Less paperwork. More curtains.
At the first curtain shop to share its figures, the time spent on a quote fell from 45 to 8 minutes — enough for around seven extra quotes a week, without extra staff. This is its story.

Customer story
Curtain specialist in Antwerp
Family business · 2 employees · in business since 1998
I should have known about Gordana sooner. Now I put together a quote in under 10 minutes — including sending the PDF to the customer. And it's always right.
The situation
Twenty years of quotes in Excel. On average, 45 minutes per quote: entering the measurements, multiplying by the fullness ratio by hand, looking up the fabric price in a separate price list, laying out the result in Word. Mistakes crept in regularly — a forgotten pattern repeat, the wrong ratio. The result: too little fabric ordered, or a quote that lost money.
Ongoing jobs kept in a notebook. The fitter's schedule on Post-its. No customer history anywhere digital. "When a customer called about a quote from three months ago, I had to go and find the right folder."
