For electricians
Quoting and invoicing software for electricians
Electrical work is quoted in detail and paid in stages, and the paperwork around it matters — clients, landlords and conveyancers all want documents they can file. QuipDesk gives you quotes that look like they came from a proper contractor and invoicing that keeps up with a job running over several weeks.
What you get
Built around how the work actually runs
Detailed materials schedules
Line-by-line quotes with quantities and rates, so a client comparing three quotes can see exactly what yours includes.
Staged invoicing
Invoice a deposit, a progress payment and a final balance against the same job, with running totals you can trust.
COC and compliance work
Keep certificate of compliance jobs as their own service line with your standard wording in the notes on every document.
Client history at hand
Every previous installation, quote and invoice sits on the client's profile, so a follow-up job starts from what you already did.
Approvals in writing
Clients approve quotes online with a signature and timestamp, which settles scope disputes before they start.
Correct VAT throughout
15% handled per line, with a period summary for your accountant and credit notes when something changes.
How it works
From first contact to money in the bank
- 1
Site assessment
Capture the client, the property and the scope, and quote from your saved rates.
- 2
Detailed quote
Materials and labour itemised, with your terms and validity period attached.
- 3
Deposit and schedule
Client approves and pays a deposit online, then the work goes in the diary.
- 4
Progress and final invoices
Invoice each stage and issue the final balance on sign-off.
Why your quote loses to a cheaper one
Often it is not price. It is that the cheaper quote is easier to understand and easier to say yes to. A quote that itemises what is included, states its validity period and can be approved from a phone in ten seconds beats a one-line email figure more often than you would expect.
Working with builders and agents
When you subcontract to builders or work through letting agents, invoicing turns into account management: several jobs, one payer, and a monthly statement. QuipDesk keeps every job on the client's record and produces the statement, so you are not rebuilding it in a spreadsheet at the end of each month.
Questions
Common questions
- Can I invoice a job in stages?
- Yes. Raise a deposit invoice, progress invoices and a final invoice against the same client and job, each with its own number and due date.
- Can I attach my standard terms to every quote?
- Yes. Set your terms once, with full formatting, and they appear on every quote and invoice. You can override them on a single document when a job needs it.
- Can I run more than one entity?
- Yes, each with its own branding, numbering and gateway accounts, from the same login.
