The problem
Still quoting in Word?
Chasing invoices by text?
Losing margin on every job?
The money side of contracting — quotes, costs, invoices, materials, purchases — leaks across too many tools. PaperDrop holds it all in one connected record per job, so the margin you quoted is the margin you make.
Quotes in seconds, not hours.
Save reusable templates for full quotes, sections, or common line items. Build accurate, professional quotes faster, with item quantities and a Labour vs Materials breakdown if you want one.
Send the work. Keep the price private.
Generate a no-pricing scope document from any quote with one click. Saved automatically to the job's Documents tab — perfect for customer sign-off without revealing your margin.
Margin, before and after.
See projected profit before you send the quote — costs vs rates, factored automatically. Then track quoted-vs-actual as the job runs. No more end-of-month surprises.
From job done to invoice sent.
Generate the invoice from the job — labour, materials, time, expenses, mileage, all already there. Customise terms, send straight from your branded domain, sync to Xero.
Stage payments, sorted.
Offer customers stage payments — deposit, milestone, completion — or rolling contracts. PaperDrop automates the invoicing schedule and tracks financial progress against the plan.
One library. Every job.
Build a central library of materials with cost and price. Search by description, part number or manufacturer. Reuse on quotes, purchases and stock allocations — no double-entry.
POs, suppliers, costs — connected.
Raise a purchase order with materials, costs and supplier links straight from the job. Track the PO number, attach delivery notes, and feed the cost into the job's financial overview.
Send from your own brand.
Deliver invoices, quotes and POs from yourname@yourcompany.co.uk instead of a generic noreply address. Track delivery rates and get bounce alerts so nothing falls between the cracks.

Yes — your branding, your terms, your layout. You can also send from a custom domain so the invoice looks like it's from you, not from PaperDrop.
Set up a payment plan on the job — stage payments (deposit / milestone / completion) or rolling contract billing with start and end dates. PaperDrop automates the invoicing schedule.
Yes — the Materials Library is a single source of truth used in quotes, purchases and stock. Cost (what you pay) and price (what you charge) are tracked separately for accurate margin.
