Now in private beta · for small custom-build shops

The quiet software for the way you already work.

Plumb turns your Canva quotes into projects, tracks materials and tasks through to install, and keeps Xero and Melio linked — without turning your shop into an ERP. Built for iPad, phone, and laptop.

Plays nicely with the tools you already use
01Who it's for

For shops where the work is custom and the margins are thin.

i.

Your quotes live in Canva.

You've spent years making them look right. You don't want a new quoting tool — you want somewhere to file each Canva quote, keep it in a limbo until the client responds, and turn accepted ones into projects without typing it all over again.

ii.

The schedule lives in five places.

A sticky note on the table saw. A group text about the install van. A spreadsheet. A whiteboard with last month's job still on it. Things slip — the wrong hardware shows up, or doesn't. Plumb collects schedule, tasks, and material readiness in one scannable view.

iii.

Xero and Melio work — they just don't talk to the job.

You pay vendors in Melio. You invoice in Xero. Plumb links those records back to the project, read-only, so you can see what's been paid on Hollings without leaving the job.

iv.

Most software is too much.

ERPs want a purchasing department and an operations manager. You don't have either. Plumb is deliberately small — one owner, a few makers, and the clarity to finish the bench on Monday.

02 How it works

A small set of things, done carefully.

Four workflows cover most of a custom shop's day. Plumb doesn't try to be your CRM, your shop-floor controller, or your accounting system — just the thread that connects them.

Capture

Paste a Canva link. Or drop a PDF. That's the quote.

No line-item form to rebuild your Canva work. A quote in Plumb is a record with a title, a client, an amount, and the original document attached. It sits in a pending stage until accepted or declined.

  • Canva link or PDF — whichever you already use
  • Pending / Accepted / Declined — nothing more
  • One tap to convert an accepted quote into a full project

Pipeline

A board that matches the way the shop actually moves.

Every project sits in exactly one column — from quote draft through install. Scannable on an iPad propped on the bench. Touch-and-hold to move a job forward. No clicks through five screens to see what's happening.

  • Stages tuned to custom-build: Drafting, Materials, Build, Install
  • Each card shows next milestone and open tasks at a glance
  • Drag between columns; status updates everywhere

Tasks

A task list per job, and a single inbox for today.

Each project carries its own checklist — from “mill uprights” to “confirm install crew.” They all roll up to one “My Tasks” view grouped by Today / Tomorrow / This week. Tick things off from your phone in the van, or the iPad at the bench.

  • Assign to a maker, set a due date, keep a priority
  • Global task inbox roll-up, no configuration
  • Works offline on iPad — syncs when you're back on wifi

Materials

Know what's in the shop before install day.

Track every line item through ordered → received → checked. Tie each to a vendor so you know who's slowing you down. When you receive something, the pipeline card flips to “Materials · Ready” automatically.

  • Line items with vendor, cost, and status
  • Linked bills from Melio show as read-only payment records
  • Project status advances when the last item is received
