Built for Trades

If You Write Quotes,
This Is for You

ShopQuoteLab isn’t built around one industry. It’s built around one problem — getting a professional estimate out the door fast. Auto, roofing, electrical, plumbing — it works the same way across every trade.

🔧

Auto Shops

Parts, labor, diagnostics. Pull from your catalog and get quotes out while the customer’s still at the counter.

🏠

Roofing

Squares of shingles, tear-off, flashing, labor. Build accurate estimates from measurements without the back-and-forth.

Electricians

Panels, circuits, breakers, wire runs. Track part numbers and get signed estimates before the job starts.

💧

Plumbers

Fixture installs, pipe runs, service calls. Stop rewriting the same estimate — build it once in your catalog.

❄️

HVAC

Equipment, refrigerant, labor, service agreements. Estimate a full system replacement or a simple repair in seconds.

🔩

Fabricators

Steel, aluminum, hours, finish work. Line items by material and weight so your quotes reflect actual costs.

🏗️

Builders & Contractors

Framing, concrete, subs, materials. Keep every bid organized and every cost accounted for before you break ground.

🌿

Landscaping

Plants, mulch, hardscape, maintenance hours. Quote seasonal contracts or one-time jobs with the same tool.

Two Ways to Build Estimates

Use AI. Or Don’t.
Both Work Great.

Not every shop is ready for AI — and that’s fine. ShopQuoteLab gives you both options. Use whichever fits how you work, or switch between them job by job.

01
AI Builder

Describe It.
AI Builds It.

Type what you’d say to your tech. The AI reads the job, pulls matching items from your catalog, suggests labor hours, and fills every line item with part numbers and pricing.

  • Plain English job descriptions — no special format
  • AI pulls directly from your own parts & services catalog
  • Runs 100% locally via Ollama — no internet needed
  • Review and adjust every line before sending
  • Gets smarter as your inventory grows
02
Catalog Select
📦

Browse, Click,
Done.

Not into AI? No problem. Browse your parts and services catalog, click to add items, set quantities, and build your estimate the same way you always have — just faster and cleaner.

  • Search or browse your full catalog instantly
  • Click to add — quantities auto-calculate totals
  • Saved bundles for jobs you quote repeatedly
  • No AI required — works offline, always available
  • Same professional PDF output either way
The Process

Quote to Invoice
in Three Steps

01
📝

Build the Estimate

Describe the job in plain English and let the AI fill the line items — or browse your catalog and click to add what you need. Either way takes under two minutes.

02
📤

Send to Your Customer

Review, adjust, and send a professional PDF estimate. Your customer approves it digitally. You get notified the moment they sign off.

03
💰

Convert to Invoice

One click turns an approved estimate into an invoice. Track payment status in real time. See everything outstanding so nothing slips through the cracks.

What’s Included

Everything Your Shop Needs

Job History · Asset Records
📁

Backup & Export

One-click backup to JSON or ZIP, on a schedule or on demand. Export everything to CSV anytime. Your data is always yours — no vendor lock-in.

Auto Backup · CSV Export
Your Data. Your Machine.

The AI Runs
In Your Shop.

Every other “AI estimate tool” sends your job descriptions, your pricing, your customer list, and your parts catalog to someone else’s server. ShopQuoteLab doesn’t.

The AI runs on your own computer using Ollama — open source, completely local, free to run. Your data lives in a database on your machine. Not ours. Not a cloud.

  • No job data ever leaves your network
  • Works without an internet connection
  • No API keys, no usage limits, no per-query costs
  • Catalog mode works even if Ollama is off

Questions

Straight Answers

Do I have to use the AI? Can I just use the catalog? +
Absolutely. Catalog Select Mode works independently — no AI, no Ollama, no internet required. You browse your parts and services, click to add, and build your estimate. The AI is an option, not a requirement.
Do I need an internet connection to use it? +
No. ShopQuoteLab runs entirely on your computer. The AI engine, database, and app itself are all local. You only need internet to send estimates by email — and even that’s optional if you print them.
What is Ollama and do I have to set it up myself? +
Ollama is a free, open-source tool that runs AI language models on your own computer. We install it for you as part of setup. You don’t touch a command line — it runs silently in the background.
My trade isn’t auto repair — will it work for me? +
Yes. ShopQuoteLab works across roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fabrication, general contracting, landscaping, and more. The catalog mode works for any industry — you build your own parts and services list. If you write quotes, this tool works for you.
How do I get my current parts and pricing into the system? +
You can enter items manually or import a CSV with your existing catalog. If you have a price list in Excel or another system, we help you format and import it during setup. Pro Shop and Power Suite include bulk CSV import.
Is it really a one-time price with no ongoing fees? +
Really. You pay once and own the software. Power Suite includes one year of updates — after that, updates are available for a small optional fee, but the software keeps working either way. We built this for shop owners who are sick of subscriptions. We’re not going to become one.
