Description

Insta Quotes is an innovative quoting tool powered by AI, specifically designed for tradespeople and contractors in Australia. Users can describe a job through text, voice notes, or photos, and within 60 seconds, the AI crafts a detailed quote that includes labor, materials, and GST, all aligned with the current market rates in Australia. Each item in the quote can be modified to suit individual needs, allowing adjustments to rates, quantities, and markup before it's sent out for approval. Once finalized, users can export the document as a branded PDF, email it to their client, and even collect a deposit via Stripe as soon as the quote is accepted. Moreover, accepted quotes seamlessly convert into tax invoices, which is particularly beneficial for builders, and the system supports stage invoicing along with integration into Xero for enhanced financial management. The tool also encompasses features for client management, saved templates, tracking quote openings, optional upsells, multi-user access for team collaboration, and booking/calendar functionalities. It caters to over 20 different trades, including electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, tiling, painting, roofing, and concreting. With a subscription starting at just $29 per month, users can take advantage of a 7-day free trial that requires no credit card information. This comprehensive solution streamlines the quoting process, making it easier for tradies to focus on their craft while efficiently managing their business operations.
