For painters and decorators

Painting business software for quoting fast and keeping crews moving

A painter wins or loses the job on the quote and makes or loses the margin on the days. ZYNKTRA gets the quote out while you are still at the house, then puts the job, the crew and the invoice on one screen.

From the walk-through to the final invoice

One record runs from the quote to the payment.

  1. Quote before you leave

    Describe the job, room by room if you like, and the quote is drafted from your own price book. You check the lines and send an itemised PDF.

  2. Follow up without ringing

    A quote that has not been answered gets a follow-up email. When the customer says yes, the quote becomes the job.

  3. Book the days

    Multi-day jobs go on the calendar against the crew doing them, and the calendar flags anyone booked in two places.

  4. Photograph before and after

    Photos with timestamps go on the job sheet. They settle arguments about existing damage and they are your portfolio.

  5. Get the sign-off

    The customer signs the job sheet on your phone when the job is finished.

  6. Invoice the same day

    One tap turns the finished job into an invoice, pushed to Xero or MYOB, with overdue reminders if it is not paid.

Built for you if

  • You quote a lot of jobs and lose some because the quote arrives days later.
  • You run two or more crews across several jobs at once.
  • You want before and after photos kept with every job.

Not the right tool if

  • You need a paint take-off from plans. ZYNKTRA drafts a quote from your prices; it does not measure drawings.
  • You work alone on one job at a time. A cheaper per-user app will do.

The quote is where painters lose work

Most customers get more than one quote, and the one that arrives first, is itemised and says what is excluded tends to be taken seriously. A quote sent from the driveway beats a better one sent on Friday.

What goes in it matters as much as when it arrives: the scope, the exclusions, how long the price holds and when you expect to be paid.

How to write a quote that wins the job

What it costs

Starter is $149 a month including GST for up to 10 users and 500 jobs a month, with quoting, scheduling, job sheets, invoicing and Xero or MYOB sync. Professional is $400 a month including GST for unlimited users and jobs, and adds the live team map, assignment suggestions and the route optimiser.

Neither plan charges per user, so the price does not move when you put someone on. For one or two people, a per-user app will usually cost less.

Questions people ask

Does the AI make up prices?
No. Quotes are priced only from your own price book. If something is not in it, you add the price yourself, and you check every quote before it is sent.
Can I schedule a job across several days?
Yes. A job has a start and a finish date and time, so it can run over several days on the calendar.
What does it cost for a crew of six?
Starter is $149 a month including GST and covers up to 10 users, so six people is still $149.
