From estimate to invoice.
CGH QuoteDesk is taking shape as a focused Windows application for small service businesses and independent contractors. Its 0.1.0 private evaluation candidate brings estimates and invoices together while keeping business data on the user’s device by default.
A business can set up its identity and branding, maintain customers and a catalog, prepare estimates with revisions and expiration dates, and record customer decisions. An accepted estimate can become an invoice, with duplicate-conversion prevention. Recorded decisions are manual business records, not verified electronic signatures.
Follow the document through the job
The implemented workflow includes issued invoice snapshots, deposits, partial and final payment records, branded PDF documents, CSV exports and complete backup and restore. Payment recording does not process money or connect to a payment service.
The first version is scoped to one trusted Windows user and business, U.S. English and U.S. dollars. Refunds, credits and payment reversals are outside this candidate. It requires no cloud account, mandatory subscription or external AI service. Updates are currently manual.
Private evaluation before commercial availability
The October 26 acceptance record documents 16 passing core tests and 11 desktop workflow groups, including installed standard-user checks in Windows Sandbox. Recovery, backup validation, retained records after reinstall and long PDF output were also examined using fictional records.
The packages remain unsigned. Human Narrator and high-contrast review, additional native display scaling, independent hardware acceptance, final commercial terms and signing remain open. Microsoft Store submission and public download availability are not being announced. Businesses can contact CGH to discuss the estimating and invoicing tasks they want the product to support.
