Questions
Can I price by the sheet or square foot?

Price material in the unit you buy and sell it in: kg, lb, sheet, square foot, linear foot, board foot or each. It is your library, so the unit is whatever you type.

Does it make proofs or cut files?

No. Keep your design software for proofs and cut files. Quotara quotes the job and tracks it through the shop.

Can I track the install separately?

Yes. Mark it as site work. It stays marked on the work order and in job costing.

How long does setup take?

Drop in the spreadsheet or price list you quote from today and Quinn fills in your rates, showing where each number came from. Or send your files and Andrew, Quotara’s founder, sets up your shop for you, usually within one business day.

Stop pricing signs from memory.
