How Solea Works
From Call to Dispatch, Solea Talks and Works Like Your Best Team Member.
Recognizes returning customers and project details instantly
Solea identifies callers by their phone number, retrieves past paint jobs, color choices, property details, and special requirements. Whether they're calling about touch-ups on a previous project, scheduling seasonal exterior work, or inquiring about a new estimate—Solea handles it all while you're busy on the ladder or meeting with clients.
Matches projects with your most qualified painters and crew
Intelligently schedules estimates and jobs based on project type, location, crew availability, and specialized skills—putting your faux finish expert on decorative jobs, your spray specialist on exteriors, and making sure prep crews arrive before painters when needed.
Syncs perfectly with your existing systems
Solea integrates directly with platforms like PaintFly, WorkWave, Jobber and other industry-specific CRMs. Project specifications, surface measurements, paint types, client preferences, and crew assignments are all captured automatically—eliminating double-entry and missed details.
Service businesses rely on Solea for conversations that feel human, build trust, and consistently turn callers into booked jobs.
Manages your entire job pipeline—from scheduling initial color consultations to booking final touch-ups—using real-time crew availability and your specific workflow for different project types.
Assigns the right painter based on specialization, whether it's fine finishing work, cabinet refinishing, or large commercial exteriors—ensuring your best epoxy floor specialist isn't wasted on basic wall painting.
Remembers client color preferences, prior surface issues, and access instructions so returning customers don't have to repeat themselves when calling about maintenance or additional rooms.
Provides detailed analytics on which lead sources convert best, which services have the highest margins, and how different estimators perform—helping you focus marketing dollars where they matter.
Grows with your business from solo painter to multi-crew operation without adding office staff costs—handling 5 calls a day or 50 with the same efficiency.

FAQ
How does Solea handle complex painting estimates that typically require on-site visits?
Solea qualifies leads by collecting key project information like surface types, room dimensions, condition of existing paint, and client timelines. It then schedules your estimator for an on-site visit in the optimal time slot based on location and availability. For recurring clients, it can even provide rough quotes based on previous similar work at their property.
Can Solea understand and schedule different types of painting projects with varying crew requirements?
Absolutely. Solea recognizes the differences between interior residential jobs, commercial projects, cabinet refinishing, and exterior work. It assigns appropriate time blocks, crew sizes, and specialized team members based on your predefined rules. It even factors in weather forecasts for exterior jobs and can adjust scheduling during rainy seasons.
How does Solea handle paint selection and color consultations?
Solea schedules color consultations as a separate appointment when clients need help selecting finishes. It records client preferences, tracks which color samples were provided, and notes any special finish requirements. For returning customers, it references previous color choices and can even suggest coordination with existing rooms they've had painted.
Will Solea work with my painting-specific CRM and estimating software?
Solea integrates with major painting industry software including PaintFly, WorkWave, PEP, and Jobber. For custom systems, we offer calendar integrations and structured data exports. The implementation team will map your exact workflow, terminology, and pricing structure to ensure seamless operation with your existing tools.
How does Solea handle scheduling around weather conditions for exterior painting?
Solea monitors weather forecasts for your service areas and proactively reschedules exterior jobs when conditions won't meet paint manufacturers' application requirements. It prioritizes interior work during rainy periods and can automatically contact customers with updated schedules. This weather-aware scheduling dramatically reduces wasted trips and improper application issues.
What's the ROI compared to hiring a dedicated office manager or using an answering service?
Most painting contractors see complete ROI within 2-3 months. Solea typically costs 70-80% less than a full-time office manager while operating 24/7 without vacation or sick days. Unlike generic answering services, Solea actually books jobs, follows your specific pricing rules, and understands painting terminology—capturing more business after hours when homeowners are most likely to call.
