Sound familiar?
Every team running quotes on Word and Excel hits the same five problems.
!
Which revision went out?Nobody knows which version of the file actually reached the customer.
!
Unchecked discountsA rep grants 25% off and the quote leaves before anyone sees it.
!
Copy-paste pricingPrices copied from an old quote are stale, and the error surfaces at the sale.
!
No follow-upHow many quotes are open and how many were won — nobody can answer.
!
Approval lost in emailThe customer's "go ahead" is buried at the bottom of a thread.

Frequently asked
Didn't find what you're looking for? email us.
Is a proforma invoice the same as an invoice? Does Quote issue invoices?
No. A proforma is an advance document sent to the customer before the sale is final, showing prices, terms and delivery; it is not a tax or accounting document. Quote prepares quotations and proformas and does not issue invoices. Once the sale is confirmed, you issue the invoice in your usual accounting or e-invoicing software.
Can the exchange rate change later?
While the quote is a draft you can fill in today's rate with one click or type your own. Once the quote is sent the rate becomes part of the document and is fixed: two days later you still see the same total as the PDF your customer has. A quote with a foreign-currency line and no rate cannot be saved.
How does the discount approval limit work?
You set a discount percentage or an amount threshold. A quote above it goes to a manager for approval before it reaches the customer, and who approved it, when and why stays on record. The approval flow works only on the Cloud plan, with at least two people with Quote roles on the account; it is not on the single-device desktop plan or in the trial.
What exactly does "lifetime" mean?
The licence never expires and never drops to read-only — you keep using the version you paid for, forever. For 1 year after purchase you can also install new releases; when that year ends the app keeps working exactly as before, you simply stop getting new versions.
Why isn't the customer approval link in the desktop plan?
The desktop edition keeps data entirely on your device and has no public address, so there is no link for a customer to click. The feature comes with the cloud plan.
Where is my data stored?
Desktop edition: only on your own computer — we have no access to it and no internet is needed. Cloud edition: on our own servers, with each company's data kept separate from every other.
Can I import my customer list?
Yes. Customer lists import from a spreadsheet, and quote lines export to Excel.
Can I match the quote template to my own branding?
Yes. You can define multiple templates, each with its own page style, font, accent colour, header and footer text, column order, branch and document language. The company logo is uploaded once and appears on every template.
Does the app work in languages other than Turkish?
The interface ships in Turkish, English and Spanish. The quote document language is set per template, so you can issue an English proforma to an overseas customer.
