Window and door business software is an online tool that helps window and door installers handle everything from lead management to designing, estimating, project management, invoicing and more. It is an umbrella term used to describe software that helps manage every part of a window and door business by streamlining processes and optimizing workflows while preserving the client experience.

With so many contractors looking to digitize their business, there are many types of window and door software available on the market today. When looking for a software that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features:

• Lead Management: Any window and door software should help you better manage your lead pipeline. It should be easy to see the status of all leads quickly, easy to find and communicate with leads and simple to tap into old leads when business is slow.
• Project Management: Managing projects requires a ton of work, so your window and door business software should come equipped with tools that help you prioritize projects, delegate work, build schedules and more. By investing in a quality window and door software, you can set yourself up for smoother projects and better client experiences.
• Financial Tools: From getting paid on time to preparing for tax season, your window and door software should have robust, yet intuitive financial tools that encourage you to keep your finances organized without taking up too much of your time. Look for software with online payment tools to get paid faster or integrations to save time on double-data entry.
