Corvo ApexFrom photo to invoice: the digital office assistant for contractors and carpenters
A customer wants a dormer, a new kitchen or an extension, and sends a message saying "could you take a look?". No photo, no measurements, and by the time you ring back in the evening they've already asked three other builders.

Try free for 14 days. No payment details, ends automatically. How the trial works
In building and renovation work, everything hinges on a good first impression and a clear plan. Jobs run over several days, sometimes weeks, with materials that need to arrive on time and customers who want to know when you're starting. Keeping track of it all in a diary and a notebook takes more time than the work itself.
How Corvo Apex helps, in three steps
A request you can actually work with
The assistant asks the right questions: what kind of job, which room, rough measurements, photos of the situation and the preferred timeframe. You get a request that lets you judge straight away whether it fits and roughly what it will cost.
Scheduling across several days
A three-day job sits in the schedule as a whole, with the people assigned to it. The customer gets a confirmation and a reminder, and can ask how things are going over WhatsApp.
A work order per day, one invoice
At the end of each day you log what was done, with hours and materials. When the job is finished, the invoice is ready with everything on it and goes to the customer with a payment link once you've approved it.
Set up in the language of your trade
For a contractor you see requests with photos and measurements, jobs spanning several days, and the hours and materials for each job.
Not just software, but a partner who thinks with you

One fixed point of contact, and we'll visit if you want us to.
A three-person building firm in Borne
This is a worked example, not a real customer. As soon as there's a real case, you'll find it here.
Starting point. A small building firm doing renovations, dormers and kitchens. Requests come in via WhatsApp, the contact form and the phone. Nearly every one needs an extra round of calls to get photos and measurements, and some people have stopped responding by then.
What we set up. Office Solo for the owner, with an intake per type of job, multi-day job scheduling, daily work orders and one invoice per job.
What you'd see after a month. Requests arrive complete, so the owner can give an indication much faster. Customers know when work starts, and the invoice is ready on the day the job is finished.
Questions from the field
Can customers send several photos?
Yes. The intake asks for photos of the situation, and they all appear with the request in the dashboard.
Can I schedule a job across several days?
Yes. A job can span multiple days and people, and sits in the schedule as a whole.
Does the assistant write quotes?
No. It makes sure you have everything you need to quote quickly, and can book a site visit.
Can I record extra work?
Yes. When closing a job you can add extra work and materials so they end up on the invoice.
Does it work for a sole trader?
Yes. Office Solo is designed precisely for one-person businesses.
