Redefining What Contractor Software Should Be
Lynqify was not created to follow a trend. It came from feeling the same frustrations many contractors face, using tools that look good on the surface but still leave us struggling with the day to day work.
If there had been a platform that truly supported the way outdoor living contractors operate, there would have been no need to build another one. But after years of trying to make different systems work, it became clear that something was missing. So we started building a platform that keeps evolving, pays attention to real feedback, and grows with the people who use it.
1. Built to Listen and Keep Improving
Every software seems to start with one good thing that gets them traction. But then it stops there. They do not keep improving or move beyond that first idea.
They could have been so much better if they just listened to feedback. But they do not, and that is not okay.
Software should evolve with us, grow with us, and keep innovating. That is why we are building Lynqify. To listen, improve, and move forward with the people who use it every day.
2. Starting With Outdoor Living in Mind
Most software was built for general contractors, remodelers, or lawn care companies. They say we can use it too, but those systems were never made for us.
Outdoor living projects are unique. The way we estimate, plan, and build doesn’t fit neatly into their templates.
Lynqify is built by an outdoor living contractor for outdoor living contractors. It is designed first with outdoor living in mind, but it is flexible enough for other trades too.
Every feature comes from real experience in the field. It is made for the way we actually work, not the way someone behind a desk thinks we do.
3. Creating a Platform That is Truly All In One
We were tired of running our business through too many tools that barely connect. One for estimating, another for project management, another for CRM, another for job costing, and a lot more for other things we need.
Lynqify started with what matters most, estimating and cost planning, but that is only the beginning. Our vision is to build a connected system that helps contractors manage everything in one place.
Each update moves us closer to that goal and keeps pushing the industry forward.
What Makes Estimating with Lynqify Different?
At Lynqify, we’ve reimagined the estimating process to be intuitive, efficient, and profit-driven—all while staying easy to use. We understand that estimating shouldn’t be hard to understand or overly complicated. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about creating a clear, actionable plan that works for your business and resonates with your clients.
Our tools simplify the process, making it easy to build custom bids, handle project complexities, and maintain full control over your profitability. Whether it’s a straightforward job or a complex, multi-layered bid, Lynqify empowers you to create precise, professional estimates with confidence and ease.
1. Cost and Profit Planner
Lynqify includes a dedicated Cost and Profit Planner to help you bid accurately and plan for success. By entering your company and employee information, along with overhead details, the tool calculates your labor costs to ensure your bids are both competitive and profitable.
Beyond accurate bidding, the planner also provides forecasting for your costs, revenue, and profit, giving you a clear vision of your company’s financial future and enabling smarter business decisions.
2. Labor Costing Assigned to Teams
Lynqify takes the hassle out of updating labor costs by allowing you to assign them to teams instead of individual line items.
Update labor costs at the team level, and changes automatically apply across all related items.
Easily switch between teams (e.g., in-house crew to subcontractors) and see costs adjust instantly.
Set different markups for each team to fine-tune your bids with greater control and flexibility.
3. Production Rates for Consistent Pricing
Set production rates for labor items to eliminate guesswork and ensure consistency. Lynqify allows you to standardize rates for tasks that can be streamlined, while also using historical data from previous projects to adjust and refine production rates for more customized tasks.
4. Material Catalog
Switch materials quickly without needing to rework your entire estimate. Lynqify’s catalog feature allows you to store multiple materials, fees, machinery, and subcontractor costs in a single location, making it easy to toggle between options and adjust pricing on the fly.
5. Preset Groups for Repetitive Tasks
Save time and improve consistency with preset groups for features that require multiple line items. Instead of adding each item one by one, simply create a preset group that includes everything you need. When it’s time to use it, call on the preset group, and all associated line items populate instantly, streamlining your workflow.
6. Multiple Tier Groups
for Complex Sections of a Bid
Lynqify makes it easy to handle detailed sections of a bid with flexible sub-groups.
You can break down complex sections into manageable parts, with totals automatically calculated and rolled up into the main group for clarity and seamless organization.
7. Profit Breakdown and Insights
Lynqify gives you full transparency over your profits with detailed summaries and insights. Break down your profitability by team, department, and item type to get a clear picture of where your money is coming from.
It also tells you how many hours the project needs and allocates them to each team, ensuring you can plan resources efficiently and stay on top of your project timelines.
8. Pricing Snapshot
The Pricing Snapshot provides a high-level overview of the estimate, enabling you to quickly share pricing with your team or clients to confirm budgets before finalizing proposals.
9. Enhanced Proposals
Tailor your proposals to match the scale and complexity of each project. For simple jobs, use the standard proposal format for efficiency. For high-value, high-dollar projects, elevate your presentation with a polished and professional enhanced proposal that leaves a lasting impression.
10. Easy Credit Card Surcharges
We make passing on the credit card surcharge to clients easy. Quickly include the convenience fee directly into your invoices to ensure transparency while keeping the process simple.
