QuoteDesk is a quotation system for Indian traders, distributors and small manufacturers. A customer’s enquiry on WhatsApp, or a photo of a handwritten list, is matched to your own price list and becomes a ready quotation PDF with your logo and GSTIN, which you check and send. Every quote is logged with a follow-up reminder. We set it up with your price list in about two days.

Illustration

Illustration of QuoteDesk on a phone. A customer sends an item list in a chat. The owner forwards it to QuoteDesk, which matches each item to the price list and flags one item to confirm. A sample quotation with GST and a total appears. The owner taps Send, the PDF goes to the customer, and a follow-up reminder is set for Thursday.

Is this you?

  • Monday, 9.40 am: 27 unread chats, nineteen of them a product photo and the word “rate”.
  • You are at the godown. The shop boy replies “rate confirm karke batata hoon” and never does.
  • A retailer in Siliguri asks for 40 items. You type them one by one from a printed sheet with pen corrections.
  • The price list changed on the 1st. Three customers are still quoting you the March PDF.

How it works

  1. 1

    The enquiry comes in

    On your WhatsApp, as a message or a photo of a handwritten list. You forward it to your QuoteDesk number; the customer sees nothing new.

    Illustrative A customer’s list arrives on WhatsApp.

    A WhatsApp chat in which a customer sends a list: 50 bag cement, 20 pc TMT 12mm, 10 box floor tiles 2x2, 5 kg binding wire.

  2. 2

    Every item is matched to your price list

    Your names, your rates, your units. Anything QuoteDesk is not sure about is flagged for you to confirm, never guessed.

    Illustrative Items matched; one flagged to confirm.

    QuoteDesk lists four matched items with ticks; the floor tiles line is flagged "please confirm" because two finishes exist.

  3. 3

    You check the quotation and send it

    A one-page PDF with your logo, GSTIN and terms. You check it and send it to the customer from your own number, in the same chat.

    Illustrative The quotation, ready to send.

    A one-page quotation from Maa Tara Traders with four lines, subtotal, GST and total, stamped SAMPLE.

  4. 4

    The quote is logged, with a follow-up reminder

    Every quotation sits in one list: sent, viewed, follow-up due. Nothing is forgotten because someone was busy.

    Illustrative The quotation log.

    A list of quotations with status: Q-0142 sent today, follow-up Thursday; Q-0141 order received; Q-0139 follow-up due.

Questions

Illustration: the VV helper bot thinking
Do I need to change my billing software?

No. QuoteDesk makes the quotation. Tally sync can be added later if you want quotes to flow into your books.

My rates change every week. Will it quote stale prices?

It quotes from the price list you keep. Update one sheet and every quote after that uses the new rate. Items it cannot match with confidence are flagged for you, not guessed.

I give different rates to different customers.

Keep dealer, retailer and project rates as columns in the same sheet; we set QuoteDesk up to quote from the right column for each customer. A one-off rate you change on the quotation before sending.

Which number does my customer see?

Yours. The customer writes to your WhatsApp as always. You forward the list to QuoteDesk and send the quotation back from your own number. QuoteDesk never messages your customer.

Is my price list safe?

Only the person setting up your system sees it. It is not shared with anyone, used only for your quotes, and if you do not go ahead we delete it.

How long does setup take?

About two days once we have your price list.

Can I see it with my own products first?

Yes. Send your price list and visiting card on WhatsApp and we will show you your own system.

If I stop the monthly, does it stop?

QuoteDesk keeps running on hosting in your name; our support and the monthly improvements stop, and we help you export your quotes and price list. You can cancel any time with 30 days’ notice; it is written in the quote.

What if a customer writes in Bengali or Hindi, or sends a photo?

QuoteDesk reads text and clear photos of lists in English, Bengali and Hindi, and flags anything it cannot read for you to fill in.

Price

QuoteDesk is new. The first three businesses pay

₹15,000 setup + ₹3,000 a month

After that: from ₹25,000 setup + ₹5,000 a month. Prices are plus 18% GST.
