Kansas City metro, contractors
Your estimate is already typed. Why type it again?
We connect the tools you already pay for, so the numbers only get entered once.
Most contractors we meet here aren't slow at the work. They're slow between the tools, and that gap doesn't show up on any report.
$250, credited 100% toward the first work you hire us for. At your place, anywhere in the metro.
What's the catch?
We charge because a free session has to end in a pitch to pay for itself.
Some of what we find, you can do yourself. We'll show you how. It's your system. You deserve to understand how it runs. What's genuinely beyond you, we build, and the $250 credits toward it. If you'd rather not touch any of it, we'll handle the whole thing.
One KC contractor, five months
~37 hrs/month that is the typing that stopped for one contractor, not a promise about your shop.
Sharkitect Digital builds estimate-to-invoice automation for contractors in the Kansas City metro. We connect the job platform, the scheduler and the accounting tool a contractor already pays for. A number gets typed once instead of twice. One Kansas City contractor ran about 300 estimates through that connection over five months and stopped about 37 hours a month of retyping. A person still approves every estimate before a customer sees it. Assessments happen in person anywhere in the metro, and remotely everywhere else in the US.
Where the hours actually go
A job comes in. Somebody builds the estimate in the job platform. The customer approves it. Then somebody opens the accounting tool and types the same numbers in again, line by line.
Nothing here is broken. Both tools are doing exactly what you bought them to do. The gap is the typing between them, and it costs a few minutes each time.
A few minutes, repeated every time an estimate goes through, adds up to most of a work week every month. And it's the kind of cost nobody puts on a report, because it isn't a problem. It's just Tuesday.
It also costs you twice. Once in the hours. Again in the typos, because a number typed twice is a number that can disagree with itself.
Local proof
A Kansas City contractor, not a stock photo
An award-winning, family-owned flooring and remodeling company in the Kansas City area was hand-building every estimate and typing it twice: once into Monday.com, again into QuickBooks. We connected the two systems they already paid for.
The write-up shows what we connected, how the number was measured, and why a person still approves every estimate before it goes out.
What this looks like in a contracting business
We start with whichever one is costing you most. Often that is the first. Not always.
The quote you already built becomes the invoice, without anyone retyping it. This is the one we have measured, and for that contractor it was the biggest single pile of hours.
A change gets approved on site and then has to reach accounting. On most jobs that trip happens by memory, text message, or a note somebody meant to deal with later.
In a shop of 5 to 30 people there is almost always one person who knows how the numbers get from one system to the other. Nobody wrote that down. It works until they take a week off.
Follow-up that holds up fine in February collapses in the first hot week of summer, which is exactly when a lead is worth the most.
You keep your software
We don't sell you a platform and we don't ask you to move off the tools your crew already knows. Your people learned that software the hard way. Making them learn it again is a cost, not a fix.
We've connected job platforms, schedulers, accounting tools, CRMs and the spreadsheet that somehow ended up running a whole department. Most business software has a way to talk to other software. When a tool genuinely doesn't, we say so early rather than building something fragile around it.
And a person stays in the loop where money is involved. Nothing prices a job or reaches a customer without somebody approving it. That's a design decision, not a limitation.
How it starts
What Kansas City contractors ask us
Who does estimate-to-invoice automation for contractors in Kansas City?
We do, and we're based here. Sharkitect Digital maps how a contracting business actually runs and builds the connections between the tools it already pays for. Our first published case study is a Kansas City contractor who stopped retyping about 300 estimates over five months, about 37 hours a month. Call (816) 443-0826 and you'll get a person in this time zone.
Will it send an estimate to a customer without me seeing it?
No. A person approves every estimate before it goes out. We build it that way on purpose, the automation removes the typing, not the judgment.
Do I have to switch software?
No. We connect what you already run. Your crew learned those tools the hard way, and making them start over is a cost, not a fix.
What does it cost to find out?
$250 for the Architecture Assessment, credited 100% toward the first work you hire us for. If you hire us afterward it comes straight off the first invoice. If you don't, you keep the map.
How long does a build take?
It depends on how many tools are involved and how cleanly they talk to each other. We'll give you a real number after the Assessment, not before it. Anyone quoting you a timeline without looking at your systems is guessing.
Do you only work with flooring companies?
No. Flooring is just where our first published case study came from. The gap we found there, typing the same numbers into two systems, isn't a flooring problem. It's a job-platform-to-accounting problem. If your crew does that too, in roofing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing or general contracting, the shape is the same and only the software is different.
How small is too small?
If you're doing a handful of estimates a month, the typing isn't costing you enough to justify hiring anyone, and we'll tell you that rather than sell you something. In what we have seen, the math starts working somewhere around five people.
Which parts of the metro?
Both sides of the state line and the surrounding suburbs: Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Independence, Lenexa, Shawnee, Leawood, Prairie Village, Liberty and Blue Springs. Just outside that? Ask. The answer is usually yes.
Let's find out what the typing is costing you.
60 to 90 minutes at your place, anywhere in the Kansas City metro. We'll follow one real job from the first phone call to the paid invoice and show you where the hours go.
$250. You leave with what's slowing you down, what it costs, and what the fix is. It credits in full toward the first work you hire us for.
