Over 650 firms now using Tommy Trinder

Tommy Trinder has reported that the total number of window companies using its sales platform has passed 650.

The firm’s Framepoint Technology allows users to free draw PVC-U, aluminium and timber windows and doors with a finger or mouse, just like sketching on a pad. It has been designed to be easy to ‘chop-and-change’ ironmongery, colour, and bar options until the homeowner is happy and the price is right.

Installers can then show clients how their new windows and doors will look in situ.

“Tommy makes it super simple to wow customers, even if you’re a dinosaur with computers,” said CEO Chris Brunsdon. “And in a demanding market it’s ever more important to have an edge, something to impress clients and keep those conversion rates up.”

Chris adds that the value of work quoted by installers on Tommy Trinder is on the rise. Every month an ‘eye-watering’ £270 million pounds worth of work is reportedly quoted to homeowners via the platform. High average quote values are also a feature with quote values climbing towards £7,400 over the last six months, according to Chris.

“We are seeing premium materials making significant market gains; aluminium and timber combined now account for around half of everything quoted by installers,” he said. “And when it comes to PVC-U, Tommy subscribers are managing to get a bit more on every job by routinely showing off value-added features such as foils, dual colours, dummy vents, mechanical joints, flush casements, dummy peg-stays and surface mounted bars in a visual and compelling way.”

The firm reports that more than 13,000 homeowners receive a quote generated by Tommy Trinder every month and, notably, around half of them are provided with visualisations to accompany their quote.

“Homeowners are expecting a more complete buying experience and the makeover tool, where installers provide a mock-up to the homeowner of their new windows in situ, is becoming a standard part of the quoting process,” said Chris.

“Homeowners expect more. They want to see exactly what they are getting; they want to try before they buy. And Tommy Trinder is proving to be the tool for the job.”
