When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,044/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Rainy season October-May (mold, water damage). Dry summer wildfire risk. Portland is primary market. Bend/Central Oregon growing rapidly. Earthquake preparedness is growing market.
Storefront Glaziers in Bend should plan their cash flow around these patterns. Nexa's budget envelope system helps you set aside revenue during peak season to cover slow months — something Jobber can't do because it keeps charging you $42/month during slow months.
Whether you call it invoicing, a program for jobs, or a invoicing system — most storefront glaziers in Bend string together Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks, Square and other monthly services. That's $1,044/year in tool subscriptions. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, you're looking at $5,220.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, invoicing, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single program. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No duct-tape integrations. No per-connection charges. It's a lifetime license — keep more revenue from the first day. For storefront glaziers in Bend weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
The day rarely starts where the schedule says. A 6 a.m. text, a car or a break-in put a 96-by-48 storefront lite on the sidewalk overnight, and the first move is a board-up: cut plywood to the opening, screw it into the aluminum frame, sweep the tempered pebbles, and get the business open by the time staff arrive. Only then does the real work begin: field-measuring the opening with a laser and a template, because the frame is never perfectly square and tempered glass can't be trimmed once it's made. Back at the truck, the glazier phones the fabricator to order the lite, annealed, tempered, or laminated depending on whether it's a vision panel, a door, or a code-required safety location, and confirms lead time and the deposit. The rest of the morning is scheduled installs: setting glass into storefront extrusions with suction cups and a second pair of hands, snugging in setting blocks and gaskets, running structural silicone on a curtain-wall joint, and cleaning up. Between stops there's the constant phone tag, the boarded shop wanting a date, a property manager wanting a quote, a supplier confirming the glass is cut. Most work happens around the tenant's business hours, so doors come out early or late, and everything has to be weather-tight before the crew leaves.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a storefront glazier's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a storefront glazier — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
