The price book is in their hand

Your whole catalog, with photos and prices, on the phone. Nobody has to call the office to ask what something costs.

  • Line items pulled straight from your price book
  • Discounts and tax calculated for you
  • Good, better, and best options on one quote
  • Save it as a draft and finish it in the truck

They sign before you leave

The customer signs on the screen and gets a copy by email. The approved estimate becomes the job.

  • Signature captured on the device, saved to the estimate
  • Emailed to the customer automatically
  • Approved quotes convert straight to scheduled work
  • They can also approve and sign from their portal

Quotes change. Pillar keeps up.

A quote is not final until it is signed, and half of them get revised first. Every revision is kept.

  • Expiry dates, so old prices die on schedule
  • Every revision kept as a numbered version
  • Superseded quotes stay on the record instead of vanishing
  • Change orders after approval
Drafts, saved in the truck.

How it goes

One water heater, quoted in forty minutes

10:05 am

In the basement

The old unit is done. Your technician opens the catalog on the phone and shows the customer three replacements with photos.

10:20 am

Good, better, best

All three go on one quote at your prices, with the tax and the discount worked out already.

10:35 am

The signature

They pick the middle one and sign on the screen. A copy is in their inbox before the truck pulls away.

10:36 am

Already a job

The approved quote is a scheduled job carrying the same line items. Nobody types it again.

Switched on, like everything else

Estimates cost nothing to build, send, or get signed, and that covers drafts, revisions, change orders, and good-better-best options. While you are the only person on the account Pillar creates 100 estimates a month, alongside 100 jobs and 100 invoices.

Questions about quotes and signatures

Can the customer sign the estimate on my phone?

Yes. They sign on the screen, the signature is saved on the estimate, and a copy goes to their email.

What happens when an estimate is approved?

It converts to a job carrying the same line items. Nothing is typed twice.

Can I offer good, better, and best options?

Yes. One quote carries all three, the customer picks one, and the pick becomes the job.

Do estimates expire?

Yes. Every estimate takes an expiry date, 30 days by default, so an old price cannot come back to bite you. Revised quotes keep the old version on the record.

Do estimates cost anything to send?

No. A one-person account creates 100 a month, which is a full month of quoting for a solo operator, and a second person at $39 a month lifts it.
