payment. The client does not email.
You ask what the fortnight looks like. Who is over, who is free, which stage is at risk, and whether the job you were asked about this morning fits.
Stage 3 completes. The invoice is raised from the stage plan, with the deposit already accounted for, and waits for your approval.
The follow-up to Tuesday's enquiry is drafted because nobody replied, at the timing you set. It waits for your tap, then goes by email.
It drafts. A person at your firm approves. Nothing reaches a client without that, and it never spends your money.
Gmail and Outlook. Google and Microsoft calendars. Xero, two-way. Dropbox. Telegram and Slack. Your website enquiry form. Nothing else to buy and nothing to migrate on day one.
