Quoting & invoicing built for painters in South Africa
Walk the house, price it room by room or by the square metre, and hand over a professional quote before you’ve left the driveway.
The fastest quote wins the job
The painter who sends a proper quote first looks the most professional — and gets the work.
The old way
You quote a “rough price” out loud, the scope creeps, and at the end there’s an argument about what was actually included.
With BlitzBooks
An itemised quote — prep, primer, two coats, labour — in writing up front, so there’s no debate when you invoice.
Three taps from quote to cash
Quote on site
Standing on the job? Build a branded, VAT-sorted quote and send it as a clean PDF before you’ve packed your tools.
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 painters ask about
Can I quote per room or per square metre?
Yes. Add a line per room or per area with your own description and price — however you work out your pricing.
Can I save my standard prep and coats as line items?
Yes. Save common items to your catalogue so your next quote takes thirty seconds.
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.
