The Core Three

Quote It. Track It. Invoice It.

Three screens. One job per screen. That’s the product. Everything else is a trap.

01 · Quote It

Built For Speed.
Priced For Shops.

Drop in the customer. Add line items for material, labor hours, and outside services. Markup and tax auto-apply. Hit send — PDF lands in the customer’s inbox with your logo on it.

Keyboard-first. You’ll crank through a busy morning of quotes without touching the mouse.

  • Material + markup, labor hours × rate, outside services — all on one line
  • Tax auto-calculates per customer’s tax-exempt flag
  • Branded PDF output with your logo and terms
  • Duplicate quote for repeat work — 30 seconds, not 30 minutes

Status. Not Scheduling.

Customer accepts the quote? It becomes a Job automatically. No re-typing. No “convert to job” wizard. It just shows up in your job list.

Four statuses: New, In Progress, Complete, Shipped. That’s the whole workflow. This is not a scheduling system. No Gantt charts. No machine utilization. No capacity planning. You already know what’s on the floor.

  • Sorted by due date, status, or customer
  • Manual status transitions — you decide what’s in progress
  • Optional target ship date and actual ship date tracking
  • Status history logged automatically for audit trails

03 · Invoice It

One Click.
Zero Double-Entry.

Mark a job complete. Click “Create Invoice.” Done. The invoice pre-populates from the accepted quote — same customer, same line items, same pricing.

QuickBooks sync pushes the customer and invoice over for you. Your bookkeeper stops hating you.

  • Invoice generates from the accepted quote — no re-entry
  • Email with PDF attached, lands in the customer’s inbox
  • Record payments — full, partial, or scheduled milestones
  • QuickBooks Online sync via OAuth — one-way push, no double-entry
