Built for the stair runner trade

Riser is the AI quoting and CRM workspace for stair runner professionals: from tape measure to signed quote, booked fit and paid invoice. We built it for the fitters, retailers, workrooms and interior designers who measure and quote staircases every day.

The free starter plan gives you saved projects, clients, branded quotes, share links and Riser AI — no card, no trial timer and no per-quote charge. Paid plans add seats, automations, larger workspaces and advanced reporting when your business is ready.

Why Riser exists

Quoting a stair runner job is deceptively detailed. A single staircase can involve nosing wrap, winders, landings, pattern repeats, rods, underlay, binding and access. Pull one number from the wrong place and the order is short, the margin is gone, or the client loses trust.

Riser puts the whole workflow in one place: measurements, photos, quote line items, client approvals, fitting dates, invoices and payment proof. Riser AI is grounded only in your own workspace data, so it drafts, chases and prices like someone who has worked in your business for years.

What we believe

• Trade-first. Every feature is built around the real workflow of a stair runner business, not a generic CRM adapted later.
• Your data stays yours. Riser AI uses only your workspace records, never the open web, and never trains models on your information.
• Free to start. The core pro tools are genuinely free so a one-person fitter or a small retailer can get organised without upfront cost.
• Transparent by default. Quotes, approvals, changes and payments are logged in an audit trail you can review and export.
• Corrections welcome. If something is wrong, tell us — we fix it and update the affected docs. Contact us.
