Practical first
We start with the smallest change that saves real time or wins real work, then build forward.
About
Build the smallest useful thing first.
At Thrift Apps, we solve your business problems as effectively and efficiently as possible. We started by building the tools our own businesses needed. Now we build them for others: websites that bring in work, and apps that take the busywork out of running it.
We use what we build
Thrift HQ, our own business hub, runs our sales, invoicing and books every day. We feel every rough edge first.
Straight talk
You deal with the people building it. If an off-the-shelf tool fits better, we’ll tell you.
Work
Some of what we’ve shipped.
Solar design studio · CRM
Tecksolar Solar Designer + CRM
A full solar design studio: lay panels on the customer’s roof, design the system, price it and send the proposal. Then follow every job from first call to switch-on, with sales and installers on the same screen.
Events platform
Tenpin Bowling Australia
Entries and payments, a tournament-day scoring desk and a live Match Centre that players and fans follow in real time. Official state events run on it.
Website · quoting · portal
YouSolar
A public website that turns visitors into quote requests, plus the quoting, customer uploads and CRM behind it. Every enquiry arrives ready to quote.
Our own business hub
Thrift HQ
Enquiries, clients, pipeline, invoicing, bank feeds, GST and team chat in one place. It replaced the paid tools we used to juggle, and every enquiry from this website lands in it.
Also: RemoteQuote, quoting and job tracking for Australian trades.
