Thintent serves as a quoting and invoicing solution tailored specifically for UK trade printers, whether they focus on litho, digital, or large-format printing. You can create a quote in a freeform manner, pricing as you typically do at the counter, or alternatively, utilize the integrated configurator to calculate costs based on your chosen press, materials, and finishing options, all while displaying the margin on-screen. A single branded link is generated for your customer, eliminating the need for logins, and it provides a professional PDF that is sent directly to your inbox for easy access. Customers can conveniently accept the quote and make payments using a card, Pay by Bank through Stripe, or via manual transfer or cash, with the invoice automatically generated as soon as they confirm. The software ensures compliance with UK VAT regulations, offers credit terms for trade accounts, and allows quotes to lock once sent; any revisions result in the creation of a new quote instead of altering the accepted one. There's no need to build a catalog first; you can add a press or paper type as needed when creating a job for the first time. While it doesn't function as a storefront or sync with accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage, its primary focus is to present a price to clients swiftly and facilitate prompt payments. Overall, Thintent streamlines the quoting and invoicing process, making it easier for printers to manage their transactions effectively.
