Example · An electrical contractor
Lantern Way: requests, quotes and jobs in one place
An electrician's website with a quote request, the office's requests inbox, a good, better and best quote builder the customer approves online, and the jobs board by electrician: one system, with mr-bill keeping quotes moving and the week booked.

Try it
Ask for a quote on the site or in its chat, then follow it into the requests inbox, the good, better and best quote builder and the jobs board.
From a notepad quote to a job on the board
Before
Quotes typed at night, jobs on a whiteboard
Requests by voicemail, quotes in a word processor, and a schedule only the office can read.
Now
Request, quote, job, without retyping
A request becomes a quote with three options, the customer approves one, and the job lands on the board.
Look around
Each part of the app, as it looks with the made-up data. Open any of them live.
A chat on the contractor's own site
A homeowner asks about an EV charger or a panel upgrade and files a quote request in the chat. It lands in the office's inbox. Safety first: anything urgent gets "switch off the breaker if safe and call us". In the demo it's an example conversation: scripted, with made-up data, and nothing is sent.
Every request, ready to quote
Requests from the site, the chat and the phone, with the job pulled out of each. Beside them, what runs on its own: new requests sorted, quotes waiting on a customer put on the call list.
The week, by electrician
Approved jobs on each electrician's week, from scheduled to en route to done, with a lane for jobs that still need a time. Ask mr-bill to schedule one and the board moves.
The contractor's public site
Services, service area and a quote request with photos, in the company's own look.
Quoting from the truck
The same quote builder on a phone, with the total kept in view.
