Quotes
A quote is what you propose: the products, the quantities, the print locations, the fees, and the price. You build it, send the customer a link, and they approve it in two taps.
Why quotes matter
The quote is the front door to everything else. When a customer approves a quote, ManagePrint automatically creates an invoice and a job from it. You never re-enter line items, the order is billable and in production the instant it’s approved.
That one-approval-creates-two-records idea is the core of the platform. If you read one concept page, read The job lifecycle.
A quote’s life
- Draft — you’re building it.
- Sent — it’s out with the customer, waiting on a yes.
- Approved — they signed off. An invoice and job are created.
- Rejected — they declined.
These four statuses are fixed, they describe the pre-sale path every quote takes.
