How StoneApp Helps Businesses

StoneGrid USA says its StoneApp platform can replace the spreadsheets, whiteboards and hand‑offs that plague growing countertop shops by putting every step of fabrication in one cloud‑based system.
StoneApp blends customer relationship management, project scheduling, purchasing, inventory tracking and QuickBooks‑ready accounting. The software grew out of problems Mickey Gault faced while operating fabrication businesses in North Carolina.
“Once you install more than two kitchens a day, the crew is never in the building at the same time,” said Gault. “Details get lost and expensive mistakes follow.”
Unlike generic enterprise software, StoneApp treats each countertop, backsplash or vanity as a separate part that can be moved into its own phase, scheduled on its own date and billed as soon as it is finished. “Our industry is parts‑based, not project‑based, and the program had to reflect that,” said Gault.
Leads flow directly into estimate templates that pull in material and labor rates. Customers sign proposals digitally, and the quote becomes a job with no re‑entry of data. Purchase orders generate automatically or pull stock slabs from inventory. When a remnant is scanned in yard‑management software, it appears instantly in StoneApp’s inventory list, reducing time spent hunting through racks.
Because Stone App can see every order on the schedule, programmers receive alerts when two jobs use the same material in the same week, allowing offcuts from one kitchen to nest with another. Invoices and payments sync to QuickBooks, giving owners real‑time financial data.
“It’s not just another tool; for a shop doing three kitchens a day, the return on investment is about eleven to one in the first year,” said Gault. He added that most customers can be fully live within six weeks if they commit to three one‑hour training sessions a week.
Shops turning out fewer than two kitchens a day often manage with manual methods, according to Gault. Beyond that volume, he said, specialization sets in and information slips through the cracks. “StoneApp keeps the conversation going when sales, templating and install teams are never in the same room,” said Gault.
