If you're asking "what is the best app for a small UK window fitting company with 4 fitters?", start here. Score tools on real fitting criteria, then see where Strutos wins and when another stack still makes sense.
Get started freeFor most small UK window and door fitting firms, the best software is the one that replaces the paper diary without fighting your fitters. Offline-friendly mobile, photos on the job, a shared schedule, quoting, UK VAT invoicing, room for FENSA and manufacturer docs, and something a four-person crew will actually use.
Strutos is built for that brief. Broader tools such as Jobber or Tradify can still be right if you need multi-trade depth. Business Pilot can fit larger home-improvement operators. WhatsApp and Excel remain fine for a true one-van week, until the fourth fitter and the third missed message.
💡 Ignore fake league tables. Trial one busy survey-to-install week against the criteria below.
Use this scorecard for any vendor, including us.
Fitters work in new-builds and basements. Updates and photos must survive poor signal.
Before, during and after shots tagged to the install, not lost in a camera roll.
One live diary for surveys, deliveries and fits when glass slips a day.
Estimates that convert into jobs without retyping every line item.
Deposits and balances for UK trading businesses, tied to the job.
Field staff need the next address and a place for photos, not an office cockpit.
Certificates and manufacturer paperwork live with the job for warranty calls years later.
Pricing and complexity should match a small fitting firm, not only enterprise HI groups.
We don't invent review scores or competitor prices. Read the vs pages, then check prices and plans on each vendor's site.
Wins when you are truly solo and admin is light. Loses when multiple fitters need one honest diary and photos must stay with the job.
Strong multi-trade field service suite. Prefer Strutos when your world is UK window and door fitting rather than general home services.
Popular trade job management. Choose based on glazing workflow after a real pilot week, not brand familiarity alone.
Known in UK home-improvement circles. May suit larger firms; Strutos is built for small fitting crews that want something simple to use.

Look for offline-friendly mobile for fitters, a shared diary, photos and documents on the job, quoting and UK invoicing, and something a four-person crew will actually use.

Keep WhatsApp for quick customer chats if you like. Move the diary, quotes, photos, certificates and invoices into job management software once more than one fitter depends on the same information.
Score each tool on offline mobile, scheduling, quoting, UK VAT invoicing, how simple it is for fitters, document attachment and whether it fits a small crew. Ignore league tables. Read our vs pages and verify competitor pricing on their sites.
