Problem and solution
Requests from your own site, not from a marketplace
With a quote system on your website, requests come straight to you with the details you need, and you pay nothing per contact.
How it often works today
- Requests are sold on to several competitors at once
- You pay per contact, whether or not you win the job
- The information is often incomplete, so the first call goes on questions
- You call and wait. The customer has already spoken to four others
How it works with Timvat
- The request comes from your own site and only to you
- Fixed monthly price. No fee per request
- Your own questions and photos give you what you need straight away
- You see the status of every request and own the customer data
How this works varies between services. We compare the principle here, not named companies.

All the details in one place
The customer's answers to your questions, address, description, preferred timing and the photos all sit in one place. You don't have to dig through emails and messages to piece it together. That lets you price the job straight away and only call when you have something concrete to say. If the customer sent photos you see them in the request, and in the email you receive, so you can assess the job from your phone.
Reply quickly
A fast reply is often what decides who gets the job. The email you receive has a button that opens a reply to the customer with all the details in front of you. You can reply straight from your phone, between two jobs. When you've replied you mark the request as Answered, so nothing is forgotten and you can see who is waiting for you.
See what leads to jobs
By setting a status on each request — In progress, Answered, Won or Lost — you get a picture of how many turn into jobs. It helps you decide what to highlight on your website and which questions to add to the form.
Features
What's included in the quote system
The quote system is built into your Timvat website. You pay nothing extra for it.
Photos in the request
The customer attaches up to six photos. You see them in the inbox and in the email.
Inbox with status
New, In progress, Answered, Won or Lost. You always see where things stand.
Email the moment something arrives
You get all the details, the photos and a button to reply. The customer gets a confirmation. No commission, no lead fee.
Your own domain
The form lives on your address, so the customer sees your name.
Structured data
Your services are described to search engines with Service schema.
Multilingual form
The form shows in the visitor's language when the site has several languages.
Built for mobile
Customers fill it in and take photos from their phone. You reply from there too.
Together with time booking
Quotes and booking on the same site
You can use quote requests and time booking on the same website, so each customer gets the flow that suits the service.
A cleaning company, for example, can let customers book a fixed home-cleaning package directly, and ask for a quote on move-out cleaning, where the price depends on the home. Both flows live on the same site and land with you.
Industries
Quote requests for different trades
The quote system suits anyone who prices per job: tradespeople, cleaning, moving and building companies, and many more.
Quote system for roofers
A roofing job can't be priced without knowing the roof type, area and condition. With your own questions in the form you get those details in the very first request, and photos of the roof often let you give a first estimate without driving out. Your site shows past jobs and your service area, and is built for searches like roofer in your town.
Example questions: Roof type · Area in m² · Pitch · Preferred start
Read more →Quote system for electricians
Electricians get both small and large requests, from a single socket to a new fuse box. Let the customer state the type of work and property and attach a photo of what's there now. You see straight away whether it's a job you can price remotely or needs a visit, and the customer doesn't have to explain the same thing twice.
Example questions: Type of work · Property type · Rooms · Urgent?
Read more →Quote system for cleaning companies
For cleaning companies the quote is about area, type of cleaning and how often. A form that asks for exactly that lets you reply with a price straight away. If you have fixed packages, customers can book them online, while you also receive quote requests for move-out cleaning or larger jobs from the same site.
Example questions: Property type · Area · Rooms · Frequency
Read more →Quote system for moving companies
A move needs a lot of information: where it starts and ends, which floor, whether there's a lift and how much is being moved. With questions for that in the request and photos of the belongings, you get what you need to price it without a long phone interview. Requests are collected in one inbox where you see the status of each.
Example questions: From address · To address · Floor and lift · Volume
Read more →Quote system for painters
Painters usually price by area and number of rooms, and whether ceilings and trim are included. The customer fills that in and sends photos of the rooms, so you see their condition before giving a quote. The site can show before-and-after photos of past jobs, which is often what makes a customer get in touch.
Example questions: Number of rooms · Area · Ceilings too? · Start date
Read more →Quote system for builders and carpenters
Building and carpentry jobs vary a lot, so a free-text description and photos often matter most. You can add different services, for example bathroom, deck or extension, and give each service its own questions. Everything the customer submits lands together, so you can sort and reply in the right order.
Example questions: Type of project · Area · Preferred start · Budget

Questions about the quote system
What is a quote system?
A quote system lets your customers describe a job and send it in as a structured request, so you can price it and reply with a quote. In Timvat the form sits on your own website, and every request is collected in an inbox with a status.
Can the customer send photos?
Yes. The customer can attach up to six photos to the request. You see them in the inbox and in the email you receive, so you can often assess the job before you call. Photos have location data stripped before they're saved.
Can I change the questions in the form?
Yes. You add your services and can give each service up to four questions of your own, for example area, number of rooms or a choice from a list. Name, phone, email, address, description and preferred timing are always included.
Do I get a notification when a request comes in?
Yes, you get an email with all the details, the photos and a button to reply straight to the customer. The customer gets a confirmation at the same time that the request was received. SMS notifications don't exist today.
Do I pay per request?
No. You pay one fixed monthly price for all of Timvat, with no fee per request, per lead or per job won. It costs the same whether you get five requests or fifty.
Can I use it on my existing website?
The quote system is part of websites built in Timvat, so requests come in through your Timvat site. You can connect your own domain to it, so customers see your name and not ours.
Does it work with time booking at the same time?
Yes. You can have both time booking and quote requests on the same site. A cleaning company can, for example, let customers book home cleaning directly and ask for a quote on move-out cleaning, while everything lands with you.
How are customer data and GDPR handled?
Requests are stored on your Timvat site and are only available to you. We don't sell the data. How personal data is handled is described in our privacy policy, and you are responsible for how you use your customers' details.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The site and the form are built for mobile, where many customers see them first. The customer can take photos with their phone and send them straight away, and you can read and reply to requests from your phone.
