Run your whole woodshop from one app.
Leads, drawings, quotes clients sign online, deposits, scheduling and cut lists. Square Away does the desk work, so you can get back in the shop and home on time.
You're the builder, the estimator and the bookkeeper.
In most small shops, one person runs the whole business side. Square Away handles the office work, so one person can run the whole shop and still get home.
From a cabinet shop owner, 40 years in
The shop and the finish room were the part with a system. The estimating never felt done, and it came home with him every night and every weekend. Planning the week's installs and appointments was the other weight.
Same in my shop: my guy builds, and I run the business side myself. Allen, founder

I run a custom shop too.
Rustic Creations has built custom furniture in Michigan for 9 years. I built Square Away because nothing fit how a real woodshop works. Every feature gets tested on real jobs in my shop first.
