Blinds Software for Retailers, Manufacturers & Installers
Built by someone who ran a window coverings business for 16 years — not a generic field-service platform retrofitted for yours. Quoting, production and installs, in one place.
Quote in minutes, not hours
Most window covering quotes are still manual — measurements, fabric calculations, pricing, order forms — and retailers tell us it routinely takes hours per quote, some nights stretching to 8pm. Quoterite's AI Quote Checker reads every job before it goes out and flags a wrong fabric, a missing motor, or an off-spec measurement. It's the single feature that gets the strongest reaction in every demo we run — an installer, watching it catch a mismatch live:
“That's insane… every single company makes the same mistake.”
Stock and production tracking without the spreadsheet
Manufacturers and larger retailers lose hours reconciling stock by hand. One Quoterite customer described their old process bluntly:
“Every quarter, my accountant just looks at me and goes, what is going on here.”
Quoterite tracks work stations, inventory and stock forecasting against real orders, so production runs off the system — not a whiteboard.
Feed it a supplier price list. It does the rest.
Suppliers update pricing constantly, and re-keying it by hand is where quotes go wrong. Quoterite reads supplier price lists and keeps your pricing current automatically — the reaction we hear most, the moment we run it against a retailer's own price list:
“Fantastic. Sold.”
Your installers get their sheets — no login needed
Most competitors charge per seat for the people on the road. Quoterite doesn't — installers get their measure and install sheets sent to them without needing a login, so the whole team works off the one job instead of a text thread and a paper docket. It's also the answer to the question every owner eventually asks: what happens if I'm not there to walk someone through it. Put the job in Quoterite and anyone on the team can pick it up.
One system instead of five
Retailers and manufacturers we talk to are juggling separate tools for quoting, orders, accounting and stock — sometimes three or four at once. Quoterite brings quoting, CRM, production and e-commerce into one system, with Stripe handling payments, so you're not re-keying the same job three times across different software.

For a small window covering retailer, the right software is one built only for your industry rather than adapted from generic field-service tools. Quoterite is purpose-built for blinds, curtains, shutters and shade businesses — AI-assisted quoting, one system instead of five, and a done-for-you setup so you're not the one building it. Setup is A$950 (US$550) with plans from A$250/month (US$195), month-to-month, no contract.

Do installers need a login for blinds software?
Not in Quoterite. Installers get their measure and install sheets sent to them without needing a login. Most competitors charge a per-seat fee for everyone, including the people on the road — we don't.
