Getting started with QuoteCloud

CCTV drain inspection reports with the works ready to sign

Marked-up frames, your findings rated by urgency and every recommended work as an item the owner ticks, signs and pays a deposit on.

Drainage and CCTV specialists use QuoteCloud to turn an inspection into one document: frames from the recording marked up in the image editor, each finding rated urgent, soon or monitor by the drainer, and each recommended work as an optional item in the price table. The owner ticks the works, signs on site or online and pays a deposit.

A CCTV monitor and a long section of a fictional 18.4 m clay sewer line. The camera head moves along the line and stops at each finding, where the frame grab is shown marked up with the drainer's rating: 1, a root mass at a junction at 3.4 m, urgent, $1,680; 2, a displaced joint at 8.1 m, urgent, $2,940; 3, a sag holding water at 11.6 m, soon, $3,860; 4, a hairline crack at 15.2 m, monitor, $260. The findings list fills in beside it, ending with four findings marked up and two urgent works ticked.

Try it: from the camera to signed works

Step through Tama's marked-up frames, build the report, then hand over the tablet: tick the works, sign and pay the deposit as Ingrid would.

Weirbrook's tablet, handed to Ingrid on site · the report opens in the browser

A demo with a fictional business: nothing is sent, stored or charged. In QuoteCloud the frames are images you grab from your recording and mark up in the image editor (Starter and up); QuoteCloud doesn't upload, play or analyse video. The ratings are your drainer's, and each becomes a group in your report template with its works as optional rows from your price book.

The report and the quote are one document

Ingrid's sewer report as she read it on the tablet. Every part is a block from Weirbrook's drain report template.

  5. Questions on the spot

    Ingrid asked whether the boundary opening could be done with the dig. Tama answered in the comments, and she ticked it.

    Before we start

    • Prices are fixed for the works you tick. Anything new we find is quoted to you first.
    • The excavation at 8.1 m is in the lawn; we reinstate the turf but not garden beds.
    • The marked-up frames and this report stay with this document for future reference.
    • Prices valid until Thu 5 Nov 2026.

    Ingrid LarsenCould the boundary opening be done at the same time as the dig?

    Tama, WeirbrookYes, same visit. It's in the Soon group if you'd like to tick it.

  6. Signed on the tablet, deposit paid

    She signed on Tama's tablet before he left. The office saw the signature and the deposit, and the job was created in their job app through Zapier.

Signed at the inspection opening, not a week later

A report on its own gets filed, and a quote that follows days later stalls. With the findings and the priced works in one document, the owner decides while the drainer is still there to explain the frames.

They sign on your tablet, in person, and pay the deposit through Stripe or PayPal. The activity log shows the office what happened, and a Zapier step can create the job in your job management app.

Questions plumbers ask

Can I put CCTV footage into a QuoteCloud report?

You add frames from your recording as images: grab a still at each finding, add it to the report and mark it up in QuoteCloud's image editor with rings, arrows and labels. QuoteCloud doesn't upload, play or analyse video, so keep the full recording in your own camera software.

Does QuoteCloud rate the condition of the pipe?

No. The ratings are your drainer's own. Set up your rating scale, such as urgent, soon and monitor, as groups in your report template, and your drainer chooses a rating for each finding. No grading standard is built in and nothing is rated automatically.

How does the owner choose which works to do?

Each recommended work is an optional row in the price table, grouped by rating. You tick the urgent works by default; the owner ticks or unticks the rest and the total and deposit update. Then they sign and pay the deposit.

Can the owner sign on my tablet at the job?

Yes. Signing in person on your own device is supported, and the owner doesn't need an account. The signed report carries a certificate of authenticity and an audit trail, and the deposit can be paid through Stripe or PayPal straight after signing.

Can a signed drain report create the job in ServiceM8 or simPRO?

Yes, through Zapier. A Zapier trigger such as Recipient Signed Document or Document Payment Event can start a step in ServiceM8 or simPRO. QuoteCloud itself doesn't schedule or dispatch the job.
