Quoting in Fergus Go

Learn how to Quote on site with the Fergus Go mobile app.

Overview

The Fergus Go app simplifies the process of creating quotes on the move. After you set up a job in the app that requires a quote, you can choose to generate the quote immediately or at a later time.

How to Create a Quick Quote in Fergus Go

The Quote creation page is made up of:

  • The quote status (i.e. Draft or Published, and whether it has been sent or not to the customer)

  • The title and description

  • The section title and description

  • The line items

  • The totals

Simply tap on the Title and Description or Section headers to edit their details.

Adding Sections

Tap Add new section at the bottom of the quote. This button always sits below all existing content. You'll be prompted to choose:

  • Empty section — enter a section title (required) and an optional description, then tap Add

  • From favourites — add a pre-built scope of work from your favourites (see below)

Once a section is created, tap Add a line item within that section to add items.

Adding Line Items

Tap the "Add a line item" button to search for items. From here, you can filter by different suppliers and create custom line items. Note: custom line items created this way are added to the quote only, and they are not saved to your Custom Price Book.

Using Favourites

You can access your favourites in two ways:

As a section — Tap Add new section → From favourites. Browse your folders and subfolders, tap on a favourite to open it, adjust the quantities of each line item if needed, then tap Add as section to add the whole scope of work to your quote at once.

As individual line items: Tap Add a line item within a section, then tap the Favourites tab. Browse your folders to find individual items and tap Add to add them one at a time.

In both cases, you can also search for a favourite by name using the search bar — without navigating through folders. The matching favourite will appear at the top of the search results.

Editing Combined Line Items

You can now edit combined line items directly in Fergus Go. Tap on a combined line item to:

  • Edit the combined item name

  • Adjust quantities

  • Uncombine the line items

  • Delete the combined item

Tap on an individual item within the combined group to edit the finer details -including item name, sales account code, quantity, unit cost, sell price, markup, tax, and discount.

Quote Options and Nested Sections

You can build quotes with multiple section types in Fergus Go, just like on desktop. This includes fixed sections, multiple choice sections, and nested subsections - giving your customer options to choose from directly on the quote.

Please note: section reordering is not available on mobile - to reorder sections, use Fergus on desktop.

Preview, Save & Publish

Once you've built your quote, you can:

  • Preview the quote before sending

  • Save as Draft to come back to it later

  • Duplicate the version

  • Publish the quote to email directly to the customer while on the go
