How it happens
The quote is signed in March, work starts in April, it drags, another job jumps the queue. By June everyone has moved on. A client doesn't chase an invoice they never received.
What it costs
A forgotten signed quote at €4,000 is €4,000 of work already paid for in materials and hours that will never come back. One occurrence a year wipes out the margin of several jobs.
The only remedy that works
A list comparing SIGNED quotes with ISSUED invoices and flagging the gap. It isn't a matter of memory or discipline: nobody holds ten parallel files in their head.
In Nexap
The Diagnostic screen surfaces signed quotes with no invoice, with the amount. It's often the first finding a tradesperson gets — and the most profitable.
