QuoteChaser automates follow-ups on estimates that contractors and tradespeople have already sent, turning more quotes into paying jobs. The system tracks each estimate through the full lifecycle—from send, through automated reminders, to customer response—so nothing falls through the cracks. Buyers get a production-ready SaaS dashboard with Stripe billing already wired, email follow-ups, and a clear view of revenue recovered from won deals.

QuoteChaser — Business Plan

What we're building

QuoteChaser is a subscription SaaS for contractors and tradespeople that automatically follows up on estimates they've already sent, so more quotes turn into paying jobs. The core loop stays deliberately simple: New Lead → Estimate Sent → Automated Follow-Up → Customer Responded → Won or Lost.

Current focus — MVP (built, verified, LIVE)

The MVP is built, verified, and live on the always-on URL: https://site-xi-snowy-11.vercel.app (recorded as the production site; stable alias for redeploys). The full stack now runs in production: Vercel hosting, Neon Postgres (DATABASE_URL connected, schema + demo seed applied), live Stripe billing, and Resend email (pending one owner action, below). Verified end-to-end on the live URL: landing page (200), signup → email verification (token workaround, see blocker) → onboarding (all 5 steps) → dashboard, demo login showing Revenue Recovered $7,400 (Robert Miller story), data persisting in Neon, live Stripe checkout session created (no charge), unsigned webhooks → 400. Throwaway test data cleaned up; demo seed intact.
