Introducing integrateCONNECT: the perfect first step for growing window and door businesses

Start your software journey…

Everyone we speak to wants to grow their business.

They want more sales, bigger projects, less hassle, but they often don’t make the connection between their lack of growth to inconsistent processes and departmental silos.

After all, why would you? Every new growth phase of a business comes with unique challenges. However, the systems that serve you, the tools you accept as ‘just part of the day job’ can often be the very things that hold you back.

integrateCONNECT, the new product from EndtoEnd IT, is being launched at this year’s FIT Show, is designed to be exactly that – everything you need to start connecting drawings to professional and personalised quotes. Read on to find out more…

We’ve been working with several industry-leading window and door businesses for over seven years now. Some companies have been using software that hasn’t grown with them, some have opted for options that didn’t deliver, and some feel they are not yet established enough to take on sophisticated software.

And herein lies the problem. When you’re trying to grow, you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place—you need better systems but often are trying to cross bridges you haven’t reached yet, so you don’t want to make too big a commitment.

When we asked ourselves what window and door businesses NEED as a first step, the answer was pretty simple – you need something which can design windows and create professional quotes all in one place to help you stand out, work better and win more projects.

That’s exactly what integrateCONNECT is.

As the name suggests, it’s your starting point for connecting different aspects of your business, beginning with the critical design-to-quote process.

Many window and door manufacturers, especially heritage timber specialists, reach a tipping point where manually connecting multiple tools just doesn’t work anymore—but they’re not necessarily ready for a comprehensive software suite. You might be asking:

• Is it too early to bring software into the business?
• Where do we begin with window and door software?
• Will the software understand or ‘get’ our industry and our business?

We’re excited to share that integrateCONNECT, our new product launching at this year’s FIT Show, is designed to answer these questions by providing exactly what you need right now—nothing more, nothing less.

The high cost of disconnected systems

You’ve likely experienced it yourself:

• Multiple programmes scattered across your business
• Multiple browsers always open
• Multiple spreadsheets that never quite sync up
• Late nights spent on pricing and quotations just to maintain service standards
• Costly mistakes when manually transferring information between systems

These disconnected processes aren’t just frustrating—they’re holding back your growth. Every time you switch between systems or duplicate information, you’re creating opportunities for errors and wasting valuable time that could be spent serving customers or taking on new projects.

In the past year alone, businesses using our software have processed orders totalling £87 million (a 74% increase), seen a 30% increase in order value from larger projects, and enjoyed a 50% boost in quote-to-order conversion rate. Most impressively, they’ve saved 1,179 days of time through faster quoting!

Streamlining your process with integrateCONNECT

integrateCONNECT answers the most pressing need first—bringing your design, pricing, and quoting into one seamless system.

Designed by window manufacturers for window manufacturers, it’s not just another off-the-shelf solution—it’s software that truly ‘gets’ your business. Our intuitive drawing board feature lets you create professional, detailed designs and instantly generate branded quotes without switching between applications—eliminating manual duplication and reducing costly errors.

The beauty of integrateCONNECT is its simplicity. You don’t need to overhaul your entire operation or invest in a complete software ecosystem before you’re ready. You can begin with just this one module, mastering the design and quoting process, and then expand when the time is right for your business.

You can use it on your own, add users as needed, or gradually incorporate elements of other modules as your business grows, making the first step into dedicated software as smooth and beneficial as possible.

Growing at your own pace

As your business evolves and new challenges emerge, our wider integrate software ecosystem can grow with you. The modular approach means you never need to implement more than you need right now:

• integrateCONNECT — Your starting point for seamless window and door design, pricing, and professional quoting.
• integrateBUILD — For when you’re ready to streamline your manufacturing preparation.
• integrateCRM — For better customer relationship management as your customer base grows.
• integratePRO — For production management when scaling becomes your focus.
• integrateFIT — For streamlining installation logistics when they become more complex.

Each module builds seamlessly with the others, but you only implement what you need, when you need it—ensuring you’re never overwhelmed with features you’re not ready to use, while still having a clear growth path for the future.

How integrateCONNECT fits into your business

integrateCONNECT is your perfect first step to take control of your processes, scale up your business, and take on more work with confidence. On its own, it provides the foundations for growth—and for many businesses, this single module delivers immediate ROI through faster quoting and higher win rates.

All integrate users quickly realise they’re using something bespoke, not something generic. You get the flexibility (and our support) to bring your specific business requirements into your user experience. Your quotes are automatically generated with your own branding front and centre after you’ve designed windows using the drawing and costing tools.

We don’t believe in rigid systems that force change that don’t fit. Instead, we provide software that meets your needs, helping you improve how you work and grow—starting exactly where you are now and expanding only when it makes sense for your business.
