Since 2016 we have handled 1,832 jobs for around 1,200 small businesses across Bristol and the surrounding area. Below are six of them, described plainly: what the business needed, what we set up in the app, and what changed in their week-to-week routine.
Food and drink
A two-shop bakery in Southville was copying till totals into a notebook each night. We connected both tills to the app, set up daily takings summaries and added a supplier payment calendar, so flour and butter bills stop landing as surprises.
Trades
A three-van electrical contractor needed receipts off the dashboard and into the books. Each engineer now photographs materials receipts on site, and the app matches them to the right job so invoices to customers carry accurate costs.
Personal services
Five chair renters, each paying on a different day. We built a simple rent tracker with automatic reminders and a monthly statement per stylist, which replaced a spreadsheet the owner updated by hand every Sunday evening.
Retail
An independent gift shop with seasonal peaks. We set up cash-flow forecasting around the autumn and December rush, so the owner could see when stock orders would squeeze the account and plan payments to wholesalers accordingly.
Freelance
A solo designer with eight to ten active clients and a habit of chasing late payments by email. The app now sends invoices from her phone, flags anything overdue after 14 days and keeps a running figure for her quarterly tax set-aside.
Hospitality
A cafe with twelve part-time staff and shifting rotas. We linked recorded hours to payroll figures in the app, so wage costs are visible against weekly sales and the manager can adjust shifts before the month closes, not after.
If you want to find the case closest to your own situation, this table shows what each business started with and which parts of the app they use most.
