01Your prices
Your prices, in your business’s name.
It uses the prices you give it. If a line has no price, it makes the quote anyway and asks you for that one thing.
The quote carries your business name, logo and colour, on a page and a PDF. Your business name is asked for the first time a quote goes out, and your logo and colour are in Settings whenever you want them. Prices can be plus VAT or including it, as you say them.
Tools Down: Made the quote. What’s the socket, price-wise?
02Accepted in one tap
They say yes on their phone.
Share it from your phone as a link or a PDF, by text, WhatsApp or email. The link opens a page with your quote on it, and two buttons: Accept this quote, or Not this time. A deposit paid on it counts as a yes.
When they accept, you get a notification. Tap it and Tools Down books them in. Every quote you send is valid for 30 days, or however long you set in Settings.

03Gone quiet
No answer for a week? The wrap tells you.
A quote with no answer after a week is in the evening wrap, and shows under Waiting, with a Follow up button, when you ask what’s on. Tap Follow up and Tools Down drafts a short message for you to send. Nothing goes to your customer by itself.
Tools Down: Here’s one you could send: “Hi Sarah, just checking the kitchen rewire quote came through. Happy to answer anything. Chris”
