Quote to cash

Between the site measure and the money there are usually five documents, and a person re-typing the same numbers into each. This page is one pipe: measure, quote, approve, do, claim, paid, each stage feeding the next.

What it covers

One pipe, no re-typing
Q-01Price bookYour rates, materials, margins and assemblies in one maintained place, so every quote starts from the same truth.
Q-02Quote builderMeasures in, a clean on-brand quote out: web page and PDF, itemised the way your customers expect.
Q-03AcceptanceAccepted online with a tap and a timestamp. The job creates itself, scheduled straight onto the board.
Q-04Deposits & claimsDeposits requested at acceptance; staged progress claims for longer jobs, each with its paper trail.
Q-05Invoice triggersCompletion in the field raises the invoice draft the same hour. Finished work never sits unbilled.
Q-06Follow-up rulesQuotes going stale and invoices going overdue get chased on a schedule you set, politely and automatically.
Build

How it's built

Your best quote, templated

We start from the best quote you have ever sent and turn it into the template every quote follows: your layout, your language, your terms. Variations are tracked properly, as amendments to the original with their own approvals, so the final invoice reconciles against what was agreed, line by line.

The pipe plugs into the rest of the set: acceptance schedules the job (job and fleet tracking), completion raises the invoice, the ledger reconciles the payment (accounting pipelines), and the customer watches it all happen in the portal (client portals).

Note

What it replaces

The five documents

The quote built in a spreadsheet from a guess, the invoice re-typed from the quote, the follow-up that never happens because everyone is busy, and the finished jobs that quietly go unbilled. For many businesses, the unbilled work alone justifies the build.

Q

Asked every time

Common questions
Our quotes are a bit rough. Can you fix that too?

Yes, and it matters: the quote is often the first document a customer judges you on. Clean layout, plain language, itemised properly. Design is part of the build, not an extra. The designs page shows the standard we work to.

What about variations mid-job?

Raised from the field or the office, priced from the same price book, approved by the customer in the portal, and appended to the job's money trail. The final invoice shows the original plus each approved variation, so there is no dispute at the end.

Do the follow-ups make us look like debt collectors?

You write the tone once, or we draft it and you approve it. A polite nudge at the right moment, from your address, reads as a business that runs well. The rule only fires when the state says it should, and a human can always hold it.
