A day with Klusmaat
Last night until 10 PM behind the laptop. Manually calculating m², looking up prices.
Dictate after the inspection: "Exterior painting, 140m² wood, sanding and 2 coats, Sigma S2U Nova." Quote sent the same day.
You are on the scaffolding. Phone in your pocket. Missed call. Forget to call back.
Klusmaat answers, handles the question about the schedule, sends you a summary.
"I will do it tonight." Three weeks later still not sent.
Job completed in the car. Invoice with iDEAL link on its way to the customer.
