Ridgeline Operations Platform — a leads and job pipeline for a contracting business

This project demonstrates how Granite Studios modernizes contractor operations by replacing disconnected spreadsheets with custom software tailored to the way field businesses actually work. Ridgeline Contracting Co. is a fictional business built to show the approach end to end.

Architecture

Deliberately simple, on purpose

No servers to manage, no auth system to build for a demo that doesn't need one — just a serverless frontend talking directly to a secured database.

Problem

Information lived in spreadsheets, texts, and memory

Ridgeline relied on spreadsheets, text messages, and memory to keep jobs moving. Quotes were won but never scheduled. Team members weren't sure which jobs had been invoiced. Owners spent their time chasing information instead of running projects.

Approach

One pipeline, two connected views

A single Next.js dashboard with a Supabase-backed database: a kanban-style leads pipeline (new → contacted → quoted → won/lost) and a jobs table (scheduled → in progress → completed → invoiced → paid), linked so a won lead carries its history into the job record.

Outcome

Every customer, one system, start to finish

Contractors can now track every customer from first phone call to final payment in a single system — no more asking around to find out what's been quoted, scheduled, or invoiced.

Under the hood

This isn't a prototype

You're using the same application showcased above. Add leads, move jobs through the pipeline, edit records, and explore the workflow. Demo data resets hourly so every visitor starts with a clean environment.

Built to Extend

This is a foundation, not the ceiling

What's live today covers the core leads-to-payment workflow. Real engagements grow from here — the same foundation extends with integrations and features scoped to how a specific business actually operates.

We build systems like this for real businesses.

If leads, jobs, or customers are living in spreadsheets and group chats, this is exactly the kind of thing we replace it with.
