Job Quoting & Payments Engine – Create Professional Quotes & Get Paid Faster

For any service business, the process of creating quotes and collecting payments can become a major administrative bottleneck. Manually created estimates or invoices can look unprofessional, get lost in a client’s inbox, or be difficult to track. Chasing after a signed paper contract slows down the start of a project, and waiting for checks to be mailed can severely impact your cash flow, especially on large jobs.

The Job Quoting & Payments Engine is designed to professionalize and automate this entire sales process. We integrate a robust system that allows you to quickly build detailed, branded quotes and email them directly to clients. The client can then review, approve, and even digitally accept the estimate online from any device, giving you the green light to start work immediately.

Once the work is done, that approved quote can be converted into an invoice with a single click. By enabling online payments, you make it incredibly convenient for your customers to pay large invoices instantly with a credit card. This Engine is built to shorten your sales cycle, improve your cash flow, and present your business as a modern, efficient, and professional operation.

Problems Solved …

  • Unprofessional Invoices

    Problem: “My quotes are created in Word or a spreadsheet, and they look unprofessional compared to my competitors.” Solution: We build a system for you to generate clean, professional, branded quotes that build client confidence from the very first interaction.

  • Slow Client Approvals

    Problem: “I waste days waiting for a client to print, sign, scan, and email back a quote before I can schedule a project.” Solution: We enable digital quote delivery and online approvals, allowing clients to accept your estimate instantly with a click from their phone or computer.

  • Slow Cash Flow

    Problem: “My business’s cash flow is slow and unpredictable because I have to wait for clients to mail checks for large jobs.” Solution: We integrate online payment gateways so you can get paid faster, allowing clients to pay large invoices instantly and securely with a credit card.

  • Lagging Deposits

    Problem: “I can’t start large projects until I have a deposit in hand, but collecting that deposit is a slow and awkward process.” Solution: We configure your system to easily require and collect deposits online at the time of quote approval, securing the job and improving your cash flow immediately.

  • Poor Record Keeping

    Problem: “Clients frequently lose their invoices or have questions about past payments, which leads to more administrative work for me.” Solution: We provide a simple client portal where your customers can view their entire history of quotes and invoices and see what’s been paid.
