Quote software questions

Straight answers.

What is quote software?

Quote software lets you create, send and track quotes (also called quotations or estimates) from one place, instead of in Word or Excel. CRM Online does this and then turns an accepted quote into a project, a job card or an invoice in one click.

Can my customer accept a quote online?

Yes. Your customer gets a secure link to the quote. They can download the PDF, accept it with a signature or decline it, and you see the answer in your CRM straight away.

Does it work out VAT?

Yes. Set your tax rates once, for example 15% VAT, and every line on the quote is calculated for you. Your VAT number can show on every quote.

Can I turn a quote into an invoice?

Yes, in one click, or save it as a draft invoice to check first. You can also turn a quote into a project, or into a job card with the Job Card module.

Can customers ask for a quote from my website?

Yes. Add a quote request form to your website; every request lands in your CRM, ready for you to quote.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. CRM Online works in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so you can quote from site.

What does it cost?

Nothing for the first 30 days, and no card is needed. After that it is R575 per month for up to 5 staff, with quotes and invoices included as standard. No VAT is added: CRM Online is not a VAT vendor at present.
