Quotes and estimates can be easily created on both the web portal and mobile apps, depending on your preference.

On the Web Portal:

  • Click the "Create New" tab in the top right corner of the screen.

  • Select Certificate, Quote or Invoice from the pop-up:

  • From the next pop-up, select Estimate or Quote. *This is also where you can choose to create an invoice.

  • Next, you need to select the job you'd like to create the Quote or Estimate for. You can either search for an existing job or create a new one from this menu.

  • If you are searching for a job, simply click on the "Search for Job" bar and type in a job number, job address, or customer name.

  • If you are creating a new job, please click the "New Job" button. You'll then be asked to provide a customer's name and a job address. You can use these fields to search for customers or to create a new one.

  • If creating a new customer or job address, you'll be prompted to fill out the customer or job address details. Once finished, please click "Save" and move to the next step.

  • After selecting or creating a customer and job address, your screen will look like the image below. Please click "Create" to be taken to the quote or estimate screen.

  • From the screen below, please click on "Add Item" to create a new line item on the invoice. You'd need to do this for each line item you'd like to add.

  • After clicking "Add Item" please fill out the line item description, amounts of units, price and VAT (please note this is set to 20% by default if VAT is enabled) and click "Save"

  • You can also use line item templates to quickly use items you've created before. Click "Use Template", select the template, and click "Use Template" one more time.

  • If you would like to create a new one, click "Use Template" and then under "Select Template", click "Create new template". Fill out all the details, click "Save", and then "Use Template".

  • You can now decide to "Save" the record as a draft, issue it, or issue and email it. Please click "Approve & Email" to send the record to the customer or press "Approve & Preview" to issue the record without sending (you can send it later if you'd like).

On the App:

  • Tap "New Estimate, Quote or Invoice"

  • Tap Quote or Estimate. *This is also where you can choose to create an invoice.

  • Select the job you'd like to create the record for.

  • Tap the "+" icon.

  • Fill in the details manually, or use a template

  • Repeat the above to add more line items.

  • Tap "Save" to save the record as a draft and tap "Home" return to the main menu or;

  • Tap "Approve" to issue the record and move on to the next screen.

  • After tapping "Approve", confirm that you want to finalise the record.

  • After clicking "Approve", please select "Email" to send the record or "Preview" to issue the record without sending

  • Confirm that the email details are correct and tap "Send".

Note: If you press the home button at this point, after syncing your device, the record will show as "Issued" rather than as a draft.
