A quotation is a formal document shared by a seller with a prospective customer that outlines the price, quantity, terms, and conditions for supplying a product or service. It serves as an offer to do business and allows the customer to evaluate pricing before making a purchase decision.
A professional quotation typically includes customer details, product descriptions, quantity, unit price, taxes, payment terms, delivery timelines, validity period, and any special conditions agreed upon between both parties.
Unlike an invoice, a quotation does not confirm a sale. It simply communicates the seller's offer. Once the customer accepts the quotation, the transaction moves to the next stage, which may include a Sales Order, Proforma Invoice, or directly to a Tax Invoice depending on the business process.
Key Distinction: Quotation = Offer | Invoice = Confirmed Sale
For businesses, quotations are much more than pricing documents. They create the customer's first impression of your professionalism and directly influence buying decisions. A well-designed quotation with accurate pricing and clear terms builds trust, reduces misunderstandings, and improves the chances of closing the sale.
As businesses grow, managing quotations manually becomes increasingly difficult. A Quotation Management Software helps standardize quotation formats, centralize pricing, track revisions, and maintain complete visibility over every quotation sent to customers.
