Getting started with QuoteCloud

Job templates for the work you quote every week

Save each everyday job with its labour, parts, options and wording, so a quote on site starts priced and only needs the customer's details and photos.

A job template in QuoteCloud is a saved quote for work you do often, such as a switchboard upgrade, a hot water replacement or a split-system install: the scope, price table with labour, parts and options, deposit, warranty and terms already in place. Start from a QuoteCloud trade template or your own; one is converted free in your trial.

Four job templates from a fictional business, Ridgeline Trade Services, behind index tabs that take turns at the front: a hot water replacement, a switchboard upgrade and a split-system install, each a price table of call-out, labour, the chosen option, parts and add-ons, and a café service plan listing monthly charges for air-con servicing, safety switch testing, test and tag and a backflow test.

Four templates that cover most weeks

Each card is one saved template from the sample business, read from its price table. On site, only the quantities, photos and customer change.

Save the price table, not just the document

The part of a template that saves the most time is the price table: the right labour lines, the parts every job needs and the options in a single-choice group, all from your price book.

Save a finished table to your content library and drop it into any quote, or keep it inside the job template. Review it when your price book changes.

  • Price tables saved as content library blocks
  • Options and add-ons kept with the table
  • Deposit set once in the template

Scope wording you never retype

What's included, what isn't, how long the water is off and what the warranty covers. Written once in the template, it's in every quote for that job, and the customer's questions arrive as comments beside it.

Job templates: questions

Are there quote templates for electricians and plumbers?

Yes. QuoteCloud's template library includes an Electrical Services Quote, an Electrical Services proposal template, a Plumbing Quote Template and a Plumbing Contract Template, plus HVAC, solar, roofing and home repair templates. Open one, add your logo, rates and terms, and save it as your own.

What is a job template?

A job template is a saved quote for work you do often, such as a switchboard upgrade or a split-system install, with the scope, the price table of labour, parts and options, the deposit, your company blocks and terms already in place. Each new quote for that job starts from it.

Can QuoteCloud convert my existing quote template?

Yes. During the trial QuoteCloud converts one of your existing document templates for free on the Essentials, Business and Enterprise plans, so your first job template looks like the quote you already send. More conversions are available as a paid add-on, billed per template.

How do I keep template prices current?

Keep your rates and parts in the product catalogue and build templates from catalogue items. When prices change, update the catalogue, for example with a supplier CSV import, and review the price tables in your job templates so new quotes start from current prices.

Can the whole team use the same templates?

Yes. Templates and Company content in the content library are shared across your account, and role permissions decide who can create or change them. Technicians quote from the same templates and price book the office maintains, so every van sends the same scope and prices.
