Appliances & equipment
Sell the machine, the install, and the cover
Commercial equipment sales involve more than unit pricing—they require delivery, professional installation, extended warranty cover, and scheduled service plans. TackQuote quotes the complete solution in a single unified proposal.
Why general-purpose quote tools fail in appliances & equipment
Equipment dealers and commercial appliance distributors frequently miss out on high-margin service and warranty revenue because attachments are quoted as separate line items or forgotten during fast sales cycles.
TackQuote solves this by bundling main equipment units with mandatory installation services and optional service plans into pre-configured quote templates. Capital buyers benefit from structured approval routing and PO enforcement, while sellers secure long-term recurring service contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about quoting for appliances & equipment
How do we ensure reps never forget to quote installation or maintenance?
TackQuote CPQ bundles allow you to define required child items (e.g. Standard Freight + On-site Installation) that automatically attach whenever a main equipment unit is added.
Can capital equipment buyers pay a deposit first and the rest on Net-60 terms?
Yes. TackQuote allows multi-stage payment terms where an initial deposit is collected via card/ACH upon signature, and the balance is billed under Net-30 or Net-60 terms.
How does TackQuote sync equipment sales with our accounting software?
When a quote is accepted, TackQuote automatically creates draft or final invoices in Xero, QuickBooks Online, or NetSuite, mapping line items to correct revenue accounts.
