Sound Familiar?

Morning: emergency board-up from last night's break-in ($150 call + $80 for plywood). Then 2 window replacements quoted last week ($400 and $600 — glass was $150 and $280). Afternoon: measure for a custom shower enclosure (free estimate, install next week). You ordered tempered glass 5 days ago and it arrived with a chip — reorder adds another week. Your quoting is pen and paper at the job site.

What This Means for Glaziers

The average glazier pays Jobber ($69/mo), QuickBooks ($55/mo) — a total of $124/month or $1,488 per year. With SaaS prices rising 11.4% annually (five times general inflation), that stack will cost $4,993 over three years and $9,342 over five. Nexa replaces all of it for $279, paid once. You break even in 2.3 months. After that, every dollar your competitors spend on subscriptions is money you keep. At median glazier earnings, $1,488/year in software represents 69 hours of work — time spent earning money just to hand it to SaaS companies for tools you never own.

The average service business waits 23 days to get paid. Here's where the gap lives.

It's not the work — it's the steps between 'done' and 'paid.' On-site invoicing, automatic generation from the job record, and same-day reminders compress 23 days to next-day. Every day you shave off is cash that's in your account instead of someone else's.

FAQ

Is Nexa actually built for glaziers?

Yes. The invoicing module is designed for glaziers who need to professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus you get scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting — tools most glaziers end up needing anyway. $279 total for everything.

$279 seems expensive upfront. Is it worth it?

$279 spread over 3 years is $7.75/month. You're currently paying $124/month for Jobber + QuickBooks — that's $4,993 over 3 years. Nexa saves you $4,714 over that period. The math isn't close.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no questions. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I switch from Jobber?

Yes. Export your data as CSV, import into Nexa. Most glaziers are fully switched in 1-2 days. Run both in parallel until you're confident — zero risk.

How does Nexa compare to what other glaziers spend?

The median glazier earns $45,000/year. Software subscriptions at $1,488/year represent 3.3% of that income — every single year. Nexa at $279 once is 0.62% of annual income, paid one time. The difference compounds every year you operate.

Why One App Beats Three Subscriptions

Most glaziers cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.

For the way a glazier actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the Glass cutting tools and suction cups you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "custom glass orders have 1-2 week lead times between measure and install" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in 2.3 months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a glazier who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying $124/month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
