Designed for practical work
Quotes done before you leave the driveway.
Most tradies quote at night after a full day on site. Wattlebase keeps your prices, customers and terms ready so a quote takes minutes, not an evening.
Signed online
The customer opens a link, signs with their finger and accepts. No printing, scanning or chasing an email reply.
Invoice in one tap
Turn the accepted quote into an invoice with the same customer, items and prices. Nothing typed twice.
Works with no signal
Keep quoting in a basement or out of range. It saves on your phone and uploads when you're back in signal.
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.
Step 1 of 3: This is the email Sarah gets. Open the quote as them.
To: Sarah NguyenQuote from Your Business Pty Ltd
Hi Sarah, here is your quote for kitchen tap and lighting repairs. Total $847.00 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.
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
How to quote faster as a tradie
A few habits make every quote quicker to write and easier for the customer to say yes to.
- 01Save your common items once
Add the labour rates, materials and call-out fees you use most so every quote starts half written.
- 02Quote while you're on site
Measure, price and send before you leave. Customers often go with whoever quotes first.
- 03Spell out what's included
List the scope, exclusions and how long the price is valid so there are no arguments later.
- 04Ask for a deposit
Add a deposit to bigger jobs so materials are paid for before you order them.
- 05Invoice the day you finish
Turn the accepted quote into an invoice on the spot and let the customer pay by card.
A better customer experience
Made for every trade
Electricians, plumbers, builders, carpenters, painters, tilers, roofers, concreters, landscapers, gardeners, cleaners, air conditioning techs and handymen all use the same simple flow: customer, quote, signature, invoice. See the page for your trade below for examples that fit your work.
Wattlebase is not accounting, tax or legal advice. Confirm GST, licensing and invoice requirements for your trade and state with the relevant authority or your adviser.
