When a shoebox is just too small.

The old job, the people, the costs and the lessons — your whole business is already in the box. Let's go under the lid.

UNDER THE LID

Don't judge the solution by the cardboard.

PAID ANNUALLY.
FOREVER.
NEVER INVOICED.
Your company's annual search bill:
$221,000
200-PERSON COMPANY · THE 50 WHO TOUCH DOCUMENTS × 1 HR/WK × $85/HR

A ten-person shop digging three hours a week loses 150 hours a year — nearly a month of workdays.

Every business pays for search. It just never sees the invoice.

WHAT YOU GET BACK

Ask it like you'd ask your best employee.

A STRAIGHT ANSWER

Ask what did we charge for a job like this — plain language in, plain language out.

WITH THE RECEIPT

Every answer ships with the originating document. Auditable, not a confident guess.

YOUR WHOLE WALL

Every job, quote and customer on one living board — sorted into your envelopes, not a pile.

THE BOX SPEAKS UP

On the retainer it reports what changed — supplier creep, quotes that never closed — every month, without being asked.

THE LESSONS ENVELOPE

Twenty years of lessons — readable at the same time, for the first time.

What the ground did. What the extra really cost. Which supplier quietly bumped 4%. Those lessons live in three heads, a truck cab and forty boxes of paper — readable one page at a time. Bootbox pins every lesson to the jobs, people and numbers that taught it. Ask where have we lost money on septic work and the answer draws on every job you've ever done — receipts attached.

Your best person's twenty years of how-it's-done doesn't resign with them.

HOW IT'S ORGANIZED

Your business, sorted into envelopes.

Cost & estimating. Projects. Bids. Clients. Lessons. Suppliers — and it comes back organized, not a pile. Hand it over as-is. We do the Sort; you don't touch a thing. Good in a week or two — not months. Topping up later? A photo from the truck is enough.

QuickBooksExcel & SheetsGoogle DriveSharePointNotionPaper & photos

Read-only. It reads where your records already live — no migration, no new app for the crew.

THE LIDS · SECURITY TIERS

Pick how tight the lid goes.

Every Bootbox, on every tier: stored in Canada, single-tenant, never used to train AI. The lid decides one thing — where the answer gets written. Finding your records works the same on all five.

Inside the shop it's the same idea: any envelope locks tighter than the rest. Your estimator never opens payroll.

1

Lid on

Stored and searched in Canada. Answers written by top-tier AI over a US API — never trained on, short retention, disclosed up front.

For most businesses — the everyday lid
2

Locked

Same as Lid on, plus a zero-retention API and search built on our own Canadian machines — nothing about your records is kept anywhere, ever.

For the privacy-sensitive
3

Sealed

No AI-written answers at all. You ask, Bootbox hands you the exact source documents. Nothing leaves Canada, full stop.

Search without the AI writing a word
4

In Country

Full plain-language answers, written on Canadian-only infrastructure. No US API call anywhere in the chain.

Hard Canadian-residency requirement
5

True In-house

Runs on a computer you own, in your building — air-gapped if you want it. We supply the software image and remote setup; you supply the box. Priced case-by-case.

No cloud, period
THE HONEST PART

On Lids 1 and 2, writing an answer sends the relevant passages to a US API for a moment — never kept, never trained on, but it leaves the country briefly. Lids 3 through 5 remove that entirely. We'll tell you exactly which lid you're on, and we never claim more than the lid delivers.

And it's your data, full stop. Leave anytime — you keep the organized files.

PILOT LIST

Bring one problem that's wasting time every week.

Tell us where the records live and what your team keeps having to find. We'll contact suitable Canadian pilot businesses directly. No spam.

WHY IT PAYS

Twelve ways it pays for itself.

Run your own numbers as you read. If even two of these hit your business, the box is free — everything after that is profit.

01Win back revenue you already earned

Surface lapsed clients and quotes that never closed. One reactivated customer typically covers the box for a year.

02Get paid for every extra

Pull the original agreement to back a change. One documented extra is often a $500–$2,000 line you'd have eaten.

03Price from actuals, not memory

See what the job really cost last time. Two points of margin on one decent job pays for months of Bootbox.

04Catch supplier price creep

A quiet 4% bump across a year of orders is real money — negotiate from the facts.

05Stop rebuilding what you built

Redoing a quote runs 30–60 minutes. Pulling last time's takes ten seconds.

06End the file-dig

Three hours a week of searching is 150 hours a year — nearly a month of workdays back.

07Get the owner off the bottleneck

Every question staff answer themselves is your time back — the owner's hour is the most expensive in the building.

08Answer customers on the spot

Answer while they're on the phone, not "let me dig and call you back." That trust wins the next job.

09Cut onboarding time

New hires ask the Ledger instead of pulling your veterans off their work. Weeks off the ramp.

10Stop the misses

Check how you handled it last time so a step or a line item doesn't slip. One miss can eat a job's margin.

11Audit, tax & claim-ready

The record and its source on demand for the accountant, insurer or auditor. An afternoon instead of a lost week.

12Keep the knowledge

Your best person's twenty years of how-it's-done doesn't resign with them. It's in the Ledger for whoever's next.

The honest payback: the math only has to work once. Most owners get it back the first time they don't have to dig for an old file.
