Photos, measurements and voice notes on site
Work starts with the client, not at a desk. Costor App captures the raw material room by room before it disappears into messages and memory.
SoftCode product case
Costor: less chaos from site visit to estimate, documents, costs and payments
Costor collects photos, voice notes, measurements and decisions from the field, then helps turn them into an estimate, work plan, documents, costs and payment control.
It is not a heavyweight ERP and it is not accounting software. It is built for owners of small renovation and construction businesses who need one path from inspection to settlement.

From site visit to settlement
Costor shows how SoftCode builds a focused industry product: real workflow first, then web software, mobile capture, AI support, documents, costs and payments.
Why it is being built
Costor organises the work that usually gets split between phones, notes, spreadsheets and invoices.
On site, teams collect photos, measurements, quick voice notes and client decisions. Back in the office, that raw material has to become an estimate, a plan, a document and eventually a clear view of money. Costor connects those steps so the owner does not keep retyping and reconstructing the same context.

How Costor works
From field material to estimate, documents and money control
Costor starts where renovation work really starts: on site, in a room, with a client and a list of things to clarify. The system helps turn that raw input into an estimate, a plan and later a document.
Draft estimate from a pricebook
The system structures the input and works with labour and material items instead of starting from a blank sheet.
The owner reviews and approves
AI does not send the offer. The expert sees assumptions, corrects quantities, prices and wording, and only then approves the result.
Plan the work
Accepted estimate items can become stages, dates and a clearer plan for the crew.
Create documents
The estimate can lead to PDF output, sales documents and structured invoice workflows without entering the same data again.
Watch costs and payments
Costs, partial payments, unpaid amounts and receipts become visible without pretending to be accounting.
Product modules
What Costor is designed to cover
The modules follow the real operating path: inspection, estimate, pricebook, planning, documents and money. It is not an empty CRM or another spreadsheet with a nicer skin.
01
Dashboard
A quick overview of estimates, documents, payments and items that need attention.
02
Clients
Customer and project history in one place instead of scattered messages and files.
03
Estimates
Working estimates from field material or classic estimates prepared in the office.
04
Costor App
A mobile web app for site photos, dimensions, descriptions and voice notes.
05
Pricebook
A starter pricebook plus the company’s own labour and material positions, so suggestions start from real business data.
06
Schedule
Stages, dates, crew planning and possible conflicts based on accepted work items.
07
Finance view
Sales documents, costs, deposits, partial payments, open amounts and overdue items.
08
Digital invoice flow
A cleaner path from estimate to structured sales document and invoice processing.
09
Extra costs
Receipts, small purchases, subcontractors and expenses that do not arrive through a formal system.
10
Client portal and settings
Company data, estimating parameters, organisation settings and future customer-facing views.
Intelligent support
AI should prepare the draft, not pretend to be the contractor
Costor uses AI where it removes friction: sorting field material, turning voice notes into usable text, matching pricebook items, preparing a draft estimate and highlighting missing context. Quantities, prices, scope and final approval stay with the owner.
From raw input to structure
Photos, measurements and notes can become a first organised work draft.
Voice notes become usable
A quick recording from site can be turned into a clearer description for estimating and office work.
Pricebook-based suggestions
AI should first work with the company’s own positions instead of inventing a quote from nowhere.
Schedule from estimate
Accepted items can become a first project plan that the owner can adjust.
Cost context
Receipts and expenses can be connected with the right job context without becoming accounting.
Human approval
AI drafts and points out gaps. The user reviews, locks, corrects and decides.
Product screens
Costor is already more than a slide deck
The current screens show dashboard, working estimates, Costor App, starter pricebook, schedule, documents, costs and finance status. The product is still being developed, but the operating logic is already clear.

Finance
A practical money view without pretending to be accounting
Costor is not meant to replace an accountant. It gives the owner an operational view: what was estimated, what was invoiced, what was paid, what is still open and what costs belong to the job. That makes money easier to understand before the month is already over.

SoftCode case
Costor shows how SoftCode turns a real workflow into software
The starting point was not a technology stack. It was the working day of a renovation company: inspection, photos, measurements, estimate, schedule, invoice, costs and payment. Only then came the web application, mobile interface, AI support, document logic and integrations. This is how SoftCode builds custom systems: not as a pile of features, but as a tool shaped around how the business actually works.

We first understand where time, information or money gets lost.
Web instead of desktop
The system runs in the browser and does not lock the company to one machine.
Mobile where work starts
If the process begins on site, data capture must work there too.
Useful AI
AI helps prepare and structure work. It does not blindly make decisions.
Documents inside the workflow
Estimates, invoices, costs and payments belong together, not in separate islands.
Built like a SaaS product
Costor is modular, so the product can grow with real market needs.
Who it is for
For teams where the owner still carries too much in their head
Costor is designed for small renovation and construction teams where the owner visits sites, talks to clients, prepares quotes, watches the crew, checks documents and keeps an eye on payments.
Business owner
Sees estimates, documents, costs, payments and open issues in one place.
Field team
Captures photos, measurements and notes in a way the office can actually use.
