Clients want estimates fast. You're spending 4-6 hours per estimate in Google Sheets, Excel, or piecing it together from notes. By the time you send it, the client has already called another contractor.
Result: Lost jobs. Slower sales cycle.
Customer info in HubSpot. Invoices in Quickbooks. Time tracking in Toggl. Payroll in another system. Communication history in email. Nobody knows what's the "source of truth."
Result: Errors. Confusion. Wasted time.
Hours go to Toggl. You manually transfer them to Quickbooks. Quickbooks calculates payroll. You cross-reference with invoices. Every week, the numbers don't match.
Result: 5+ hours/week wasted. Payroll errors.
You ship invoices but don't know which jobs made money and which didn't. You're bidding based on gut feel, not data. You leave money on the table.
Result: Poor pricing decisions. Lost margin.
Use your phone. Photos, measurements, notes, client preferences. All organized in TruNorth. Syncs to office automatically.
Photos + measurements auto-populate. Material costs pull from your past jobs. You define scope clearly. Professional PDF generates instantly.
Email professional PDF to client. They see exact scope + pricing. No surprises = no scope creep. You win more jobs.
Approved estimate becomes project. Team clocks time. Time feeds payroll automatically. Invoice generates from actual hours worked. No manual reconciliation.
I'm Jay. I ran Frontier TimberCraft for years. I lived the pain:
One Monday night, I thought: "Why isn't there a tool built BY contractors FOR contractors?"
So I built it. TruNorth is the tool I wish I had when running Frontier TimberCraft.

π‘ The Real Difference

No more scattered customer info. Unified CRM + history + communication + projects. Single source of truth.
Clock in/out on site. Hours feed directly to payroll. No manual entry. Offline capable.
Time β Payroll automatic. Taxes calculated. No reconciliation. Built-in, not bolt-on.
See what's profitable. Make better bids. Stop leaving money on table.
Auto-generate from estimates. Email to clients. Stripe integration. Get paid faster.

HubSpot is built for sales teams, not contractors. Serviceware has been around longer but looks outdated. TruNorth is built BY a contractor (meβI ran Frontier TimberCraft) FOR contractors. Every feature solves real problems I faced: fast estimation, data in one place, time-to-payroll automation, profit visibility. It's not generic software forcing you to adaptβit's built around how you actually work.
In real practice: 30-45 minutes for most estimates. You're not starting from scratchβphotos + measurements sync from site visit, material costs pull from past jobs, you just adjust scope and price. Compare to 4-6 hours in Google Sheets. That's 3-5 hours per estimate saved.
15-day free trial at your chosen plan level. Credit card required upfront (increases commitment, reduces churn). Cancel anytime at least 2 days before your billing cycle to avoid charges. No surprises.
New business? 15 minutes with basic info (name, EIN, address, logo). Already established? 45-60 minutes. We can import your historic data from files or competitor platformsβjust point us to your folder and we'll read it in. Recommended: start new projects in TruNorth for cleaner management.
You're probably paying $240-300/month for 5 disconnected tools (HubSpot $50 + Quickbooks $30 + Quickbooks Payroll $80 + Toggl $10 + others). TruNorth is $149 all-in. You save $100-150/month in tool costs PLUS 4-6 hours/week in admin time ($200-300/week value). That's $1,200-1,500/month in value.
Yes on both counts. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Enterprise-grade PostgreSQL (Supabase) with automatic redundant backups. But more importantly: you own your data completely. We don't sell, share, or use your customer information. Export anytime in standard formats, no lock-in. See our privacy policy.
Multiple ways to reach us: Live phone support during business hours, text messaging for quick questions, email for detailed issues. We even have a partner that can provide remote desktop sharing if you need hands-on help. You'll be assigned to a person on our support team who knows your account.
TruNorth brings everything together. One platform. 30-45 min estimates. Complete client visibility. Real profit data.
Founding Member pricing: $149/month (locked forever). All features included. Up to 5 team members.
