Case Study: Polson Painting achieves 20–25% more clients and higher profits by cutting material waste with Knowify

How technology can drive growth in painting businesses

Polson Painting, a family-owned residential painting company in Tampa founded in 1995, needed an affordable way to streamline bidding and invoicing, customize client documents, and get better job-cost visibility after Erin joined operations. They adopted Knowify’s bidding, invoicing, and job-costing software to improve customer service, speed up quote delivery, and uncover hidden losses from materials and inefficiencies.

Using Knowify, Polson Painting standardized digital bids and invoices, tracked job costs and material usage, and used analytics to identify and prevent paint waste. The results included faster quotes and invoicing, stronger client engagement and a more professional presentation, a 20–25% increase in clients per year, and substantially higher profits driven largely by reduced material costs—outcomes achieved with Knowify’s tools and real-time visibility.
