StashGrade Launch
The right tools, set up for you.
You already know the software your business needs. What you don't have is the six weekends it takes to set it up right. Launch is done-for-you setup: we install, configure, and validate your stack using playbooks we've run before, and you sign off item by item until everything is live.
The graveyard of good software
Every contractor has one: the CRM someone bought at a trade show, half set up, abandoned by March. The payroll switch that never happened because the busy season hit. The tool wasn't the problem. The 40 hours of setup nobody had was the problem.
How Launch works
Four steps, in the open, with you signing off at every one.
What you get out of it
Set up right the first time
Job costing that matches how you bid. A chart of accounts that matches how you build. The difference between software you use and software you fight is the setup.
Validated on your real jobs
Nothing goes live on faith. Your actual estimates, invoices, and payroll runs go through the new setup before you rely on it.
A defined finish line
Launch is a list you can see, with an end. Every item gets signed off by you, and when the list is done, the setup work is done.
Playbooks, because we've done this before
Nothing we set up for you is invented for you. Each playbook is the same setup we've run for other contractors, refined every time we run it. That's what makes the finish line real: we know what each item takes before we start.
| Field ops | Job management and scheduling setup, job costing wired to your job types |
| Books | Accounting cleanup, chart of accounts by job type, multi-entity structure |
| People | Payroll setup, crews and office on one clean run |
| Spend | Company cards and spend controls, so field purchases stop being mysteries |
| StashGrade | Onboarding itself: connected, graded, and reading your real margins |
One number. No meter.
You've been burned by the other way. Hourly consulting means the meter runs while someone learns on your dime. Project quotes mean change orders. Launch is one flat monthly fee, agreed up front, that covers whatever it takes to get your list live. If we're slow, that's our problem. When everything is validated, the setup fee stops and your plan converts to light monthly support so what we built stays working.
Launch sets it up. Integrations make it talk. StashGrade grades it.
Launch gets the right tools installed and configured. When your apps need to pass data to each other, that's built-for-you integrations. And once clean data flows into clean books, StashGrade shows you margin by job type, cost creep, and your grade, sharper than it ever could on a messy stack.
