FOUNDING OFFER — Limited Spots

Get three months free — and help shape the product

We’re looking for tradespeople across different trades to use Iskal free for three months. It’s a new platform and there will be rough edges, we’re upfront about that. In return for your patience and honest feedback, you get full access at no cost while we iron things out. Once the spots are gone, this offer closes.

Getting started

It gives your installer or dealer network a shared quoting platform — so every job is handled consistently, your products are presented at the point of quoting, and you have visibility across the workflow from first enquiry through to invoice. Less time on admin for your installers means more jobs quoted, more jobs won, and more of your products specified.

Manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors who operate through a network of installers, dealers, or trade partners. If your products reach the end customer through other businesses rather than directly, Iskal for Networks is built for that relationship.

No. Iskal can sit alongside your existing systems as the quoting and job management layer, or it can run as a more complete workflow from enquiry through to invoicing. It is designed to be introduced progressively rather than requiring a full system change on day one.

We work with you directly to configure the platform around your products, your workflow, and the structure of your network. Your installers or dealers are then brought onto the system with the right access and dashboard for their role.

Supporting your installer network

Iskal cuts the time between receiving an enquiry and sending a professional quote. A job request comes in, the system collects the right information through a guided intake chat, and prepares a draft quote far faster than starting from scratch. Faster responses and more consistent quotes mean more jobs won. That benefits your installers and increases the volume of work your products are being installed on.

Yes. Enquiries can come through a website button, a direct link sent to a customer, or by pasting an existing enquiry into the dashboard — including jobs found on trade marketplaces. Everything lands in the same jobs board regardless of where it came from.

Yes. Iskal prepares the first draft but every installer reviews, adjusts, and approves their quotes before anything reaches a customer. The system handles the setup work — installers retain full control of the final numbers.

Yes. Jobs can be managed centrally and allocated to specific installers, branches, or partner companies — or left for installers to manage themselves, depending on how your network operates.

Product and pricing control

Yes. Your products are loaded into the platform and presented in the quoting workflow when installers are pricing jobs. You manage what is available, at what price, and how it appears — so your network is always working from your current range rather than outdated price lists or personal preference.

Yes. Product pricing and availability are managed from your supplier dashboard. Changes you make are reflected across the network immediately — no need to chase installers to update their own spreadsheets or price lists.

Yes. The supplier dashboard gives you tools to highlight products, push promotions, and make it easier for installers to find and select what you want them quoting. That visibility matters when installers are choosing products.

Data and visibility

You can see how your products are being specified across the network, where quotes are being won or lost, what customers are asking, how pricing is moving, and where jobs are dropping off before conversion. This kind of network-level data is typically difficult to gather without asking installers to report it manually — Iskal surfaces it automatically.

Yes. Job activity, quoting volume, and workflow progress can be viewed at the individual installer or branch level, as well as across the network as a whole — depending on how access is configured.

Yes. Access to job data, customer information, and pricing is controlled by role across the platform. Installers see what is relevant to them. Your network-level view does not expose one installer’s pricing or margins to another.

Working with Iskal

No. The AI handles the first pass on job requests and routine customer questions, but your team and your installers remain in control of review, pricing decisions, and customer relationships. The goal is to reduce the time spent on repetitive setup work, not to remove the people behind the process.

Yes, and many suppliers find this straightforward. Iskal gives installers a genuine operational benefit — faster quoting, less admin, more consistent results — so the case for adoption is practical rather than something that needs to be sold to them. A stronger, better-equipped installer network is good for your business and theirs.

Get in touch and we will walk you through how Iskal for Networks would work for your specific product range and installer structure. Every setup is configured to reflect the way your network actually operates.
