Why Coglass suits glaziers in Botswana
Our team is in the UK, one to two hours behind Botswana, so our working days largely overlap. Email or call during business hours and we usually reply within one working day.
Priced in pula
Your subscription is priced in pula. Quotes and invoices go out in your currency, with your VAT number on them.
Surveys far from signal
Measure, draw and photograph every opening on the phone, however remote the site. It syncs when you are back in coverage.
WhatsApp-first messaging
Customers in Botswana would rather WhatsApp than text. WhatsApp messaging is built into Coglass and waiting on Meta's approval; until it switches on, email, SMS and the chat on your quote and tracking pages work today.
Drawn and priced properly
Shapes, holes, cut-outs and IGU make-ups drawn to size in mm, priced from your own catalogue and trade price lists.
Production and suppliers
Purchase orders with the drawing on them, a production board from To plan to Made, and barcode labels for every pane.
Close to our working day
Botswana is one to two hours ahead of our UK team, so support and demos fit your business hours.
Draw it once. Quote it, order it, make it.
Each pane is drawn to size in mm with its shape, holes, cut-outs, Georgian bars or leaded lights. The same drawing prices the line, goes on the quote, the supplier's purchase order and the workshop's cutting sheet.
- Full double- and triple-glazed unit make-ups, cavity set per line
- Edgework, toughening, laminating — in-house or bought in
- Trade price lists and quantity breaks applied automatically
The whole shop floor on one board
Every line lands on the production board when the job is ordered — waiting on a supplier, glass in, in production, ready, made. At the bench, the shop-floor iPad shows the cut list and moves panes on with a barcode scan.
- Barcode labels for every pane
- Sealed-unit steps checked pane by pane
- Keeps working when the workshop wifi drops
Run the whole business from an iPad
The office CRM in Safari, the production board at the bench, a trade counter with live pricing, and surveys and fittings on site — all on the same jobs.
- Quotes, the planner and invoices in the browser
- Cut list, scan to advance and sealed-unit steps in the workshop
- Counter sales signed for on screen
