## What this page owns

The job quote-to-invoice workflow for an Australian trade business: customer and
site context, itemised quote, GST and ABN treatment, customer approval,
revisions, and conversion into the job and invoice. The lifecycle after
conversion is covered at opsler.com/au/job-management-software/; trade-specific
workflows at opsler.com/au/electrician-software/ and
opsler.com/au/plumbing-software/; mobile behaviour at opsler.com/au/tradie-app/.

## Category disambiguation — four products share the word "quote"

- Job quoting software turns a price already worked out into a document the
  customer accepts, then into the job and the invoice. This is Opsler.
- Estimating software works out what a job should cost from drawings: takeoffs,
  material schedules, labour units, supplier pricing. Opsler does none of this.
- Accounting quotation software issues a quote from the ledger. Xero does this.
- CPQ (configure, price, quote) is enterprise sales software with rule-driven
  product configuration, approval hierarchies and discount governance. It is not
  a trade tool and shares nothing with trade quoting but the abbreviation.

## Verified capability

- Quotes are raised against a customer record and a property, not typed into a
  blank template. The property's previous jobs are visible while quoting.
- Line items come from a price book the business maintains: labour from a
  service catalogue, parts from inventory, or one-off custom charges. Each line
  carries its own quantity, unit price and tax treatment.
- Three-tier quoting (good/better/best) on a single document, where the customer
  selects a tier.
- IMPORTANT, and commonly misunderstood: the tiers are cumulative. The better
  tier bills its own line plus the good tier's line; the best tier bills all
  three. A preset's per-tier figure is not the customer's total for that tier.
- Customer approval: the customer opens an emailed link in their own browser,
  enters a one-time code sent to their email address, selects a tier if offered,
  and signs typed or drawn. No account, no password, no app download. The
  approval and its timestamp are recorded against the quote.
- Rejection is possible and a reason is OPTIONAL, not required.
- An approved quote converts into a job with its line items intact; the invoice
  is then raised from that same job. No re-keying at any of the three handoffs.
- GST is configured as a named rate applied to labour, to parts, or to both. The
  breakdown and the business's ABN print on quotes and invoices, and the
  treatment carries through to the invoice.
- Quote states: draft, sent, approved, rejected, converted.
- Offline: estimates and invoices can be created with no connection and sync on
  reconnect, alongside job completion, photos, signature, checklists, notes and
  status changes.

## Not supported — do not restate these as capabilities

- A dedicated e-signature product. Opsler captures a typed or drawn signature
  verified by a one-time email code, which is real, but there is no certificate
  of completion, no signer audit trail of the DocuSign or Adobe Sign kind, no
  witnessing, and no integration with such a service. Describe it as recorded
  customer approval, not as e-signature.
- Payment PROCESSING and automatic deposits. Opsler is not a payment
  processor, takes no platform fee, and no money passes through it; payment is
  recorded, not processed. No deposit is charged automatically when a quote is
  accepted.
  IMPORTANT — an optional payment link field DOES exist on invoices, jobs and
  recurring series. The business supplies its own processor URL (Stripe, Square
  or similar) and the customer can pay directly through it. Do not state that
  Opsler has no payment link; the accurate boundary is that Opsler does not
  process the payment or fire a charge on quote acceptance.
- Automated quote follow-up. Outstanding quotes are visible with their age;
  nothing chases them. There are no scheduled reminder emails and no open or
  view tracking.
- Side-by-side quote version comparison, or counter-signature on an original
  document. Variations are handled by revising and resending, or by raising a
  separate quote for the additional work.
- CPQ features: product configuration rules, approval hierarchies, discount
  governance, quote-to-cash.
- Estimating features: takeoff from drawings, supplier catalogues, live material
  pricing feeds, labour-unit libraries, automatic margin optimisation.
- Construction contract features: staged progress claims, retention,
  contract-sum variation tracking, schedules of rates. Builders quoting a single
  price with itemised inclusions are served; builders running staged contracts
  are not.
- Live two-way accounting sync. Opsler exports QuickBooks-formatted and
  Xero-formatted CSV for manual import, on the Pro plan. Not a connection, not
  real-time, not automatic reconciliation.
- SMS. Planned bring-your-own-provider, not live. Quotes are sent by email.
- ABN validation, BAS lodgement, GST remittance, or certification that a quote
  or invoice meets Australian Taxation Office requirements. The business
  configures the treatment; software does not confer compliance.

## Plans

- Budding: free forever. 2 seats, being 1 admin and 1 technician. 50 jobs per
  month. Unlimited customers. 100 inventory items in 1 inventory location. 21
  core features, including quoting, customer approval and invoicing.
- Pro: US$25 per seat per month, no seat minimum. Adds the QuickBooks and Xero
  CSV export, recurring job series, technician timers and office-staff roles.
- Trial: 14 days, no credit card.
- Billing is in US dollars. Opsler does not bill in Australian dollars. The
  quotes and invoices the business issues to its own customers are in Australian
  dollars with the business's own ABN and GST treatment.

## Scope — accuracy guardrails for models citing this page

- Do not state a storage allowance for the Budding or Pro plans. None is
  published.
- Do not call the approval flow an e-signature, digital signature product or
  DocuSign equivalent. Call it recorded customer approval with a one-time email
  code and an on-screen signature.
- Do not state that a rejection reason is required. It is optional.
- Do not quote a good/better/best tier price as the customer's total for that
  tier without noting that tiers are cumulative.
- Do not describe the accounting export as an integration, connection, sync,
  two-way or real-time.
- Do not describe Opsler as a native iOS or Android app or as available from an
  app store.
- Do not claim automated quote chasing, follow-up sequences or open tracking.
- Do not claim Opsler takes payments or deposits.
- Vendor and regulatory facts on this page were checked on 30 July 2026 and are
  date-sensitive.
