What's the best quoting app for blind & curtain installers in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for New Zealand and Australian blind & curtain installers that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month, billed in AUD even in New Zealand. A sample Insta Quotes blind installer quote itemises the job into drapes, tracks and blinds lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for a blind installer in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so blind & curtain installers in New Zealand can quote before paying.
How do I quote blinds and curtains in New Zealand?
List each window and the product for it, such as "4 thermal-lined drapes with tracks and pelmets", and the AI prices the fabric, tracks and installation as separate lines in NZD, with 15% GST shown separately. Check the measurements, adjust anything, then email the quote to the client with an accept link.
What should a New Zealand blinds and curtains quote include?
Each window as its own line with the product, fabric and control type, with tracks, pelmets and installation listed separately. Show 15% GST under your GST number, say whose measurements the price is based on, give the lead time in the notes and set an expiry date. Exclusions print in their own box.
Can I price curtains by the metre and blinds by the square metre?
Yes. Each line carries its own quantity and unit, so drapes and tracks can be priced by the metre and blinds by the square metre on one quote, in NZD. Set your own rates and the AI uses them when it drafts the quote, and you can edit any line before sending.
Can I offer thermal lining or motorisation as an option?
Yes. Add them to the quote as optional add-ons. They print in their own section outside the quoted total, and the client ticks the ones they want when accepting, so one quote can show the standard option and the upgrade side by side without you sending two.
Can a client accept a blinds quote online and pay a deposit?
Yes. Email the quote from the app and the client accepts through the link on it. Turn on a deposit and they pay it at acceptance, which helps with made-to-measure orders. The accepted quote converts to an invoice in NZD with 15% GST, without retyping.
