# Welcome to Menaia

> Menaia is the home base for your home-services business. It's where a new customer inquiry turns into a measured estimate, a polished proposal, a scheduled job, and finally a paid invoice — all in one place, so nothing slips between the cracks.

Whether you take calls, build estimates, run crews, or keep an eye on the numbers, Menaia gives you a single, shared view of every customer and every job your team is working on.

## Who each part is for

Menaia brings several roles together. You'll mostly live in the areas that match your job — and the menu only shows you what you have access to.

* **Sales people and estimators** spend their day in Leads, Clients, the T\&M Calculator, and Estimates, turning interest into sold work.
* **Operations and crews** work out of Jobs, the Schedule, and Shifts, getting the work done and logging time.
* **Managers and admins** keep an eye on the whole picture — the Dashboard, Automations, My Performance, Invoices, and Settings.

<Tip>
  Not sure which role you are? Don't worry about labels. Just notice which sections appear in your sidebar — those are the parts of Menaia meant for you.

## How everything connects

At a glance, work flows in one direction — from a brand-new inquiry all the way to a paid invoice:

  L[Lead] --> E[Estimate]
  E --> P[Proposal]
  P --> J[Job]
  J --> I[Invoice]
```

Every customer, address, estimate, and job stays linked together, so anyone on your team can pick up where someone else left off.
