The business

What they needed

Smith Mine is Matt Smith's excavation, fill dirt and grading business in Maiden, NC, working across Catawba and Lincoln counties. He had a 5.0 rating from 40 Google reviews and no website: his Google listing sent people to Facebook.

Every load of dirt or gravel was priced over the phone, one call at a time, which meant stopping work to do the math. Deposits, balances, rain days and reminders all lived in his head and his phone.

What we built

The build, screen by screen

We built the site around how his business actually runs. A customer picks a material, says how much and enters an address; the site measures the real driving distance from the pit and prices the load on the spot, delivery included. A calculator turns length, width and depth into yards or tons, and a service area checker answers whether he comes out to them.

The load is priced on the spot
A customer picks the material, says how much and enters the address. The site measures the real driving distance from the pit and shows the delivered price, so nobody has to call and wait for Matt to do the math.
How much do I need?
Length, width and depth go in. Yards of dirt or tons of gravel come out, already priced. The question that used to start every phone call now answers itself.
Deposit, balance, signature, receipt
A $100 deposit holds the day. When Matt confirms the date he sends the balance as a pay link from his phone, or shows a QR code so the customer pays in the yard. They sign on the phone when the load is down and the PDF receipt sends itself.
His own dashboard
Today and tomorrow's run sheet with a 5-day forecast, who is waiting on a call, what is still owed, jobs, a calendar, quotes, customers, money and prices. He can take a job from a phone call and send it to a driver.
Rain days, and edits from his phone
When it rains he moves the whole day at once and everyone on it with an email hears about it. He changes his own words, services, questions, photos and town pages from his phone, and any of the last 30 saves can be put back.

The whole build

A $100 deposit holds the day. When Matt confirms the date he sends the balance as a pay link from his phone, or shows a QR code so the customer can pay in the yard. The customer signs on the phone when the load is down and a PDF receipt is issued automatically.

Clearing, grading, concrete and demo come in as requests, and Matt types a price to generate the pay link. Behind it all is his own dashboard: today and tomorrow's run sheet with a 5-day forecast, jobs, a calendar with days off, a quote log, customers, money, prices, a website editor, team and settings. He can take a job from a phone call, send a job to a driver, and move a whole rain day at once, with everyone on it who has an email told automatically.

Day-before reminders, balance reminders, abandoned deposit alerts, review requests, quote follow-ups and a Monday digest run on their own. He edits his own words, services, FAQ, photos and town pages from his phone, with the last 30 saves kept so any change can be put back.
