Build the quoting app with Appaca
Prompt Appaca with "Build a job quoting app with client details, line items from a service library, totals, and a quote approval workflow." Appaca builds the system.

Create a quote builder
Add line items from your services library or ad-hoc. Quantities and rates calculate line totals and grand total automatically.

Add a quote approval flow
Send quotes for internal approval before sending to clients. Track quote status: Draft → Internal Review → Sent → Accepted / Declined.
- 5
Enable client review
Share a formatted quote with the client and let them accept or request changes. Record the response and any negotiation notes.

Convert accepted quotes to work orders
An accepted quote automatically creates a work order with the same line items, ready for scheduling and delivery.
