[01]The reckoning

Quoting shouldn't cost you your evenings.

The old way

Scribbled quotes. Lost evenings.

  • Job's priced, but the quote waits until 9pm at the kitchen table.
  • A figure in a text message. No logo, no breakdown.
  • Three days to send it. The customer's already rung someone else.
  • Another app, another password, another thing to learn.
The NorthBot way

Quote sent before you pull away.

  • Voice note the job from the van, straight into WhatsApp.
  • Branded PDF back in the chat, with the work listed line by line.
  • Forward it to the customer before you've packed the ladder.
  • Job done? "Invoice it." Same chat, same minute.
[02]How it works

Three steps. All in WhatsApp.

01

Message NorthBot

Tap the button and WhatsApp opens with the chat ready. Say hi. Your 14-day free trial starts there. No card.

02

Answer a few questions

Company name, trade, VAT, address, bank details, logo. About a minute, all in the chat.

03

Describe a job

Voice note or text. Check the summary, say "send it" and the branded PDF lands in the chat, ready to forward.

[03]What your customer gets

Proper quotes and invoices.
With your logo on.

Example NorthBot quote PDF for a full re-roof: company logo and details, customer and job address, nine lines of work, £6,500 plus VAT totalling £7,800, VAT and UTR numbers in the footer.
The quote. Your logo, the work listed line by line, VAT worked out, valid-until date.
Example NorthBot invoice PDF referencing quote Q-0042: total due £7,800, due date, bank details and a Pay now card payment button.
The invoice. Say "invoice it" and it references the quote, adds your bank details and a Pay now button.

Example documents for a made-up business.

[04]Invoices on WhatsApp

Send an invoice on WhatsApp in one message.

WhatsApp invoicing with no retyping, no invoice template and no laptop. Invoice by text or voice note. Tell NorthBot the job is done and the invoice comes back as a PDF in the same chat, ready to forward to your customer on WhatsApp.

  1. 01 Built from your quote. Say "invoice the Whitfield job" and it pulls the customer, address and price from the quote you already sent.
  2. 02 Bank details and a Pay now button. Your account details go on every invoice, plus your Stripe payment link, so a WhatsApp invoice can be paid by card in a tap.
  3. 03 CIS invoices with reverse charge VAT. Say it is reverse charge and the VAT comes off, with the HMRC wording added.
  4. 04 Your UTR, VAT and company number. On the invoice if you want them, so contractors are not chasing you for details.
  5. 05 Know who owes you. Ask "what is still unpaid?" and mark invoices paid as the money lands.
[05]What it does

Quotes, invoices, payments.
All from one chat.

Quoting and invoicing software for tradesmen, without the software. No forms, no spreadsheets, no dashboard. Tell NorthBot what you need like you would tell the office, and it does the paperwork.

(A)

Voice note the job, get the quote

An AI quote generator that works from a voice note. Say it the way you would to a mate: who it is for, where, what needs doing, how much. NorthBot writes it up with the work listed line by line and sends back a branded PDF in the same chat.

(B)

Send the invoice on WhatsApp

Voice to invoice in one message. Job done? Say "invoice the Whitfield quote". Due dates, CIS reverse charge VAT and your bank details all handled.

(C)

Get paid by card

Add your Stripe payment link once and every invoice gets a Pay now button.

(D)

Find anything you sent

"What did I invoice in September?" "Resend the Hartley quote." It is all in the chat.

(E)

Ask for Google reviews

Say "ask Sarah for a review" and NorthBot writes the message with your Google review link, ready to send from your WhatsApp.

[06]Why WhatsApp

You already live in WhatsApp.
Now your paperwork does too.

Nothing to install

It lives in WhatsApp, which you already use all day

No app to download, no password to remember, no dashboard to learn. Message a number and you are quoting.

Change anything

Your logo, wording and lines, all by message

Send your logo as a photo. Say "take line 3 off" or "change my bank details". Save your own version of a job to reuse next time.

Looks the part

Branded PDFs that look like a proper firm sent them

Your logo, company details, VAT, UTR and bank details on every quote and invoice. Forward it straight to the customer.

[07]Prefer a screen?

There's an app too.

Some jobs are easier to price sat down. The NorthBot quoting app gives you a step-by-step quote builder, trade job checklists and an AI assistant that knows your trade. Works in the browser on your phone, tablet or laptop.

  • Step-by-step quote builder
  • Trade job checklists
  • AI assistant for customer emails
  • Phone, tablet or laptop

[09]Straight answers

The questions
trades actually ask.

Made by Local Search North, the team that already gets UK trades found on Google. If something's not here, message NorthBot and ask.

What is NorthBot?

NorthBot is quote and invoice software for UK tradesmen that works as an invoice bot inside WhatsApp. Think of it as a WhatsApp invoice generator and quoting software in one: send a voice note or a text about the job and get a branded PDF quote back, then turn it into an invoice when the job is done. It is made by Local Search North.

Do I need to download anything?

No. NorthBot works inside WhatsApp. Message the number, answer a few setup questions and you can quote straight away. There is also an app if you prefer a screen, but you do not need it.

Do I need a card to start?

No. Messaging NorthBot starts a 14-day free trial with no card. When the trial is ending NorthBot sends you a link to subscribe at £39.99 a month.

Can I send an invoice on WhatsApp?

Yes. When the job is done, tell NorthBot "invoice the Whitfield job". It builds the invoice from the quote without you typing it all again, adds your bank details, a due date and a Pay now card payment link if you have one, and sends the PDF back into the chat. Forward it to your customer on WhatsApp like any other file.

Does NorthBot do CIS invoices?

Yes, with CIS reverse charge VAT. Tell it the invoice is reverse charge and it takes the VAT off, adds the HMRC wording and names the contractor who accounts for the VAT. It can also put your UTR, NI number and company number on your invoices.

How is NorthBot different from Tradify?

Tradify and similar apps are full job management systems: scheduling, timesheets, teams and a lot of screens to learn. NorthBot does the paperwork most one-man bands actually need, quotes, invoices, card payments and review requests, inside WhatsApp with nothing to install. NorthBot does not do scheduling, timesheets or team rotas, so if that is what you are after this is not the tool. If you just want quotes and invoices out the door quickly, it is a lot simpler.

Is NorthBot included with Local Search North?

Yes. NorthBot is included with our Growth and Pro website and SEO plans. You can also use it on its own for £39.99 a month after a 14-day free trial.

Can I just send a voice note?

Yes. Describe the job out loud and NorthBot writes it up. Text works just as well.

Can I change what goes on the quote?

Yes. Before anything is sent you see a summary with every line numbered. Tell it which line to change or remove, or save your own version of a job for next time. Your terms, logo and details can all be changed by message too.

Which trades does it work for?

Twenty trades so far, including roofing, plumbing, electrical, plastering, carpentry, landscaping, tree surgery, kitchen and bathroom fitting, tiling, gas engineering and building. Each has its own job descriptions so quotes come out right for your work.

How do I cancel?

Message NorthBot "cancel my subscription" and it sends you a link to manage or cancel. No notice period, no fee, no phone call.

Is my data safe?

Your quotes, prices and customer details are yours. We do not sell your data or share it with other trades.
