Design Your Lights
Customers design their own lights.
On your website, homeowners add a photo, pick one of six looks and see their own house lit in about 15 to 30 seconds. They press Send, and your office gets a new customer and a Job with the design, the photo and the measurements. See Christmas light design software
Their photoTheir designPhoto to Quote
Quotes that start filled in.
The house photo is measured, with the garage door as the ruler. When you open the quote, it already has the lines: color-matched C7s with clips, minis for trees, cords, a timer, install and removal, with feet turned into strands from your own price list. You check the numbers and send. See Christmas light quoting software
One Job
One Job, start to finish.
Every job lives on one record: customer, quote, invoice, payments, install date, gate code, photos and repairs. You move it along with one stage menu, in two clicks, in any direction. Money updates itself. The stage only moves when you move it. See the Christmas light CRM
Customer Page
A customer page that follows the season.
Quote, deposit, install countdown, “Your crew is on the way”, “Your lights are up!”, then the take-down notice. After install, customers tap “Something’s out?” to report where and what, with a photo.
Install Day
Built for install day.
Gate codes pop up on the crew’s lock screen as they arrive. Stops go in best order by drive time, the truck load list builds itself, ladders are checked back in before a job closes, and it all works with no signal. See Christmas light scheduling software
“I run a Christmas lighting company. Every software I tried was built for plumbers or lawn crews, so I built Light Ops inside The Light Guys. One Job holds everything, from the homeowner designing their lights on our website to the last repair in December.”
