Evo House is a specialist construction company that makes roof trusses and timber-frame buildings and sells timber. It covers the whole job, from design and component manufacturing to the finished build. With a focus on quality and precise workmanship, Evo House delivers modern timber structures that are kind to the environment and cost-effective.

The challenge

Evo House is a fast-growing company with dozens of orders a month, its own production and a timber trading business. At that pace it needed a system that could keep up with the full breadth of its operations – from the first customer contact to dispatching the material.

A safe switch to a new system, with no downtime

The key requirement was to move to the new system quickly without interrupting the business. Implementation had to happen step by step, so that people could work without restrictions from day one.

A real-time view of the whole company

Management needed an up-to-date view of finances, production and staff performance – in one place and instantly available for day-to-day decisions.

Digitising and speeding up repetitive work

The company handled dozens of routine tasks every day. The goal was to standardise and automate them, freeing up people’s time for more valuable work.

Professional quoting right in the system

The sales team needed a tool to put quotes together quickly, with variants, automatic data filling and PDF generation – without jumping between apps.

Structured records the whole team can use

Information about customers, orders and production had to move into a structured database – available to the whole team, regardless of who happens to be at work.

Our solution

We built a complete system that covers the whole business – from sales and production to stock and HR.

Solution areas

Fast, safe migration

We rolled the system out step by step as an MVP – key processes first, then extensions. The business wasn’t interrupted for a single day.

  • Design of a minimum viable product (MVP)
  • Key processes prioritised
  • Gradual roll-out with no downtime
  • Training for the whole team

Real-time overview for management

Management dashboards show everything important in one place – current finances, production status and staff performance.

  • Financial data centralised in one system
  • Clear dashboards for management
  • Instant access to up-to-date data
  • Better input for planning and management

Quotes

Quotes are created right in the system, attached to the order. You can prepare several variants, fill in data automatically and generate a PDF in one click.

  • Quotes linked directly to the order
  • Multiple quote variants
  • Data filled in automatically
  • One-click PDF generation

Customer and order records

One database of customers, orders and all communication – available to the whole team. No information stays with just one person.

  • One customer database
  • Clear order records
  • Communication stored with every order
  • Team members can cover for each other

Order and production management

Every order has its status, production plan and time records. Capacity and deadlines are always visible at a glance.

  • Status and progress of every order
  • Production and capacity planning
  • Time spent on orders recorded
  • Delivery deadline alerts

Stock management

Materials and components tracked in real time. The system watches minimum stock levels and links the warehouse to production planning.

  • Real-time stock levels
  • Automatic low-stock alerts
  • Material reserved for orders
  • Stocktakes and stock value overview

Process automation

We standardised and automated the routine steps that repeated every day. Less retyping, fewer mistakes, more time for real work.

  • Routine steps automated
  • Unified ways of working
  • Less manual retyping of data
  • Fewer errors and time saved

Employees and timesheets

Digital timesheets replaced paper forms. Management can see who worked on which order and for how many hours – and the data goes straight to payroll.

  • Digital timesheets
  • Work assigned to specific orders
  • Overview of hours worked
  • Data for payroll
David Papuga Founder

As timber specialists with more than a hundred timber-frame buildings completed and 5,000 cubic metres of timber dispatched every year, we need to keep our production, design and assembly under complete control. The Froggate system helped us clear up our internal chaos and bring the whole company together in one application. We finally have accurate data, we measure what we couldn’t measure before and we know which direction the company is heading. What we value most about Froggate is their great communication, flexibility and speed, and that they always keep their word and their deadlines. We’ve gained a connected, organised company and a reliable partner in one.
