Plumbing is half emergencies, half planned work — and both need a quick, credible quote. A customer with water on the floor wants a clear price now, and an insurance geyser claim needs proper paperwork and photos. QuoteDirect lets you price the job on the spot, take a deposit on the big ones, and keep the record straight so you actually get paid.

Made for the way plumbing jobs actually work

The everyday realities generic quoting tools miss.

🚨

Emergency call-outs

Price a burst pipe or blocked drain on arrival, pulling labour and common parts straight from your catalogue.

🔥

Geyser replacements

Quote the geyser, valves, tray and labour as one clear PDF — and take a deposit to cover the unit up front.

🧰

Materials & markup

Itemise fittings and materials separately, mark up billable supplier costs, and pass them through on the invoice.

📸

Before-and-after photos

Log photos and notes on every job — proof for insurance geyser claims and reassurance for the customer.

💳

Deposits & faster payment

Invoice a deposit on acceptance and track the balance to completion, so parts never come out of your pocket.

🔔

Follow up at the right time

See when a customer has opened your quote and chase it before it goes cold or they call another plumber.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best quoting software for plumbers in South Africa?

The best fit is software built for trade work, not generic accounting. QuoteDirect lets plumbers quote a geyser replacement, a burst pipe repair or an emergency call-out in minutes, itemise materials and labour, apply South African VAT automatically, and send a branded PDF from a phone on site. It starts at R199/month with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required.

Can I quote an emergency call-out on the spot?

Yes. QuoteDirect is built to use on a phone in the field. When you arrive at a burst pipe or blocked drain, you can price the call-out and repair from your saved catalogue and email a professional quote before starting work — then convert it to an invoice the moment it's approved.

Can I take a deposit on a geyser replacement?

Yes. Once the quote is accepted you can raise a deposit invoice to cover the geyser and materials, record the payment, and track the outstanding balance through to final payment on completion — so you're not out of pocket on parts.

Can I show before-and-after photos of a job?

Yes. On any job you can upload before-and-after photos of the work, log field notes, and capture a customer signature on completion — useful proof for insurance geyser claims and for building trust with the customer.
