What does curtain and blind quoting software actually look like?

The easiest way to see it is to watch someone use it. Below, Daniel from our team in New Zealand walks through InterioApp in three minutes, from the product library to a finished quote. In short: your fabrics and products are stored once with their widths and prices, a new job is built room by room and window by window, the measurements go in, the price appears, and the quote goes to the customer as a PDF. When the customer says yes, the same job becomes the order and the workroom sheet.

How it works, step by step

The product library

Your suppliers' fabrics with their widths, pattern repeats and prices, and your blinds with their size grids. You set this up once, so the calculation is right without anyone looking anything up.

The job

A customer's job holds rooms and windows. For each window you pick the treatment, curtains, Romans, rollers or Venetians, then the fabric or colour, then the measurements and options such as the control side and fixing.

The price

The price is worked out as you go. Change the heading, the lining or the drop and it updates while the customer is still with you.

The quote and what follows

The quote goes out as a branded PDF. Once accepted, it becomes the order, and the workroom gets a job sheet with the sizes, fabric, heading and hems, without anything typed twice.

Where it came from

InterioApp started as the calculator we built for our own curtain shop, because quoting by hand was slow and every mistake cost money. That is why it prices the way a workroom thinks.

What to ask in any software demo

• Can you price one of my real products, with my real supplier grid, during the call?
• How does it handle pattern repeats and part widths on curtains?
• Does the workroom sheet come from the quote, or is it typed again?
• Who loads my products and prices, and how long does it take?
• What does it cost per user, and what is the setup charge?

For InterioApp the last answer is £99 a user a month, and setup from £1,800 in which we load your products and train your team.
