See it on your own pipeline
A 20-minute walkthrough using your real numbers, jobs quoted, jobs won, where they stall.
Court work isn't lost on price. It's lost on response time.
The contractor who answers first and keeps following up wins the job. The owner is too busy building courts to be that contractor.
more likely to qualify a lead
when you reach them inside 5 minutes instead of 30. MIT and InsideSales.com Lead Response Management Study, 15,000 leads.
more likely to reach them at all
at 5 minutes than at 30. Same study. After that the odds fall off a cliff.
buy from the first company that responds
Not the cheapest, not the best-known. The first. Lead Connect buyer study. The average business takes 42 hours; 23% never answer (Harvard Business Review, 2,241 companies).
One system, from first click to final invoice
Nothing gets missed
Every lead lands in one place. Miss a call, the system texts back before they dial a competitor.
Know before you drive
The estimator asks court type, size, surface, and upgrades. They get a range. You get a qualified lead.
Calendar, not phone tag
Qualified prospects book against your real calendar. Reminders cut no-shows.
The part everyone skips
Open quotes get chased every 48 hours until the job is won, lost, or they say stop.
Proposal to signature
Branded proposals, e-sign, invoices, text-to-pay. Paperwork stops slowing the build.
Source to revenue
Every lead tracked from first touch to signed contract. You know which channels pay.
Some features our customers really love
Pick one. Every screen is real, from a live account with the names swapped.
Every job on one screen
Contract value, what is paid, what is still owed, all read straight off the pipeline stage. A job sold two weeks with no deposit, or started six weeks with no final payment, gets flagged before it becomes a problem.
One page per job
Phase tracker, the next seven days of weather at the site, court specs pulled from the estimator survey, invoices, and progress photos. Nothing to file. It builds itself from what is already in the system.
Rain coming, the crew gets one email
Every active build watches its own forecast. Rain over 40 percent, a low under 40, or wind over 20 gets one alert per bad stretch, not one per hour. Turn it off per job when the pad is already cured.
An estimate that reads like a page, not a PDF
Every line, the subtotal, the extras, and a live total. One button to review and sign. The homeowner never hunts through an email attachment.
Extras the homeowner ticks, priced per job
Write a line that starts with Addon, put your price on it, done. It shows as a tickable extra, sits at zero until chosen, and never leaves your estimate. Extras they asked for on the estimator come pre-ticked. Cushion and mat price by the square foot.
Where is my court?
A link, no login. Where the build stands, the next visit, what is paid, the photos. No pipeline, no margins, no notes. The questions stop before they start.
Organised around how you actually work
Jobs, quotes, invoices, projects, and messages up front. Admin and settings tucked away. One look, light and simple, on every screen.
This list grows every month, and you set the order
Every feature above started as a request from a court builder using the system. Tell us what slows your day down and it goes on the build list. No feature vote, no roadmap page, no waiting a year.
Front office
One inbox for everything
Texts, email, Facebook and Instagram messages, Google messages, WhatsApp, and calls in one thread per customer.
Business phone line
Local number, call recording, voicemail to text, and a call log on the contact.
Missed-call text-back
A missed call gets a text within seconds, day or night. The lead stays warm.
Online booking
Site visits and calls booked from a link, with reminders that cut no-shows.
Sales pipeline
Every quote on a board, stage by stage, with follow-up that runs itself.
One record per customer
Every text, call, quote, invoice, and photo on the contact. Nothing to hunt for.
Money
Estimates with e-signature
Build it, send it, get it signed on a phone.
Invoices and text-to-pay
Card, bank, or Apple Pay from a text. Money lands before the truck leaves.
Deposits and payment schedules
Half up front, half on completion, or any split you use.
Recurring invoices
Maintenance plans and resurfacing contracts bill themselves.
QuickBooks sync
Invoices and payments flow into your books without re-keying.
Lead source to revenue
See which channel produced the jobs that actually paid.
Marketing
Social planner
Schedule posts to Facebook, Instagram, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok from one calendar.
Email campaigns and newsletters
Your list is already in the system. Send to it without another tool.
Reviews and reputation
Review requests after the final payment, replies from one screen.
Landing pages and funnels
Pages built for court work, wired straight into the pipeline.
