Small business owners struggle to track quotes and customer follow-ups across multiple communication channels and tools, leading to missed opportunities and inefficiency.

Existing solutions are fragmented — spreadsheets are not mobile-friendly, accounting software is too heavy for simple quote tracking, and notes/memory are unreliable. No single tool centralizes multi-channel quote requests, follow-ups, and payment status.
