What QuotCraft does for painters
Area-based quotation builder
Enter room dimensions and QuotCraft calculates wall and ceiling surface areas automatically. Apply paint coverage rates to calculate the quantity of paint needed, so you quote accurately every time.
6% renovation VAT applied automatically
Interior and exterior painting on residential properties older than 10 years qualifies for 6% VAT on both labour and materials in Belgium. QuotCraft checks the eligible conditions and applies the correct rate.
Paint brand and product library
Build your own article catalogue with the paint products you use most: Dulux Trade, Sikkens, Levis Pro, Sigma: at your preferred prices and margins. Import from the catalogue to any quotation.
Photo documentation before and after
Attach before and after photos to each completed job from your phone. Store them in the project record and share them with the client. Useful evidence for warranty claims and future reference.
Per-room or per-surface quotation structure
Organise your quotation by room, surface type, or work phase. Group items into sections so clients understand exactly what each part of the price covers.
Automatic payment reminders
Send the invoice when the job is done. If the client does not pay within your terms, QuotCraft sends reminder emails automatically at intervals you configure.
Wholesaler connections for painters
Connect your wholesaler account once. Your personal contracted prices sync automatically into your QuotCraft catalogue: ready to use in any quotation.
