A home services painting company in a major Canadian city, nearly four decades old with tens of thousands of homeowners served, ran on its owner's judgment.
He priced every job personally after an on-site visit and dozens of photos, with an AI chat helping on about a quarter of quotes. Staff rebuilt work orders by hand at 5 to 15 minutes each, and the crew schedule was a spreadsheet updated overnight, so a missed rain call could leave a painter idle. Ten years of quotes, invoices, customer records and job photos sat across five systems that didn't connect, and an earlier software build had used most of a large budget without delivering.
North Group merged five disconnected systems into one live dataset for a home services painting company, added an owner dashboard, and is building a quoting engine that prices new jobs from comparable past work.
