From spreadsheets to a system.

MIY Outdoor build premium outdoor living systems in Perth, sold three ways, run by hand. We replaced the manual back office with a custom platform and a site that turns ad spend into closeable leads.

// the challenge

A great product on a manual back office.

01

Leads lived in notebooks and spreadsheets; follow-ups relied on memory.

02

Every install quote was built by hand from rate tables: slow and error-prone.

03

Three reseller tiers and size-based pricing made the “right” price a memory test.

04

A 27,000-line WordPress quoting plugin threw gateway errors and was fragile.

The colour-coded spreadsheet MIY used to track leads and quotes
// before, every lead, quote and follow-up tracked by hand

// what we built

One platform. No re-keying.

A single custom platform, MIY-Hub, connected to a refreshed website. One database, three surfaces.

01

The admin hub

A fast operations console: Leads, Quotes and Orders on a kanban board, a quote builder with automatic pricing, and branded PDFs + emails from the same data.

02

The public quote experience

Customers get a private link to Accept, Request Changes or Decline, then pay by card or bank transfer. Deposit-now / pay-on-completion is handled per quote, automatically.

03

A lead engine, not a brochure

The refreshed site tells the product story across all four systems and turns every enquiry into a structured, tracked lead, with a DIY instant-price calculator feeding straight in.

// the results

The leads were never the problem. Converting them was.

Same ad spend, same ~14 leads a week, but now every one lands structured, gets a fast on-brand quote, and can be accepted and paid online. The result: over $85,000 of work signed in two weeks.

A systems problem. Not a product one.

We take businesses stuck on spreadsheets, manual processes and software that holds them back, and build the custom platform that lets them scale. Sound like you? Let’s talk.
