Frequently asked questions

The most common questions about Tekliva, the free quote generator and quote tracking.

Free quote generator

Is it really free?

Yes. Create and download as many quotes as you like without signing up.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere permanent. Your details are sent to our server only to build the PDF, the PDF is returned to you and nothing is stored. The form content stays in your own browser.

How is this better than an Excel or Word template?

No broken formulas, alignment or VAT maths. Totals are always right and every quote looks consistent.

Can I save and track my quotes?

This page only creates PDFs. To save, number, send as a link and follow up your quotes, open a free Tekliva account.

Is there free quoting software?

Yes, this page. It runs in your browser with no install or sign-up. Add your logo and line items and download a PDF with VAT and totals calculated.

What should a quote include?

A title and quote number, your company and customer details, line items with quantity, unit and unit price, discounts and VAT, totals, what is included and excluded, payment and delivery terms and a validity date. This generator covers all of them.

Do I need to download a quote template?

No. Instead of downloading a Word or Excel template, fill in the form; the layout, calculations and PDF are done for you.

How do I make a quote online?

On this page, enter your company and your customer, add products from the catalog or type your own line items, then set quantity and unit price. VAT, discounts and totals are calculated instantly; download the PDF and send it by email or WhatsApp. No sign-up needed.

What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?

A quote is a fixed price for a defined scope, usually valid for a set number of days. An estimate is an approximate cost that can change. Use this generator for quotes; add a validity period and list what is not included.

How do I know if my quote was opened?

You can't tell when you email a PDF. If you send the quote as a link from a Tekliva account, you get notified when the customer opens it and reminded when it is time to follow up.

Quote tracking

What is Tekliva?

Tekliva (tekliva.com) is a quote and sales follow-up CRM built in Turkey for small businesses that send quotes. It tracks every quote, asks the quote owner a one-tap question when it is time to follow up, updates a hot-warm-cold pipeline and prepares a sales summary for the Monday meeting. The name comes from "teklif", Turkish for quote; it is not related to other software or companies with similar names.

What is quote tracking software?

Software that keeps the status of every quote you send (waiting, in talks, won, lost) in one place and reminds you when it is time to follow up. Its job is to stop unanswered quotes from being forgotten.

How many days after sending a quote should I follow up?

In most industries 3 to 7 days is a reasonable window for the first follow-up. Large projects may need longer. In Tekliva you choose after how many days the follow-up question goes out.

Can I bring over my old quotes from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Import your customer and quote lists from Excel, match the columns and merge duplicate companies.

Can I write quotes in Tekliva?

Yes. Itemised quotes, VAT, total or per-line discounts, a PDF with your logo and a link to send to your customer are all built in. Every quote you create lands in your tracking list automatically.

Which industries is it for?

Any small or mid-sized business that sends quotes: HVAC and mechanical contractors, electrical, renovation, furniture, machinery, engineering and service companies.

Does it cost anything?

During early access every plan is free. We do not ask for a credit card to sign up.

How do I write a follow-up email for a quote?

Keep it short: mention the quote and when you sent it, ask whether they have questions and suggest a concrete next step. Example: "Hi Sarah, did you have a chance to look at the office air conditioning quote we sent on Tuesday? If anything is unclear, a quick call can sort it out." Our blog has three ready-to-use examples.

Pricing and account

How long is the free period?

Every plan is free throughout early access. We will email our users in advance before any paid plan starts.

Do I need a credit card?

No. We don't ask for payment details to sign up or use Tekliva.

Can I bring my old data?

Yes. Import customer and quote lists from Excel, match the columns and merge duplicate companies.

Is it only for one industry?

No. It is built for any small business that sends quotes: HVAC, electrical, mechanical contracting, furniture, machinery and service companies.

Is my data safe?

Each company's data is kept separate and is visible only to that company's users. Details are in our privacy policy.
