TradeQuote - Instant Job Quotes

About TradeQuote

TradeQuote is a desktop quoting and invoicing app built for the one-person trade business — plumbers, electricians, handymen, and painters who are tired of $40-70/month software built for crews they don't have.

🔧 QUOTE FROM THE JOB SITE

Stand in a customer's kitchen, pick a job template, adjust the quantities, and hand over (or email) a branded PDF quote in under 3 minutes. No laptop-to-office round trip, no "I'll email it tonight."

🎯 HOW IT WORKS

1. Add the client — name, address, phone, and job-site notes
2. Build the estimate from your price book or a saved job template ("Bathroom repipe," "Panel upgrade")
3. Adjust quantities — materials, labor, and extras total instantly
4. Export a branded PDF quote with your logo, license number, and terms

📋 EVERYTHING A QUOTE NEEDS

• Client book — full history, every estimate, invoice, and job in one place
• Price book — materials and labor items with your cost, markup %, and sell price, grouped by trade, importable from CSV
• Estimate builder — line items pulled from your price book, section subtotals (materials / labor / extras), per-estimate tax rate, and discount line
• Job templates — save any estimate as a reusable template for the jobs you quote every week
• Branded PDF output — your logo, license number, terms block, and signature line on every quote and invoice

💰 QUOTE TO PAID, ONE CLICK AT A TIME

Convert an accepted estimate straight into an invoice. Track invoice status — draft, sent, partially paid, paid — and log every payment with method and date. No more digging through texts to remember who paid what.

📊 KNOW YOUR NUMBERS

A money dashboard shows outstanding invoices, what you've been paid this month, and your quoted-vs-won rate at a glance. A built-in mileage log turns into a year-end tax summary (CSV export) your tax preparer will actually thank you for.

🔒 YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE

TradeQuote works fully offline — no internet connection required to quote, invoice, or generate PDFs. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription: no monthly fee, no account, no "your trial has ended" surprise after you've built your whole client list. Your client list, price book, and every quote you've ever sent live in a file on your own machine — never uploaded, never sold.

TRADEQUOTE IS PERFECT FOR:

→ Plumbers, electricians, handymen, and painters quoting from a van or a kitchen table

→ Solo operators who refuse to pay $40-70/month for software built for a crew of twenty

→ Anyone tired of retyping the same estimate from a Word template every week

→ Small trade businesses that want their invoicing and mileage records in one place at tax time
