Smart tradies don't manually do quotes anymore. They quote a job by talking: describe it out loud the way you'd explain it to another tradie, and Genius Instant Quote writes the whole quote, parts, labour, the lot, with your business name on it. What used to take 30 to 60 minutes at the kitchen table takes less than three.

Watch the 39-second video above, then read how it works and test drive it on your own phone.

Why quoting eats your evenings

Most quotes get written after hours. You've been on the tools all day, you get home, and there's a pile of site visits to turn into quotes. An hour each means quotes go out days late, and the fastest quote usually wins the job. Replying fast to a quote request increases your chance of winning it by 50 percent. Typing is what slows tradies down. Talking isn't.

How to quote a job by talking

Four steps, and you can do the first three in the ute:

  • Tap one button and describe the job like you'd tell another tradie: the job, what you'll do, the parts.
  • Genius asks a few quick questions, like your hourly rate and anything else it needs to know.
  • It writes the whole quote, parts, labour, the lot, with your business name at the top.
  • Approve it, and it's sent straight to your customer and into your job management system.

What goes on the quote

The quote is built the way a real one is:

  • A scope of works written for your customer.
  • Labour at your hourly rate.
  • Parts and materials, priced.
  • Optional extras your customer can tick on or off.
  • GST and the total, worked out for you.

In the demo, parts are priced at average Australian prices. When Genius is set up for your business, it uses your own prices and rates.

It works with the system you already run

Genius doesn't replace your job management system. Approved quotes go straight into it, like simPRO, AroFlo or ServiceM8, so there's no re-typing. And because the quote is sent the same day, it can feed straight into automatic quote follow-up, which matters: 30 to 40 percent of quotes never get a single follow-up.

See it with your own job

There's no software to download. Pop your name, business name, mobile and trade into the demo page, which takes about thirty seconds. Tap the button and talk about your most common job, like you've just walked out of the customer's place. Answer a couple of taps, then check your phone: the finished quote lands by text, so you see exactly what your customer would get. The whole thing takes less than three minutes. If you want Genius in your own business afterwards, reply YES to the text and David will give you a call.

Frequently asked questions

Does Genius send the quote without me checking it?

No. Genius writes the quote and you approve it before it goes to your customer.

No. You describe the job out loud and answer a few quick questions. Talking is the whole point.

Will it work with my job management system?

Yes. Approved quotes go straight into your job management system, like simPRO, AroFlo or ServiceM8, so nothing gets typed twice.

Whose prices does it use?
