About The Backyard
The Backyard & Beyond is based in Versailles, Missouri. Founded by Curvin Huber in 2015 after seeing a need for quality portable buildings in southern Missouri, and it has grown steadily since — adding tiny homes, opening a second location, merging with Bennet Springs, and earning modular builder certification. But the growth was running on spreadsheets, and the manual process was costing them time and details.
The Challenge
Before Shed Suite, The Backyard & Beyond ran the entire operation on spreadsheets. “Before we had Shed Suite, we were using spreadsheets to do the whole process,” says CEO Curvin Huber. Every handoff between sales, the shop, and delivery depended on someone remembering to make a call or send a message.
The cost showed up at the end of the process. “Our biggest headache before using the Shed Suite program was the amount of time lost and the amount of missed details that would then transfer to fix-ups on site that would really cut into our profitability at the end of the day,” recalls Jonny Huber, Shop Manager and Head of Sales.
The Solution
The Backyard & Beyond turned to Shed Suite — software built specifically for the shed industry — and took on more than the core platform. Shed Suite built their website, set up their CRM, and took on their initial marketing, connecting lead generation directly to the sales, production, and delivery workflow already running in the platform.
“Shed Suite has helped us pretty much from concept to completion,” says Curvin. “Built the website for us. They’ve set up the CRM for us. The initial marketing is being taken care of through that, and then it flows seamlessly into the sales, production, and then delivery.”
“Shed Suite has helped us pretty much from concept to completion.”
The Results
With the process running in one system, The Backyard & Beyond spends less time chasing status and more time building. “As a shop manager and sales manager, Shed Suite has helped us streamline our process from the time the order is taken until the completed product is done, make sure we’re meeting customers’ expectations at the end of the day,” says Jonny.
Curvin puts it more simply: “It’s been a real blessing.”
Everyone’s Informed
Backyard’s Biggest Wins With Shed Suite
Since implementing Shed Suite, The Backyard & Beyond has seen improvements across lead generation, production, and delivery.
Automations & Handoff
Order handoffs happen without a phone call. “We now have automation. As soon as the order is processed, the shop gets notified, the driver gets notified. Everyone knows what’s happening, and it keeps us up to date,” says Curvin. Less time on the phone chasing status, fewer details missed.
Concept to Completion
Beyond the core platform, Shed Suite built The Backyard & Beyond’s website, set up their CRM, and took on their rebrand and initial marketing — offerings available to any Shed Suite client. Leads generated up front flow straight into Shed Suite’s sales, production, and delivery platform.
E-Commerce
“Customers can see all of the products we have available on the lots without us having to email them pictures, give them all the information,” says Curvin. “We don’t have to do all of these things manually like we used to, and it has saved us a lot of time.”
