Moving fabrication work from paper and email into a shared system

The starting point

Customer emails, quotes, and records were distributed across paper files and one person's computer. Work often paused while someone found the right information or passed it along.

What I found

The central problem was not simply the absence of software. Work lacked a shared record, a visible owner, and a dependable handoff from incoming request through follow-up and administration.

What changed

I introduced and configured monday.com, defined the workflows, connected incoming email activity to tracked work, and automated parts of invoicing and record-keeping.
