How a powder coating shop runs on Koira
Wheels, patio furniture and production parts come in with a photo and a question about price and color. Koira turns the photo into a quote from your price list, adds your setup, minimum and rush fees, and texts the customer when the part is ready, with the pay link.
How the day changes
Before Koira
- Quote requests come in as blurry photos in your personal texts
- Setup and rush charges forgotten on small jobs
- Customers calling to ask whether their part is done
With Koira
- Photos and files land on the quote request, and Koira drafts the estimate
- Setup fee, minimum charge and rush fee ride on every estimate from your price list
- Mark the job Ready and the customer gets the pickup text with the pay link
Why powder coaters put Koira to work
Your price list holds per part, per batch and per pound lines, so wheels, chairs and production runs are each priced the way you charge.
A setup fee, a minimum charge and a rush percentage go on estimates from your price list defaults, and carry through to the invoice.
Jobs move from waiting for drop off to received, in process, ready and picked up, and Today shows the shop queue.
When a job is marked Ready, the customer gets one text with the pay link, so most parts are paid before they leave.

FAQ
Can customers send photos for a powder coating quote?
Yes. The quote form on your Koira site takes photos and files, and photos texted to your Koira number draft an estimate for you to check before it goes.
Can I charge a setup fee and a minimum?
Yes. Set a setup fee, a minimum charge and a rush percentage as price list defaults. They go on each estimate, and on to the invoice and the customer's page.
Does Koira tell the customer when the part is ready?
Yes. When you mark a job Ready, Koira texts the customer once, with the pay link. It holds the text in your quiet hours and never texts someone who replied STOP.
