Quote Software for Tradespeople

Tradespeople do not quote from a desk. You are usually on site, on the way to the next job, or in the van when a customer asks "can you give me a price for that?". Quote software built for trades needs to work on a phone, reuse the materials and labour prices you already know, and turn a "yes" into paperwork you actually get paid from.

Why quoting is different for trades

A trade quote is rarely a single line. It is usually materials plus labour, sometimes with different rates for different parts of the job, and often with VAT to work out on top. When you quote from memory or a scrap of paper, the maths is the slow part and the mistakes are the expensive part — undercharging a line item you forgot to update eats the margin on the whole job.

Trades quoting also has to move fast. A customer who asks for a price on a Monday wants a number that week, not next month. The quicker you can send a clear, professional quote, the more likely you are to win the work.

What to include on a trade quote

A clear trade quote helps a customer say yes and protects you later. It should make the scope obvious, the price unambiguous, and the validity clear.

  • Your business name, logo and contact details
  • A unique quote number and the date
  • The customer and the job address
  • Materials and labour broken down clearly
  • VAT shown separately where applicable
  • How long the price is valid for (for example, 30 days)
  • Your terms and what happens when the customer accepts

How Quoteza helps tradespeople

Quoteza lets you save your common materials and services once — the cable, fittings, hourly rate, call-out fee — then drop them onto a quote in seconds from your phone. Totals, VAT and any discount are calculated for you, and your business details are added automatically.

When the customer accepts, one click turns the quote into an invoice. You record payments as they come in, and automated reminders chase anything that goes quiet so you are not spending your evenings chasing text messages.
