Run your trade business from the van — not the kitchen table at 10pm
You did nine hours on site. The last thing you need is another hour at home typing up quotes, sending invoices and updating a spreadsheet. ProQuoter is built for tradesmen who need to run a business from the road — not after hours at a desk.
What happens when the business waits until you get home
Admin done at home is admin done tired. Quotes sent at 10pm have gaps in them. Invoices raised from memory a week later miss extras. Follow-ups never happen because there is no system to trigger them.
Running a trade business properly does not require an office. It requires the right tools on your phone, working quickly, so the admin happens in the gaps — not in your evenings.
- Quotes sent days late because the laptop was the only option
- Extras agreed on-site forgotten by the time the invoice was written
- Outstanding money not chased because tracking it was too much effort
- Evenings eaten up by the admin the day did not have space for

What running the business from the van actually gives you
Evenings back
Admin done during the day means home is for everything else.
Faster cash flow
Same-day invoicing means faster payment. Most jobs chase themselves.
Nothing lost
Enquiry, quote, job and invoice in one thread — not spread across five apps.
Less stress
Knowing everything is recorded and sent takes the weight off. You do not need to remember — it is in the system.
The business in your pocket
FAQ
- Can I really run everything from my phone?
- Yes — quoting, booking, invoicing and payment tracking all work from a phone. Some tradesmen use a tablet for longer quotes. The van, a car park, a customer's driveway — ProQuoter works wherever you are.
- What about when I need a proper quote with lots of lines?
- You can build detailed quotes on phone or tablet. Price Book rates, labour, materials, sections, photos — the full quote builder works on mobile. Not just a cut-down version.
- Does it track what jobs are outstanding?
- Yes — you can see quotes waiting for a yes, jobs in the diary, invoices sent but unpaid and completed jobs with payment confirmed. Everything in one view.
