Quote & invoice app for painters in South Africa
Built for South African painters— branded with your logo, VAT-ready, straight into your customer's WhatsApp.
Get started freeZakr is a quote and invoice app built for South African painters and decorators. Walk the house, measure up, attach a photo of the walls, and send a branded, VAT-ready quote to the customer's WhatsApp before you've even left the driveway.
Interior repaint
Quote before you leave the driveway
Measure up, tap in the rooms and materials, and send — the quote is in the customer's WhatsApp before you've reached your bakkie. Quoting on the spot while the customer's keen wins far more jobs than promising to 'send something through tonight'.
Attach photos so there's no argument later
Snap the walls, the ceilings, the prep work needed, and attach the photos to the quote. Everyone's clear on what's included and what isn't — which means no disputes about scope when it's time to get paid.
Deposit up front, invoice when done
Paint and materials add up fast. Ask for a deposit the customer pays online when they approve, so materials are covered. When the last wall's dry, convert the quote to an invoice in one tap and let Zakr chase payment if it runs late.
