Quote & get paid

Quote the same day. Track every invoice.

Build a professional estimate with your own line items, email it with your logo, and let the customer accept it with one click. Then turn it into an invoice and see exactly what's outstanding.

  • Accept by email, no customer login
  • SMS & email alerts
  • Works on your phone

How it works

From site visit to invoice in four steps.

Each step picks up where the last one left off. The lead's details carry into the estimate, and the accepted estimate becomes the invoice, so nothing gets typed twice.

  1. 1

    Build

    Add your line items

    Start from the lead, then add each item with quantity, price and notes.

  2. 2

    Send

    Email it, branded

    Your logo, your details, a clean estimate the customer can read on any device.

  3. 3

    Accept

    One-click accept

    You see when they've viewed it. They accept from the email, and you get an SMS or email right away.

  4. 4

    Invoice

    Convert & track

    Turn it into an invoice in one click, then see it as Outstanding or Paid.

Build

A clean, itemized estimate in minutes.

Stop copying last month's quote in Word or Excel and retyping the customer's details. Start from the lead, add your line items, and the math is done for you.

  • Line items with quantity, price and notes
  • Customer and project details pulled from the lead
  • Subtotal, GST and total calculated for you

Send & accept

Customers accept from their inbox. You hear about it instantly.

The estimate arrives as a clean, branded email. Your customer reviews it and accepts with one click, with no account or app to download. The moment they do, you get an SMS or email, and the estimate is marked Accepted.

  • Branded estimate email with your logo
  • One-click accept from any phone or computer
  • See when it's been viewed and when it's accepted
  • SMS or email alert when an estimate is accepted

Invoice & track

Know what's outstanding without opening a spreadsheet.

When the work's done, convert the accepted estimate into an invoice in one click. Every invoice shows as Outstanding or Paid, so you can see who still owes you at a glance.

  • Accepted estimate to invoice in one click
  • Clear Outstanding and Paid status on every invoice
  • Totals for outstanding and paid, always up to date

From the driveway

Send the estimate before you leave the site visit.

The whole flow works on your phone. Walk the job, build the estimate right there, and send it while you're still in the customer's driveway. The first estimate in their inbox often wins the job.

Built for mobile

Create, send and check estimates and invoices from your phone.

Instant alerts

SMS or email the moment a customer accepts.
