Quoting software for tradesmen

The quote that goes out tonight wins the job.

Price it from your own rates, send it with your name on it, and know the moment they open it. Built for UK trades, not for an office.

Most jobs are lost in the gap between the visit and the quote. The customer has three people round; the first decent quote in their inbox is the one they read properly. A quote typed up on Sunday night, after the other two have landed, is a quote read for the price alone.

Adminmate keeps your prices in a rate card you set up once: day rate, hourly, call-out, the parts you use most. A quote is picking the lines, not retyping them, so it goes out from the van while the job is fresh and the customer still remembers your face.

How it works

How quoting software works for a tradesman, in order

Your rate card, not a blank page

Set your prices once. Every quote is built from them, line by line, with nothing guessed. Change a price in Settings and the next quote uses it.

Looks like yours

Your business name at the top, the lines the customer asked for, VAT handled the way you told it to, your terms at the foot. A PDF and a link they can open on their phone.

Sent in one tap, by text or email

You see the quote, you tap send. It goes to the customer in your business's name with a link to accept on the page.

Opened, then accepted, and you know both

You're told the first time they open it, and again when they accept. Accepted means the job is on the board and the deposit is asked for.

Followed up without you remembering

A quote with no answer gets a polite nudge ready on days 3, 7 and 14. Three at most. Each waits for your tap.

What the customer gets
Hi Mrs Hughes, here's your quote from DW Plumbing for the new shower: £756.00. Open it here, and accept on the page if you're happy.

Who quoting software is for

A sole trader or a small firm that prices its own work: plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, plasterers, decorators, gardeners, heating engineers. If you price from a day rate, an hourly rate, a call-out and a list of the parts you fit every week, your prices are already a rate card; the software just stops you retyping them.

It's not for a firm with an estimator and a bill of quantities, or for anyone who needs supplier price books pulled in live. It is for the trade who quotes between jobs, from the van, and wants it to look like it came from an office.

What it replaces

The usual way of quoting is three tools and a memory. The app is one screen, and the memory is the job.

  • The notepad in the van, which becomes a quote on Sunday night, if the page is still readable.
  • The Word template with last month's customer's name still in it.
  • The text with a figure in it that nobody can find three weeks later, when the figure matters.
  • The spreadsheet of prices that is on the laptop at home, not on the phone on the job.
  • The reminder to chase, which lives in your head beside everything else.
Questions

Quoting software questions tradesmen ask

Can I quote on my phone, on site?

Yes. The app is built for a phone. Open the job, pick the lines, add the parts, send. A simple quote takes a couple of minutes, standing in the kitchen.

What if the job needs a visit before I can price it?

Then book the visit in the diary and quote after. Tell the app you need to see most jobs first and it won't rush you.

Can the customer accept on the quote itself?

Yes. The link opens the quote with your business name on it and an accept button. If you've set a deposit rule, they see the deposit there too.
