Your quotation sits on a customer's table next to two others

Estimates, price lists and catalogues with your logo, your colour and print-ready pages — generated as your team works, not designed by anyone.

What your customer takes home

He leaves your showroom with one thing.

For the next three days, while he decides, that document is your entire business as far as he is concerned.

And it is not alone. Two other quotations are lying beside it, from two other shops, and he is comparing all three on the only evidence he has — because he cannot remember which showroom had the better lighting.

You cannot do anything about what your competitor sends him.

What you cannot control
  • What your competitor sends him — two other quotations, lying beside yours
What you can
  • Whether yours looks serious — for three days it IS your business, as far as he is concerned
  • Your logo and your accent colour — running through the whole design
  • A style you chose — having looked at all of them, rather than one picked during setup

You can decide whether yours looks like it came from a business that takes itself seriously.

Your name on it, not ours

Every document carries your logo and your brand colour. One accent colour runs through the whole design, so what arrives on your customer's phone looks like it came from your business rather than out of a piece of software.

You choose the style yourself, and you can look at all of them before you decide — not have one picked for you during setup and discover it later.

Made to be printed

These documents get printed. A price list handed across a counter. A quotation filed in a customer's folder. A catalogue left with an architect.

So they are built for paper, not just for screens. A4, with proper pagination — no product row or card split across a page break, column headers repeated on every page, the footer in the same place on all of them.

That sounds like a small thing until you have printed a six-page price list and found a product cut in half at the bottom of page three.

  • A4 with proper pagination — no product row or card split across a page break
  • Column headers repeat — on every page, so page four still makes sense
  • Built for paper — not just for screens — these documents get printed

It is the commonest failure in documents that software generates, and it is the one your customer actually sees.

Nobody designs anything

There is no template to set up, no designer to brief, no file to maintain.

Your team builds an estimate or a price list the way they always do, and the document comes out looking like this.

And if you would rather build one by hand, we give away free formats for that too — a quotation format, a price list format, a catalogue template, in Word and Excel.
