Quoting & invoicing built for carpenters in South Africa
Built-in cupboards, a deck or a custom unit — quote materials and labour cleanly, take a deposit for timber, and invoice on handover.
The fastest quote wins the job
The carpenter who sends a proper quote first looks the most professional — and gets the work.
The old way
You front the cost of the timber and board, then wait weeks to be paid in full — financing the customer’s kitchen out of your own pocket.
With BlitzBooks
A clear quote with a deposit covers the materials up front, and the final invoice goes out the day you fit the last hinge.

They say yes
A professional quote in their hand right now beats “I’ll email you next week.” Looking legit is how you win the work.
Invoice & get paid
Job done — tap once to turn the quote into a tax invoice, log the payment, and watch what you’re owed in real time.

The bits carpenters ask about
Can I take a deposit for materials?
Yes. Set a deposit percentage on the quote so the customer covers timber and board before you order.
Can I send a branded PDF with my logo?
Yes. Add your logo once and every quote and invoice is branded automatically.
Do I need a card to start?
Yes. A card starts the 7-day free trial. We check it with R1 and refund it straight away, so nothing is charged today. If you keep going it is R200 a month from the day the trial ends. Cancel in Settings before then and you pay nothing.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes — any modern iPhone or Android, plus desktop. Add it to your home screen and it runs full screen like a normal app.
