QUFO
From quotation to payment, in one quick flow.
One of the things I’ve been thinking about after the feedback on my previous post is how to actually reduce customer follow-up work, not just give customers another portal.
Today I shipped a small but important part of that:
customers now receive the quotation by email with a secure review link
businesses get notified when a customer approves, declines, or requests changes
customers get email updates when a job reaches important milestones
those emails include a direct job tracking link
The goal is simple: customers shouldn’t need to keep asking “what’s the status?” and the business shouldn’t need to keep answering it manually.
Still need real usage to see whether this actually reduces follow-ups, but at least now the product can test that hypothesis properly.
I’ve been working on QUFO, a B2B SaaS for small service and production businesses that need a simpler way to manage their workflow from the first quotation to the final payment.
The idea came from seeing how businesses often manage quotations, customer approvals, jobs, payments, and updates across spreadsheets, chat messages, and separate tools. It works, but as the number of customers and jobs grows, it becomes harder to keep everything organized.
QUFO connects that workflow into one place:
Quotation → Customer Approval → Job → Production Updates → Payment → Completion
Customers can review quotations through a secure link, approve, decline, or request changes. Approved quotations can then be converted into jobs, and customers can track production progress through their own tracking link.
Recently, feedback also led me to add optional images and warranties per quotation item, which now carry through to the quotation PDF, approved job, and customer tracking page.
I’m still early and currently focused on polishing the product and learning from real business workflows rather than adding features just for the sake of having more features.
QUFO is live at qufo.im.
I’d especially love feedback from other founders:

2The end-to-end workflow is the interesting part here. Curious whether businesses see the biggest value in removing tool-switching, or in giving customers a single place to follow the job after approving the quote.

1Thanks Aryan! I think there are two sides to the value. For the business, it’s reducing the switching between spreadsheets, chat, quotation tools, and payment records. For the customer, it’s having one clear place to approve the quote and later follow the job without constantly asking for updates. I’m still early in validating which side resonates more strongly, but I suspect the customer-facing transparency could become one of the bigger differentiators. That’s something I’m paying close attention to as more businesses try QUFO.

1That makes sense. The customer-facing transparency could be the more distinctive value if businesses start seeing it as something that reduces follow-up work as well.

That’s a great point. I originally thought of the tracking side mostly as a customer convenience, but reducing repetitive follow-ups for the business may actually be the stronger value. That’s definitely something I want to validate with early users. Thanks for the insight!

1That’s an interesting shift. If reducing follow-up work proves stronger than the customer-facing convenience, that could give QUFO a much sharper business case.

Exactly. “Customer convenience” is useful, but “less follow-up work for the business” is much easier to connect to time saved and operational efficiency. I think that’s a stronger angle to validate with early users. Appreciate you helping me think through the positioning.

I wanted to build a simpler workflow that keeps everything connected—from quotation to payment—while making it easier for businesses to keep their customers informed.
