Getting started
Account and security
Quotes, costs, and invoices
- Dashboard and usage limits
Overview stats and recent activity on your dashboard, plus how Free and Pro usage limits appear and what happens as you approach them.
- Overhead setup and defaults
Enter annual business costs, VAT, fuel, default markups, and working time, and see how they feed into every quote so your prices recover overheads.
- Clients, materials, and quote presets
Reuse saved clients, a materials library, labour rate presets, and tool hire on quotes and invoices so repeat jobs are faster and more consistent.
- Creating and editing quotes
Build quotes step by step: line types, overhead allocation, a target margin, PDF options, and how quote statuses move from draft to accepted.
- Invoices
Create invoices from a quote or from scratch, add discounts and deposits, track statuses from draft to paid, and send tidy branded PDF invoices.
- Expense and receipt tracking
Log materials, fuel, tools, and other job costs, attach receipt photos, link expenses to invoices and suppliers, and export everything to CSV.
- Client portals for quotes and invoices
Share secure client portal links so customers can view quotes, pay invoices, and respond, all without creating an account or logging in first.
- Stripe Connect, bank transfer & recording
Connect your Stripe account, offer card pay on the client portal, bank details, manual payments, and staged instalments.
- UK address lookup on quotes and invoices
Search by postcode or street to enter client and site addresses quickly, with manual entry as a fallback when a property is not listed.
- Payment schedule presets
Save deposit and milestone payment templates once, then reuse them on quotes and invoices so staged payments stay consistent across every job.
- Email clients and delivery tracking
Send quotes, invoices, and compliance certificates by email from Quotimiser and see when each message is delivered or opened, so you can follow up.
Compliance certificates
- Compliance certificates (gas, electrical, PAT)
Draft, issue, and email UK compliance records, link them to invoices, and share via the client portal with public verification for peace of mind.
- Compliance renewals by property
A portfolio view of current, expiring, and expired certificates per address, with expiry reminders so renewals never catch you or your clients out.
Settings and billing
- Settings and business profile
Set your profile and business details, bank payment options, logo, security, subscription, and data privacy, the settings behind every document.
- Refer a friend program
Share your referral link, track signups, and earn £5 Stripe subscription credit when a friend subscribes to a paid plan after their free trial.
- Plans and billing
Free vs Pro plans, trials and upgrading, and managing your payment details and invoices in Stripe, with billing questions answered in one place.
