Software Built From Inside the Paint Industry
Created by an operator who had to fix these problems the hard way first.
The Origin
My Paint Buckets wasn’t created in a tech lab.
It was created after years of running real paint operations — managing subs, dealing with purchase orders from national builders, sorting through emails, spreadsheets, and supplier requests that had no structure.
Our founder, Christopher Ricker, built and scaled painting companies in new residential construction, and saw the same problem repeatedly:
admin was killing production.
HOW IT WORKS
The Problem Across the Industry
- Whether it’s a contractor, a new residential painter, a prime contractor, or a paint supplier:
POs
require manual breakdown
schedules
break when one trade slips
EPOs
get missed and never billed
stores
waste time chasing missing specs
crews
stand idle waiting for direction
Too much admin. Too much rework. Too much lost revenue.
The Software Result
- So the system was built to automate what the industry currently does by hand:
- PO → structured project
- Tasks aligned to production
- Store-ready order formatting
- EPO capture
- Scheduling clarity
Not theory.This is the exact workflow Christopher built to operate faster than competitors — now available as software.
