More than 10,000 quotes were prepared by installers using the Installer Award-winning Framepoint app last month (March 2021). The app was pioneered by the software company Tommy Trinder.
“We are pretty gob-smacked by the numbers,” said the app’s founder and CEO, Chris Brunsdon. “Usage of the app has grown five-fold in one year. And the values are eyewatering too; just under £56m worth of work was quoted to homeowners in March!”
According to Tommy Trinder, the number of installers using Framepoint continues to grow; a further 70 installation companies signed up to use the service in the first quarter of 2021. “Quoting on Framepoint is fast,” explained Chris. “It saves installers time. In an effort to claw back valuable hours, our existing subscribers are quoting more and more of their work through the platform. Whilst the market remains buoyant, installers are seeking to maximise efficiency and make hay while the sun shines.”
The firm reports that on average, a homeowner receives two quotes from the platform. Around 60% of homeowners also receive a ‘makeover’ – a rendering of their new windows and doors super-imposed over an image of their property. High average quote values are also a feature; the average quote prepared for a homeowner on Framepoint now stands at
over £5,400 and is continuing to rise, they say.
Upselling is key, said Chris: “Framepoint allows installers to quickly and easily show off premium features such as foils, dual colours, dummy vents, mechanical joints, flush casements and surface mounted bars. It’s no surprise that this helps installers upsell.” Find out more about Framepoint, and book a free demo, online at www.tommytrinder.com.
