Designed for practical work
Quoting tools that fit electrical work.
From a small service job to a larger installation, a detailed quote helps customers understand the scope and gives your team a consistent record.
Clarify the scope
Describe the work included, site assumptions, access requirements and exclusions before the customer approves.
Keep site contacts organised
Store customer, company, phone, email, address and notes with the related quote history.
Move accepted work forward
Record the customer response and convert an accepted electrical quote into an invoice.
Try the whole job
See what happens after you hit send.
Play the customer: open the quote, type a name and sign it. Then record a deposit and the final payment. It takes 30 seconds and nothing is saved.

Hi Sarah, here is your quote for switchboard upgrade. Total $2,167.00 incl. GST. You can review and accept it online.
Built for the trades
More than quotes and invoices.
The tools that protect the money on every job, all included in the same price.
Your wholesaler’s prices
Import your supplier’s price file, set your markup and see your margin on every quote. Customers never see your costs.
Variations signed on site
Extra work? The customer signs the variation on your phone or by link, and it’s added to the invoice.
Profit on every job
Materials, hours and other costs against what you invoiced, so you can see which jobs made money.
Compliance certificates
Record the CCEW, CES or other certificate on the job, with its number and file, and show the number on the invoice.
Licence and insurance reminders
Wattlebase emails you 30 days and 7 days before a licence, card or insurance runs out. Send the certificate to a builder in seconds.
More Google reviews
A short email the morning after a customer pays asks for a review. Never more than once in 6 months, with a stop link.
Property managers and sites
Keep an agency’s properties, tenants and work order numbers together, with smoke alarm and safety checks due.
Photos and optional extras
Add site photos to quotes and jobs, and let customers tick optional extras when they accept.
After the quote
The rest of the job, sorted.
Wattlebase keeps going once the customer says yes, from booking the work to getting paid.
Get paid by card
Every invoice can carry a Pay now button. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and the money lands in your bank.
Jobs and reminders
Book the job, set up repeat visits and let Wattlebase remind the customer the day before you arrive.
Bring your team
Invite office staff and workers. Assign jobs and give field workers their own view without the prices.
Xero and BAS ready
Send invoices and payments to Xero automatically, or pull a GST report for any BAS quarter.
Useful workflow guidance
Building a clearer electrical quote
The right level of detail reduces avoidable questions and makes it easier for the customer to compare the proposed work with their needs.
- 01Describe the installation or repair
State the location, proposed work and expected outcome in plain language.
- 02Itemise significant costs
Separate meaningful labour, materials, equipment or call-out components where useful.
- 03Record assumptions and exclusions
Explain access, existing-condition or supply assumptions that could affect the quoted work.
- 04Set validity and payment expectations
Include the validity period, deposit expectations and payment terms appropriate to the job.
- 05Give the customer a clear approval path
Send the quote with a secure link so the customer can review and respond.
A better customer experience
Professional presentation without rebuilding every document
Saved business details and quote defaults help keep electrical documents consistent while still allowing each job to be customised.
Wattlebase supports the quoting workflow; licensing, electrical safety, tax and contract obligations remain the responsibility of the business.
Common questions
What small businesses ask
Can I add both labour and materials?
Yes. Add separate line items with descriptions, quantities and unit prices.
Can I include GST?
Yes. GST can be enabled when it applies to your business and quote.
Can a customer sign the quote online?
Yes. The secure quote page supports a customer name, signature and accept or decline response.
Does it handle electrical invoicing and billing too?
Yes. Turn the accepted quote into an electrical invoice, email it with a Pay now button, record cash or bank transfer payments, see what is overdue and send invoices to Xero.
Can I keep my CCEW or CES with the job?
Yes. Mark a job as needing a certificate (NSW CCEW, VIC CES or another), add its number, date and file, and show the number on the invoice. Wattlebase keeps your record; it doesn’t lodge certificates with the state.
Can my customers pay by card?
Yes. Connect your own Stripe account and invoices and deposits get a Pay now button for card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The money goes to your bank, the invoice marks itself paid, and Wattlebase takes no cut.
Can my staff use it too?
Yes. The Team plan is $39 AUD a month for up to 5 people. Invite staff with Owner, Office or Field access and assign jobs to them; field workers see their jobs without the prices.
Is there a Wattlebase app for my phone?
Yes. There’s nothing to download from an app store. Open wattlebase.com.au on your phone and add it to your home screen in two taps, and it opens full screen like any other app.
What if there’s no phone signal on site?
Keep working. Quotes and customers you create with no signal are saved on your phone and upload automatically when you’re back in range. Sending and PDFs wait until you’re online.
