Quotations

From enquiry to quotation in under a minute

Every minute you wait between an enquiry and a quote is a minute your competitor is already answering. Render9 lets your team respond with a professional, GST-ready quotation directly from their phone — before the lead goes cold.

Why speed wins the deal

Buyers today compare at least three vendors before committing. The vendor who responds first — with a clean, itemised quote and a ready payment link — almost always wins. A desktop-only quoting tool locked inside an accountant's laptop cannot compete with that.

What a great quotation looks like

  • Your branding and GSTIN, clearly visible at the top.
  • Line-level taxes and discounts, with HSN codes for compliance.
  • A running subtotal so the customer can see the math.
  • Terms of payment, validity, and a single 'Accept & Pay' call-to-action.
  • An attached catalog PDF for upsell.

How Render9 speeds it up

Pick a template, search your catalog, adjust quantities and taxes, and share over WhatsApp — all from the mobile app. Accepted quotes auto-convert to a sales order and a GST invoice. No retyping, no mismatch between what was quoted and what was billed.

Pro tips from teams running on Render9

  • Pre-build 3–4 templates: 'standard', 'bulk', 'annual', 'custom' — switch with one tap.
  • Use expiry dates on quotes to create urgency.
  • Attach a short video demo of your product along with the quote.
  • Set a reminder for 48 hours later — Render9 will nudge the customer automatically.
