Systems Audit
The audit identifies which leak is biggest — slow proposal turnaround, quotes going cold mid-cycle, project visibility, or missed reviews — and what install tier closes it.

Common challenges
What we hear from systems for general contractors that keep long sales cycles from going cold teams
01
You walk a kitchen with a homeowner. Send a $42k quote on Tuesday. They're polite but quiet. Two weeks pass. You forget to follow up. They sign with someone else.
Impact: Remodel sales cycles run 3–8 weeks. Quotes that go silent for more than 5 days lose against competitors who follow up on a schedule.
02
A multi-stage remodel hits week 4. The client texts at 9pm asking when the cabinets arrive. You don't know without calling the supplier in the morning.
Impact: Project visibility is the difference between a stressed client and a referral. Without a single source of truth, every status question becomes an emergency.
03
Three referral leads come in this month. None get a written proposal within a week. By the time you send them, two of the three already have signed contracts elsewhere.
Impact: Contractor referrals have a 4–7 day window before they cool. Slow proposals lose well-qualified work to faster shops.
04
A finished project closes. The homeowner is happy. Six months later they tell their neighbor they remodeled — but can't remember your name. No review request ever went out.
Impact: Reviews and referrals are the lifeblood of GCs. Without an automatic post-job review request, you leave the most valuable part of word-of-mouth on the table.
What we build
What we build for systems for general contractors that keep long sales cycles from going cold teams
Proposal-to-signed flow
Quote sent → automated follow-up at day 3, 7, and 14 if no signature → reminder to the contractor at day 21 to call directly. No quote dies in silence.

Demo, rough-in, drywall, finish — each stage has its own confirmations to client and crew. Everyone knows what's happening this week.
Referral lead capture
Inbound referral leads get a same-day auto-reply with project intake form. You walk in to the first conversation already knowing the scope.
Post-job review + referral request
Within 48 hours of project signoff, an automated request goes out for a Google review and a referral. Photos optional, just one click.

Open Missed-Call CalculatorFrequently asked questions
Will this work with BuilderTrend, JobTread, or my existing project management?+
Yes. We connect Systemly's automation layer (lead capture, quote follow-up, review requests) to your existing project software via Zapier or API. Most GCs keep their build software and use Systemly for the front-end and back-end.
How do you handle change orders?+
Change orders get tracked against the original proposal in the CRM with written approval flow before work begins. The audit trail keeps client and contractor on the same page.
What about subcontractor coordination?+
We can wire sub assignments into project stages so the right crew gets the right confirmation and reminder before each phase. The system doesn't replace your trade software — it connects it.
Will the website actually rank for "kitchen remodel [my city]"?+
GBP optimization and local SEO are part of the build. We focus on the searches that actually convert — "kitchen remodel near me," "general contractor [city]" — not vanity rankings on broad terms.
How fast can we launch?+
Most installs go live within 1–2 weeks. The Foundation tier is fastest. Growth and Full System include a longer post-launch tuning window so the proposal flow matches your actual sales cycle.
What does the 30-day guarantee cover for a GC install?+
For Growth and Full System: if 30 days after launch the auto-replies, confirmations, reminders, and invoice nudges aren't running, we keep working — same monthly bundle, no extra invoice — until they are.
