500 FIRMS NOW USING TOMMY

Big milestone for software pioneers Tommy Trinder as the firm hits 500 subscribers …
“ Let ’ s face it turning up to sell windows with a pad and pen no longer cuts it ,” says founder and CEO Chris Brunsdon . “ Homeowners expect more . They want to see exactly what they are getting ; they want to try before they buy . And Tommy Trinder is proving to be the tool for the job .” From one-man bands to nationals and from the highlands to the Channel Islands , Tommy Trinder has established itself as go to app for installers looking to add zip to their sales process . The firm ’ s patented Framepoint Technology
® allows users to free draw PVCu , aluminium and timber windows and doors with your finger or mouse , just like sketching on a pad . It ’ s easy to chop-andchange ironmongery , colour , and bar options until
the homeowner is happy and the price is right . And in a tap installers can show clients how their new windows and doors will look in situ .
“ We ’ re on a mission to put the fun back into selling
windows !” says Chris . “ Tommy makes it super simple to wow customers , even if you ’ re a dinosaur with computers . And in a demanding market it ’ s ever more important to have an edge , something to impress clients and keep those conversion rates up .”
The value of work quoted by installers on Tommy Trinder is on the rise too . An eye-watering £ 1.8bn ( yes , billion !) of quotes were prepared for homeowners via the platform in 2023 , up 60 % on 2022 . High average quote values are also a feature with quote values climbing
towards £ 7400 over the last six months , says Chris ;
“ We are seeing premium materials making significant market gains ; aluminium and timber combined now account for around half of everything quoted by installers . And when it comes to PVCu , Tommy subscribers are managing to get a bit more on every job by routinely showing off value-added features such as foils , dual colours , dummy vents , mechanical joints , flush casements , dummy peg-stays and surface mounted bars in a visual and compelling way .”
The firm reports that more than 10,000 homeowners receive a quote generated by Tommy Trinder every month and , notably , around half of them are provided with visualisations to accompany their quote ;
“ Homeowners are expecting a more complete buying experience and the makeover tool , where installers provide a mockup to the homeowner of their new windows in situ , is becoming a standard part of the quoting process ,” Says Chris .
