Repairs and specialist services: Quotation software for tent repair companies
Quotation software for tent repair companies that turns repair length, fabric use and zip work into a quote with clear assumptions, which customers can approve in one click.
Where quotes for tent repair companies get stuck.
Quoting is awkward for tent repair companies because damage often looks smaller in a photo than on the sewing table. A tear the width of a hand turns out to run under a seam, or the zip that needs replacing is locked into a reinforced corner. The repairer currently estimates in his head: this much sewing, this much fabric, a zip of that length. None of those assumptions are written down. When the job runs over, there is an argument with a customer who only saw a total. And for a tent that really needs replacing, there is no way to put repair and replacement side by side.

Turn damage into measurable lines
The repairer picks a method for each piece of damage, such as inserting a patch, restitching a seam or replacing a zip, and enters the length or size. The system works out fabric use, zip material and labour from rates you maintain yourselves. Each line stays linked to the photo it is based on.
State assumptions and ranges
Each line shows what the repairer assumed, for example that the seam underneath is sound or that the fabric is strong enough to sew onto. If damage cannot be judged properly from a photo, that line gets a range instead of a single price. Customers see where the price could still move.
Record approval and choices
The customer receives the quote with its lines, assumptions and perhaps a second option, such as repairing or replacing a window panel. They approve or pick an option, and that approval is stored with the job. If an assumption proves wrong during sewing, the workshop sends an addition to the same proposal.
Alongside your calculations and price lists.
Tent repair companies often write quotes in a word processor, a spreadsheet or straight in the accounting package. We take rates for sewing, fabric per metre and zips per length from those lists, and the workshop stays the owner of those rates. An approved quote can go to the accounting package as a draft, so the invoice later follows the same lines. Photos and damage details come from the enquiry form where there is one; otherwise the repairer enters them.
Fixed price or charge on completion
A fixed price works fine for a zip or a guy line loop. For tears and seam repairs, charging for actual work is fairer, but customers want to know where they stand. Many tent repair companies opt for a fixed price with a stated ceiling, above which the workshop gets in touch first. The quote shows which approach applies to each line.
Repair or replace a section
A tent roof tearing in several places can be repaired tear by tear or have the panel replaced. Repair is cheaper but leaves a weak spot; replacement uses more fabric and time but lasts longer. Putting both options in one quote lets the customer weigh them, rather than finding out afterwards that there was another choice.
Repair or advise against it
Sometimes the honest answer is that repair is not worthwhile, for instance with fabric that sun and age have made tear everywhere. That advice deserves a recorded form too, with the reason and any assessment charge. No enquiry is left hanging, and the customer understands why the workshop is declining the repair.

Your rates for the most common repair methods sit in the software, and per piece of damage you build a quote with photo and assumption, which the customer approves through a link. Those rates are brought over from your lists at the start. Together we go through a simple zip replacement, and a tear that turns out to run further during the work and needs an addition to the quote. Replacement options and passing the approved quote to your accounting package go on whenever you want them.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan we charge a different sewing rate per fabric?
Yes. Sewing through heavy PVC or thick cotton takes longer than light polyester. You set a rate or surcharge per fabric, and the quote picks it automatically from the fabric in the enquiry. The repairer can still adjust it on a job where the fabric behaves differently.
What happens if the damage is bigger than the photo showed?
The repairer records the extra damage with a photo and a short note, and the system creates an addition to the original quote. The customer approves that addition separately. Until that approval arrives, the workshop does not carry on with the extra work, so there are no surprises later.
How long does a quote stay valid?
You decide. A validity period is sensible in busy spring, when the schedule fills quickly. After that the quote can be reconfirmed with the same lines. If fabric or zips have gone up in price in the meantime, the workshop adjusts only that line.
Can the customer choose between several repair options?
Yes. For damage with more than one solution, such as gluing, resetting or replacing a window panel, the repairer can show options side by side, each with its own price and note. The customer picks one, and that choice goes straight onto the repair card for the workshop.