Forms, surveys, and the estimator
The court estimator qualifies leads before you drive out.
Ads reporting
Google and Meta spend next to the jobs it produced.
Field
Mobile app
The crew sees the job, the customer, the photos, and the notes on site.
Photos and documents
Uploads from the truck land on the job and on the homeowner's page.
Workflows and automations
Anything you do twice can run on its own: reminders, follow-ups, hand-offs.
Tasks and reminders
Call-backs and site checks assigned to a person with a due date.
Custom fields
Court type, size, base, lines, and colors stored where the crew can see them.
Team permissions
Office sees money, crew sees jobs. Each login sees what it needs.
Add-ons, priced on the call
AI receptionist
Answers the phone when you cannot, qualifies the caller, books the site visit.
Conversation AI
Replies to texts and web chats in your voice, hands off when a human is needed.
AI scheduling
Finds the slot, books it, confirms it, reschedules it by text.
Marketing packages
Google Ads, Meta Ads, and email outreach run for you, from $3,000 a month.
Website design and hosting
A court-builder site that feeds the same pipeline.
Extra phone lines
More numbers for tracking, crews, or a second market.
Everything in the first four groups is in the $500 platform tier. Add-ons are quoted on the walkthrough call.

A court estimator, not a contact form
"Contact us" asks the prospect for something. The estimator gives them a real price range first.
Priced for you
Your prices, your service area, your minimums. Set per company.
Qualifies itself
Before you call back, you know surface, size, condition, and scope.
Range, not a quote
They see a range, labeled as one. The real number comes from your visit.
Feeds the pipeline
Every answer lands on the job record. Follow-up starts knowing the project.
What one court contractor's system looks like right now
Not a projection or a demo account. These are the current numbers inside a working Courtside OS installation at a court builder in Georgia, pulled the day this page was published.
Invoiced and collected
through the system to date, across 27 invoices.
In open proposals
being tracked and followed up, 40 live quotes.
Jobs in the pipeline
worth $1.35M, every one with a stage and a next step.
Customers on record
with every call, text, and quote attached.
These are the contractor's jobs, won by his crew. The system is where they get quoted, chased, invoiced, and paid.
What Google and the estimator have produced so far
Same account. Most closed work came from customers the owner already had. These jobs came through the channels Courtside OS added.
3 jobs quoted, $47,500
One closed at $17,000. Lead came in, got answered, got quoted, got chased, got signed. All inside the system.
2 jobs quoted, $78,000
Both still open. The estimator qualified the project, produced the range, and put a real quote in the pipeline without a site visit first.
5 jobs won, $99,650
Marked won in the pipeline. Invoiced and collected through the same account: $103,017, across 27 invoices.
Straight answer on proof: one live account, not a study. The numbers are small because they are real and recent. We would rather show three quotes and one signed job than a projection.
Priced so one saved job pays for the year
No per-user pricing, no seat math, no annual lock-in dressed up as a discount.
Plus a one-time $1,000 setup, waived when you upgrade to a marketing package.

The things contractors actually ask
Isn't this just a CRM with a new name?
A CRM gives you empty fields and a login. This gives you the pipeline built for court work, the estimator with your prices in it, the follow-up already written, and someone keeping it running. The license underneath is the cheapest part.
We already use spreadsheets and our phones. Why change?
A spreadsheet does not text a missed caller back at 7pm. A phone does not chase a $40K quote for three weeks. If you close everything you quote, you do not need this. Most owners can name three jobs last year that died from silence.
How long until it's running?
Setup covers the account, pipeline, estimator, phone number, email, domain, and training. Speed depends on how much of your pricing is already written down. We scope it on the call.
What exactly does the performance fee apply to?
$250 or 3% of the job, whichever is higher, on closed jobs over $7,000. What counts as closed goes in the agreement before you sign.
Do I have to use your marketing too?
No. The platform works with the leads you already have. Marketing packages are for owners who want the pipeline filled too.
Is the AI receptionist included?
No. The base includes missed-call text-back. AI scheduling and AI receptionist are add-ons, priced on the call.
Bring one number to the call
How many quotes did you send last year that you never heard back on? That number, times your average job, is what this conversation is about.
