I didn’t set out to
start a software company.

I own and operate NH Hardscapes. I’ve spent years estimating projects, ordering material, dealing with suppliers, checking inventory, getting contractor pricing, coordinating deliveries, and trying to keep jobs moving.

I started my first landscaping business by knocking on homeowners’ doors. Years later, the same mindset led me to QT.

I’ve stood at the dealer counter. I’ve made the calls myself — and I watched the people behind that counter answer them over and over for contractor after contractor.

• Do you have this in stock?
• What’s my price?
• Can you get this order together?
• Is my material ready?

Dealers have great relationships with their contractors, great products, experienced salespeople, and years of knowledge. But too much valuable time still goes to repetitive questions and manual order entry.

And contractors don’t work only from 7:00 to 4:00. We’re estimating at night, planning jobs on weekends, and figuring out tomorrow’s material after the dealership has already closed.

“A dealership shouldn’t stop doing business just because the doors close.”

QT gives dealers a way to put their products, approved contractor pricing, inventory, ordering, and order-status information directly into the hands of their contractors — while the dealer stays in control of all of it.

I’ve spent most of my life building things. When I see a problem, I have a hard time accepting that “this is just how it’s done.” I want to understand it, build a solution, test it, adjust it, and keep going until it works.

QT is the result of years spent inside this industry, and I’m building it alongside the dealers and contractors who use it.
