Invoice and get paid
Deposit, progress and final invoices from the same job, with reminders when a payment is late.
Quoting and pricing
Quote faster. Price smarter. Get more jobs.
Creating estimates shouldn't take hours. Build accurate estimates from a price book, production hours and reusable containers.
Faster estimating
Reuse saved items and containers, which bundle several job parts into one line item, or copy a past job instead of starting from scratch.
Accurate pricing
Calculate labour, materials, markups, travel and other costs in one place.
Always up to date
Update your price book, or raise every price in one go, and keep your pricing consistent across future quotes.
Spend less time calculating and more time running your business.
Professional quotes
Make every quote look professional.
First impressions count. Turn your estimates into clear, professional quotes that show customers exactly what they're paying for.
Your business, your style
Add your logo and business details, and choose what your quote includes.
Clear and organised
Include a cover page, a description of the work, what the price does and doesn't cover, and your terms and conditions.
Easy to understand
Show labour, materials and project costs in a clear format.
Accepted online
Send quotes directly to customers, who read them on their phone and accept online with a signature. You hear about it the moment they do.
Detailed quotes, written for you
A full quote with a personal letter, a description for every item, and conditions to suit the job. You check and approve every word before it goes out.
Work items suggested for you
Describe the job in your own words and get the matching items from your price book, with quantities, ready to tick in.
Send professional quotes faster and give customers a clear picture of the work involved.
Jobs and scheduling
One job. One connected system.
Once your customer accepts the quote, turn it into an active job without entering everything again.
Quotes become jobs
Keep your accepted quote, costs and job details together.
Plan your work
Your schedule updates automatically from all your accepted jobs, so you can see what's booked and when.
Manage changes
Update the schedule when dates, work or requirements change.
Keep everyone informed
Email work orders with everything they need to your contractors and other project partners.
Track actual costs
Record working hours and contractor and supplier bills as the job progresses.
Handle extra work
Add extra work to a job as it comes up, and carry it through to the final invoice.
Everything stays connected, from the first estimate to the last day on site.
Costs and profits
Keep track of your costs and profits.
Knowing what you earn is important. Knowing what you actually make is even more important. Quote Concept helps you compare your estimated costs with what you really spend on each job.
Track working hours
Record the time spent on each job.
Compare estimates with actual costs
See where jobs take more time or cost more than expected.
Check job profitability
Find out which jobs make money and where you need to improve your pricing.
Business insights
See how the business is going, and how finished jobs landed against what you quoted.
Make better pricing decisions based on real numbers, not guesswork.
Invoicing
From quote to invoice without double entry.
When the work is finished, there's no need to create everything again. Raise a deposit, progress or final invoice from the accepted job in a few clicks, with any extra work or additional charges included before it goes to your customer.
Your original quote, approved work and final invoice stay connected. Less administration. Fewer mistakes. Faster invoicing.
