From the system quote to the service call

Home theatre, smart home, boardroom AV, digital signage. Big quotes, install crews, and a service relationship that should carry on long after the racks are in. QuixChex runs all three.

How a job runs

One Job, Start to Finish

You quote a whole-house system. It's approved and becomes a job with a deposit against the equipment order. Installers clock in at the site over the week. On completion the balance bills — and a service agreement starts charging monthly from then on.

The system quote goes out
Built off your catalogue instead of rebuilt from scratch, so a long bid is an afternoon and not a week.
The deposit covers the equipment order
Taken on approval, so the gear is on order before your own money is tied up in it.
The service agreement starts at handover
The revenue does not stop when the last speaker goes in — it bills monthly from there.

Room finished. Service running. Paid.

Quotes, Install, Handover

System quotes are long and get rebuilt every time

Build the quote from your own line items, get it approved, and it becomes the job without anyone re-typing the bill of materials.

Install is days of crew time across trades

Assign the install and see who is on site while they are clocked in. The job carries the days each of them gave it, at their own rate.

The money stops at handover

It shouldn't. Service agreements and monitoring can run as recurring charges after the install, which is the revenue that compounds.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Can I take a deposit against the equipment order?

Yes. Split the job so the gear is paid for before it's ordered and the balance bills at handover.

Can I run service agreements after the install?

Yes, and it's worth doing — a recurring monthly charge that starts when the install completes, on the same client record as the job.

Does it handle commercial and residential?

Both. A boardroom fit-out and a home cinema are the same shape of job — quote, deposit, install crew, balance — at different sizes.

Does the client have to sign the quote, or is clicking a link enough?

The link is enough, and it’s the only route there is — no signing app, no pen. The client opens the quote from the link and approves it in their own name; the quote keeps that name, the date and time, and the IP address the approval came from. Approving is also what moves the record out of quotes and into the work you bill against.

The client cut a zone after we started. Can the price go down?

Yes. A change order can be a credit as well as an addition — a negative amount takes agreed work back off the contract. When you send it, they see what the price is now and what it becomes if they agree, so nobody is measuring it against a quote from six weeks ago.

Does the monthly service agreement charge on its own, or do I chase it?

Your call, set on that schedule. On automatic it charges the card or bank account already on the client’s record on the due date and nobody touches it. On the other setting it emails a pay link on the due date and charges nothing — which is what a commercial client who pays from an invoice needs.
