Built for day-to-day service work

A focused estimating workflow for service contractors

Qotara covers the path from client request to sent document without forcing a small team into a heavy construction-management system.

Reuse regular services

Save common labour, material, and service items, then adjust the quantity or rate for each job.

See totals as you build

Review subtotal, discount, tax, and total while the scope changes instead of calculating them separately.

Send a professional estimate

Deliver a branded email, secure document view, and downloadable PDF using the business details you saved.

Convert estimates to invoices

Carry the client, project, scope, totals, and notes forward when the work is ready to invoice.

Add job scheduling

Choose a Schedule plan to assign work, organize team members, and view jobs by day, week, or month.

Keep a usable record

Save, search, print, and download documents so the final version is easy to find later.

From request to invoice

Estimate the job once, then move the same work forward

Start with the client and project, pick saved services, and tailor the scope to the actual job. Qotara keeps every line editable, so a preset speeds up the work without locking the estimate.

When the estimate is accepted, convert it to an invoice and review any final changes. Teams using Qotara Schedule can also place the job on the calendar and assign it to the right person.
