A focused contractor workflow

Less retyping between the quote and the invoice

Qotara keeps estimating, document delivery, and invoicing together without asking a small service business to adopt a full accounting or job-management system.

Save repeat clients

Keep client contact details ready for future work, then edit anything that changed before you send.

Reuse regular services

Build a list of common labour, material, and service items with saved quantities and rates.

Set practical defaults

Choose a default tax percentage and estimate notes while keeping every job fully editable.

Deliver a branded document

Email the client a formatted estimate, secure document view, and downloadable PDF with your business details.

Turn won work into an invoice

Carry the client, project, items, totals, and notes forward instead of entering the same job twice.

Work from phone or desktop

Use the responsive web workspace at the job site, in the truck, or back at the office.

From site visit to sent estimate

A practical process for repeat service work

Start with the customer and job details, pick common services from your saved list, then adjust quantities, rates, discounts, and tax for the work in front of you.

The document preview updates with the total as you work. When it is ready, send the estimate to the client or download the PDF for your own records.

Contractor estimating questions

What to know before you start

Who is Qotara designed for?+

Qotara is designed for small service businesses and contractors that need a focused way to create estimates, send professional documents, and turn won work into invoices.

Can I create an estimate from my phone?+

Yes. Qotara is a responsive web application, so you can use the workspace in a modern mobile or desktop browser without installing a separate app.

Does Qotara calculate Canadian sales tax automatically?+

You can save a default tax percentage and change it for each document. Qotara does not choose the correct GST, HST, PST, or QST rate for you and does not provide tax advice.

What does my client receive?+

The client receives a formatted email with your business details, a secure document view, and a downloadable PDF. Replies are directed to the business email saved in your profile.

Can I convert an estimate into an invoice?+

Yes. Qotara carries the job details into an invoice so you can review and send it without rebuilding the document.
