From quote to job done

Every enquiry, quote, and job, on record.

Trade runs on quotes, site visits, and follow-ups, and most of it happens on WhatsApp and in memory. HotKup puts the whole job on record, from the first call to the final invoice, without adding paperwork.

  • Every quote on record. A WhatsApp price becomes a written quote you can prove, so no client misremembers the number.
  • Run it from your phone. Quotes, jobs, and history on site, on a 3G connection, no laptop.
  • Full history, years later. The 2028 call about a 2024 geyser opens to the whole property record.
Where trade businesses lose money

The three things that cost trade businesses, and how HotKup fixes each.

01 / Quoting

Get quotes off WhatsApp and on record.

A price agreed over a chat or a phone call has no written record. The client misremembers it, you cannot prove what you said, and it ends in a dispute, a bad review, or a lost deposit. In HotKup, every quote sits on the client, so you can always show exactly what was quoted.

  • Every quote written down and on the client record.
  • No he-said dispute when the invoice arrives.
  • Follow-up set on every quote, so warm jobs do not go cold.
What you quoted, in writing: no he-said dispute.
02 / Enquiries

One link replaces the WhatsApp back-and-forth.

Twenty enquiries a week, half of them hot, and whoever called last gets the follow-up. Send a single link instead: the client submits their address, the problem, and photos, and it lands in your pipeline already assigned and tagged, with nothing to piece together from a chat thread.

  • Address, problem, and photos captured up front.
  • Enquiries land in the pipeline, assigned and tagged.
  • No hot lead lost because someone forgot to reply.
Address, problem, photos: straight into the pipeline.
03 / Margin

Know a job's labour before it eats the margin.

A fixed-price job that runs long quietly turns a profit into a loss. Log hours against the job as the crew works, and see actual time against what you quoted, so an underwater job shows up while you can still do something about it, not at invoice time.

  • Hours logged on the job as the work happens.
  • Actual labour against the quoted price, in real time.
  • Catch a job going over before the margin is gone.
Actual hours against the quote, before the job is done.
The view from the top

See every quote, job, and what is making money.

How many quotes are out and unaccepted, which jobs are on the go, which are profitable, and who is overloaded. HotKup turns it into one live view, so you can chase the quotes worth chasing and catch a job slipping before it costs you.

  • Open quotes awaiting acceptance, in one list.
  • Jobs in progress, with labour against the quote.
  • No chasing the crew for where a job stands.
Quotes out, jobs on, margins in: without a manual report.
Built around your reality

Made for how trade businesses actually run.

Built for the van, not the office

A full mobile app that works on a weak connection, with no training. Quote, update a job, and pull up a client from the driveway.

Every job remembered

Full client and property history, so a call years later opens to the previous jobs, the last quote, and the site, not a blank page.

Service contracts on autopilot

Annual services, quarterly inspections, and maintenance plans scheduled once and created automatically, so recurring work never slips.

Run your quotes and jobs from your phone.
