The majority of integrate users win £100k+ orders. Could you be next?

Last year, we showed you the numbers proving integrate drives real growth: 74% increases, 50% conversion boosts, £87 million in processed orders.

But we all know one strong year doesn’t prove a trend, so the question we asked was: was it a one-off? Or are integrate users genuinely building momentum year after year?

So we reran the numbers because it isn’t just about our growth – it’s about what you could be achieving.

• Have we done it again and kept the trend going?
• Do we save more businesses more time and money?
• Is it now time for your business to start growing with EndtoEnd?

We’ll tell you now: all the answers are “Yes”, but read on to find out exactly what’s been happening.

Quote conversion increased a further 4%

You’ll know just as well as we do. It’s easy to get so immersed in your day-to-day work that you forget to celebrate how much you’ve achieved.

For us at EndtoEnd, day-to-day means responding quickly to customer queries, providing onboarding and training for new and existing businesses, and testing and rolling out integrate software updates you’ve asked for. It’s all worth it, but it’s also important to take a moment to look at the success we’ve seen. There’s been a lot.

Quoting and pricing is far less time-consuming for integrate users than it is using manual systems or multiple pieces of software. Even so, you still want to know the time you spend prospecting is working, so we’re also pleased to show that quote conversion is up 4%. We’ve also seen an 18% increase in orders processed, with the total value of orders reaching nearly £162 million.

Let’s not forget, this success is building on record growth last year as well. Against a tough economic backdrop, we’re bucking the trend, and our work is helping our customers in the industry to keep bringing in the sales.

18% more orders, 8% higher value – growth that compounds

Number of orders is one thing – they keep things ticking over. But being busy alone doesn’t equal success; growth happens when the quality of your orders is also rising.

We’ve also seen an 8% growth in overall order value. What does this tell us? Businesses using EndtoEnd software are confidently taking on (and winning) larger, more ambitious projects.

This is at a time when, for many, while their orders are level their margins are lower – not many see growth, as borne out in the wider economy.

This brings confidence in your growth, and when you’re confident in your processes from sales to quotes, and all the way through to design, spec and installation, you’re able to project that confidence to your future customers.

We’re seeing a measurable impact.

‘50k-plus’ projects: The right software helps you scale up

What’s best… one big project, or three small ones?

It can vary, but you’ll know costs and economies of scale work better when you can secure the ‘big ones’.

When we analysed the sizes of the orders our customers won this year, nearly all our window and door companies secured an order over £50k. Even better, over half (56%) won orders exceeding £100k, and more than a third (35%) brought in projects worth £300k or more.

For mid-sized and growing businesses, these figures are great benchmarks. Whether you’re long-established, re-establishing yourself, just starting out, or already growing well… integrate is the platform to help you scale up.

And because it’s important to us, wherever your window and door business has reached, you can always expect the same human touch and quality service from EndtoEnd.

The time-saving that shows up in your bank balance

As people with genuine industry experience, we’ve been there. Juggling the quoting for work and also the practical jobs that come with managing the manufacturing and installing of windows and doors. We know how processes matter, and how good ones mean everyone can balance their work. That’s why we developed integrate and its modules – integrateCONNECT, integrateBUILD, integrateCRM, intergratePRO and integrateFIT.

Let’s take integrateCONNECT as an example.

Saving half an hour per quote, plus a bit more time on your follow-up and invoicing, might not sound much. But when looked at more closely across all our clients, better processes and regular time-saving added up to 1,221 full days saved just last year. Divide it by 365, factor in a leap year, and you’ll see over three years saved for our software users in just 12 months.

It’s never about buzzwords, complex algorithms or fancy features, although you can imagine there are lots of clever things going on behind the scenes. It’s always about making your working life easier to save your business time and money – with integrate software, you can have both.

A clearer view for window and door businesses

Of course we’re going to celebrate the 59,000 quotes, and the 14,000 orders. It’s right to celebrate the ongoing growth.

But we don’t lose sight of why integrate works for you.

We all want to do a great job when we go to work. Whether you’re a business owner, a sales representative, a window fitter, or pulling the strings back at base, each number tells a story of improved working lives and better services provided for customers.
