The problem

AV jobs should not live in five different files.

Spreadsheets can start a quote, accounting tools can send an invoice, and notes can help the warehouse. The mess begins when revisions, approvals, PDFs, client records, rental counts, and pull sheets stop matching each other.

Built around the full AV job workflow

1

Quote Builder

Build organized AV quotes with rooms, categories, rental days, labor, delivery, tax, discounts, deposits, notes, and terms.

2

Quote to Invoice

Convert approved quotes into invoices so the paid job and the production paperwork stay connected.

3

Email & PDF Documents

Preview, print, save, and email polished quote and invoice PDFs with your company branding.

4

Invoice Pull Sheets

Create final warehouse pull sheets from invoices, with load-in, warehouse out, warehouse in, source, and notes.

5

Item Library

Save gear, labor, services, rates, rental status, inventory counts, and sub-rental sources. Import and export CSV lists.

6

Client Database

Store companies, contacts, emails, phone numbers, addresses, and quote history so repeat jobs start faster.

7

Revisions & Templates

Keep revision history, duplicate past jobs, and save reusable templates instead of starting from a blank file every time.

8

Reports

Track workspace activity across quotes, invoices, clients, and document opens so the business side is easier to review.

9

Team Workspace

Team plans support shared clients, library items, quotes, invoices, assigned work, and admin-controlled settings.

Not accounting software. Not another spreadsheet.

QuickBooks

Great for bookkeeping, but not built for AV line items, revisions, warehouse pull sheets, source tracking, or item libraries.

Excel / Sheets

Flexible at first, then fragile when quotes become invoices, PDFs get emailed, and warehouse sheets need to match.

Common questions about ShowDesk

Is ShowDesk accounting software?

No. ShowDesk helps you create AV quotes and invoices, but it is not a bookkeeping system. You can still use QuickBooks or your accountant for accounting.

Why not just use QuickBooks?

QuickBooks is useful for accounting, but AV jobs often need gear lists, labor, rooms, rental days, revisions, source tracking, branded PDFs, and pull sheets.

Why not just use Excel or Google Sheets?

Sheets work at the beginning, but they can get messy when the quote, invoice, emailed PDF, revision history, client record, and warehouse pull sheet all need to match.

What is the Item Library?

It is your saved list of equipment, labor, delivery, and service items so you can build quotes faster without typing the same gear and rates every time.

How do categories work?

Categories organize quote items and library items, such as Audio, Video, Lighting, Stage / Support, Labor, Delivery, or custom categories you create in Admin.

Can I save clients?

Yes. Pro and Team include the Client Database so you can save company and contact details and reuse them on future quotes. Basic users can still type client info manually.

Can I search saved items, clients, or quotes?

Yes. ShowDesk includes search areas to help you find saved items, clients, and existing quotes faster instead of scrolling through old spreadsheets or files.

Does ShowDesk have quote templates?

ShowDesk is currently focused on saved items, saved clients, and duplicating or reusing quote workflows. Full quote templates are a planned improvement based on beta feedback.

Are quotes saved?

Yes. Quotes are saved in ShowDesk so you can come back later, search them, revise them, export PDFs, and use them as a reference for future jobs.

How do quote revisions work?

ShowDesk is designed to help track revised quotes instead of overwriting everything in a spreadsheet. Approved quotes should be handled carefully, and revisions help keep quote history cleaner.

Can I customize quote numbering?

Yes. Admin settings include quote numbering options so your quote numbers can follow your company style instead of using random file names or spreadsheet copies.

Can I add my company branding?

Yes. Add your company name, logo, contact info, terms, PDF branding, and quote defaults so client-facing PDFs look more professional.

Can I email quote and invoice PDFs?

Yes. ShowDesk includes document email workflows and editable email templates for quote and invoice messages.

What is a pull sheet?

A pull sheet is the internal gear, labor, source, and logistics list used for prep, warehouse, crew, and show execution. Quote pull sheets are previews; final pull sheets come from invoices.

Can I use my own pricing?

Yes. Add your own items, descriptions, rates, categories, tax settings, terms, and company branding. ShowDesk does not force you into a fixed rental catalog.

Who is ShowDesk built for?

ShowDesk is built for AV freelancers, technical directors, production managers, and small AV companies that need quoting to be faster and simpler than large rental software.

What is included in Basic?

Basic is for simple quoting. It includes limited saved quotes and limited library items, but does not include the client database or pull sheets.

What is included in Pro?

Pro is best for most freelancers and small AV companies. It includes unlimited quotes, unlimited library items, the client database, and pull sheets.

What is included in Team?

Team includes Pro features plus team seats so multiple people can help manage quotes, clients, items, and production prep.

Is ShowDesk finished?

ShowDesk is in private beta. Core quoting, invoices, emailed PDFs, library, clients, pull sheets, reporting, and billing are working, and beta feedback will guide what improves next.
