The weather advantage

Beat the weather.

Every other CRM treats the forecast like it's your problem. MakeHay builds it into the schedule — because one rained-out day costs more than most software does in a year.

Set weather rules for your trade — cure temps, rain windows, wind, snow.
See the forecast on the calendar itself, checked at each job's exact address.
Get flagged before you load the truck — not after the crew's on site.
Move rained-out work to the clearer day MakeHay suggests.

A note from the team

We kept meeting crews running six-figure seasons out of a spreadsheet, a group text, and a whiteboard — and losing whole days to rain their software never warned them about. The tools built for "home services" didn't speak their language, and every one of them wanted a couple hundred a month before you'd sent your first quote.

So MakeHay works differently: everything that costs us nothing to run is free. Quoting, weather-aware scheduling, invoicing, automated follow-ups — free, no trial clock, no seat fees. Down the road we'll charge for the things that cost us real money per use, like text messaging and AI. Until then, the only way MakeHay grows is if it actually helps you win work and collect faster — so that's what we build.

We're not going to pretend we're something we're not. MakeHay is new: no fake testimonials, no stock photos of smiling crews we've never met. If you sign up now, you're one of the early crews deciding what gets built next — and a real person reads every email to support.

Questions, answered

Everything you're wondering about MakeHay.

Straight answers, no sales script. Don't see yours? Email support@makehay.io — a real person reads every message.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Really free. Quoting, satellite measuring, weather-aware scheduling, invoicing, and automated email follow-ups — all of it, no trial clock, no credit card, no seat fees. Down the road we'll offer paid add-ons for things that cost us real money per use, like text messaging and AI. Taking payments online carries processing costs like it does on any platform — recording checks and cash is always free. Full details are on the pricing page.

Is MakeHay available yet?

Yes — MakeHay is live. Create a free account and you can measure a site, send a quote, and take a payment the same day. No credit card required to start.

Do I need to install anything?

No. MakeHay runs entirely in your web browser — nothing to download, no app store, no IT setup. Open it on your laptop or phone and you're working.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. MakeHay is built mobile-first and runs in any modern browser — no separate app to install or keep updated. Quoting, scheduling, and invoicing all work in the field or at the desk.

What trades is it for?

Crews that work outside: line striping, sealcoating, asphalt paving, concrete, lawn care, landscaping, pressure washing, snow removal, exterior painting, tree service, fencing, and excavation — plus session businesses like dog training. The quoting units (stalls, square feet, linear feet) and the weather rules (cure temps, rain windows, wind, snow) adapt to how your trade bids and schedules work.

How is the weather feature different?

Generic apps warn you it might rain. MakeHay pulls the forecast for each job site's exact address and flags the things that actually blow up your day — rain on the day of the job, temps too cold for sealer or paint to cure, and rain landing inside the cure window after you finish. When a day goes bad, it suggests the clearer day to move the job to.

Can my customers pay online?

Yes. MakeHay turns an approved quote into an invoice with a secure payment link — your customer pays by card or bank transfer (ACH), and you can still record the checks and cash you collect in person. Connect your Stripe account once in Settings and you're taking payments the same day.

Can I import my customers?

Yes. The built-in CSV import wizard brings in your customers, contacts, and job sites from a spreadsheet or another app's export — map the columns once and you're done. Stuck on a weird export? Email support@makehay.io and a real person will help you get your data in.

Make hay while the sun shines.
