Built for the spreadsheet crowd

Still invoicing from Excel? This is the upgrade.

Most South African businesses still bill from a spreadsheet, a Word template and a folder of PDFs. QuipDesk keeps everything you like about that — the control, the simplicity — and removes the retyping, the maths errors and the chasing.

Hours lost every month

Retyping the same client details, rebuilding totals and hunting for last quarter's quote.

Cash sitting out there

Invoices nobody followed up on because there was no reminder, only a memory.

Numbers you can't defend

One broken formula and your VAT return is wrong — with no history of who changed what.

The spreadsheet way

The QuipDesk way

A quote template you duplicate and rename every time
A catalogue-driven quote builder with automatic numbering and expiry dates
VAT worked out with a formula someone typed in 2019
15% VAT applied per line or per document, with zero-rated and exempt handling
"Did we ever send that invoice?"
A timeline showing sent, delivered, opened and paid on every document
Chasing payment with awkward WhatsApp messages
Automatic reminders before due, on due and at every overdue stage you choose
A bank statement and a spreadsheet that never quite agree
Payments reconciled automatically by the gateway, with running client balances
Month-end spent rebuilding the same summary by hand
Ageing, VAT and revenue reports ready to export for your accountant
Import your existing client list from CSV Load opening balances so nothing is lost Keep working from your phone on site

Everything included

A complete billing system, not a form that makes PDFs

QuipDesk covers the whole money workflow — from the first estimate to the reconciled payment and the report your accountant asks for.

Quotes that close

Build, send and track quotes. Clients approve and sign online in their portal — with the date, time and IP recorded against the signature.

Invoices in seconds

Convert an approved quote in one click, with VAT, numbering, due dates and terms applied automatically.

PDFs you'd frame

Five templates, fully branded to your business, with a live preview and sample data while you customise.

Email that chases for you

Automatic reminders before due, on due and at every overdue stage you define — with open and click tracking.

Local online payments

PayFast, Yoco, Stitch and Paystack — settling straight into your own bank account, never ours.

Recurring & retainers

Schedule monthly retainers that generate, send and bill themselves, with pause and resume built in.

Send on WhatsApp

Share quotes, invoices, statements and reminders on WhatsApp in two taps — your wording, your number, with the payment link filled in automatically.

Client portal

A branded space with every document, statement and payment your client needs — no password to forget.

Full back office

Expenses with receipt capture, projects, time tracking, purchase orders and vendor records.

Roles & audit trail

Owner, admin, staff and accountant roles with a full record of who changed what, and when.

  • Approve and sign quotes online
  • Pay by card, instant EFT or pay-by-bank
  • Download any document as a PDF
  • Comment on a document instead of emailing

The gateways your clients already use

How it works

Live in an afternoon

No consultants, no implementation project. Set up your business details and send your first quote the same day.

  1. 01

    Set up your business

    Add your logo, registration and VAT numbers, banking details and invoice numbering. Takes about five minutes, and you only do it once.

  2. 02

    Load clients and services

    Import a client list from CSV or add them as you go. Build a catalogue of the products and services you sell so documents take seconds to create.

  3. 03

    Send your first quote

    Pick a client, add line items, choose a template and send. Your client gets an email with a link to a branded portal where they can approve it.

  4. 04

    Convert and invoice

    An approved quote becomes an invoice in one click. VAT, numbering and terms are applied automatically from your settings.

  5. 05

    Get paid online

    Your client pays through PayFast, Yoco, Stitch or Paystack in the portal. The invoice is reconciled and marked paid the moment the gateway confirms.

  6. 06

    Let it run

    Reminders chase overdue accounts, recurring invoices go out on schedule, and your reports tell you exactly where the money is.
