The Transformation: How Habitation Peak’s Business Changed
For Alexandre Blanchard, owner of Habitation Peak, the administrative burden of running a growing construction company was stealing his time and energy. Here’s the difference Billdr Pro made.
Before Billdr
- “Enormous hours” spent manually designing quotes, relying on a partner with an infographic design background.
- Used clunky, “Windows 95” style software that was “not intuitive at all”.
- Clients called constantly for “micro-details”, creating interruptions and delays.
- No clear system to track labor costs, making it hard to justify billing.
- Evenings spent catching up on paperwork and administrative tasks.
After Billdr
- “Turnkey solution” for professional, custom-branded quotes that are “pre-mounted” and ready in minutes.
- An intuitive application that’s “really easy” to learn with “a minimum of training.”
- A “game-changing” client dashboard where customers see invoices, quotes, and real-time timeline updates.
- “To-the-minute” time tracking with geolocation, providing ironclad proof for invoices.
- More personal time. “In the evening, I have more time with my daughter... I have more time to play my guitar.”
Why Habitation Peak Loves Billdr
Alexandre points to four key areas where Billdr delivered massive value, transforming his operations and his client relationships.
1. The “Game-Changing” Client Dashboard
“This, honestly, was a game-changer. I give an experience to my client. I allow my client to follow all the invoices, quotes, and change orders on a platform that is adapted for them. He doesn’t need to call me for micro-details; all the micro-details are already accessible on his dashboard. I’ve had a lot of good feedback from my clients who were satisfied because of the experience I gave them.”
2. “To-the-Minute” Time Tracking
“The ‘Punch In/Out’ with geolocation... it’s really, really easy to manage, ‘to the minute,’ the time that my employee spends on the job site. I can easily prove to my client, by sending reports, the time that was spent on their job site. I can easily prove what I’m charging on their invoice.”
3. An Intuitive Platform (That’s Not “Windows 95”)
“The difference is day and night. I felt like I was on Windows 95 with the old software. In a few words, I’d describe Billdr as an intuitive application... Honestly, it’s really easy. You learn fast and find your bearings quickly.”
4. “Remarkable” Customer Support
“The service I get is remarkable... As soon as I have a question, it’s fast... I get an answer, often ‘within hours.’ I don’t have time to ask myself the question 50 times. I get service. This has a price, and I appreciate it. It’s something unique to you guys.”
“This is priceless.”
“Billdr saved me so much time. That’s no secret. In the evening, I have more time with my daughter. I’m a fan of the electric guitar; I have more time to play my guitar.”
