Estimates

Quote fast, convert in one click.

Helm Estimates is the quoting app inside the Helm platform. Build line-item quotes for clients, track accept/decline status, export branded PDFs, and convert accepted estimates to invoices in one click. Estimates live on the same records as the deal, the project, and the bill, so a signed quote already knows what comes next.

What's Inside

Everything you need to run estimates.

Built into the platform. No add-ons, no integrations, no per-feature pricing.

Line-item estimates

Scope work with descriptions, quantities, and rates. Add tax. Review totals before you send.

Accept, decline, or negotiate

Clients review and accept (or decline) the quote. Status updates on the estimate record and fires downstream workflows.

Convert to invoice in one click

An accepted estimate becomes an invoice with a single action. Line items carry over. No re-keying, no copy-paste errors.

Branded PDF export

Every estimate exports as a branded PDF you can attach to an email or share by link. Your logo, your colors, your terms.

Tied to the account and deal

Estimates belong to an account. Surface them on the deal in the sales pipeline. Full history of what was quoted to whom.

Agent-drafted scopes

Sales agents can draft estimate line items from scope documents and historic deal patterns. Review the draft, adjust, and send.

How it connects

Wired into every other app by default.

Set Estimates up once. The rest of the platform uses it forever. One data layer, no sync, no glue scripts.

How it works

Quote accurately. Convert without friction.

Build a line-item estimate for a client account. Add tax. Export a branded PDF or share a public link. The client reviews and accepts. The accepted estimate converts to an invoice in one click. Line items, rates, and totals carry over.

Connected by default

Scope, quote, bill. Same records.

Every estimate belongs to an account. Attach it to a deal and acceptance progresses the sales pipeline. Pair it with a SOW in Documents so the pricing and the scope travel together. When the work finishes, the invoice lands on the same account that signed the quote.

Built for AI agents

Agents draft the first pass.

Sales agents can draft estimate line items from scope documents, past deals, and project history. Content Strategist agents can pair the estimate with a SOW. You review the draft, tune the numbers, and send.

Before / After

The difference an integrated estimates makes.

Without Helm

Quotes live in Google Docs or a spreadsheet. Accepting an estimate means emailing it back. Building the invoice means re-typing the same line items into a different tool. The accepted quote and the eventual bill never reconcile automatically.

With Helm

Line-item estimate built in the same system as the invoice. Client accepts. One click turns it into the bill. The deal, the project, and the account all know what was quoted and what was delivered.

FAQ

Questions about Estimates.

How does Helm Estimates differ from Proposify, PandaDoc, or a Google Doc?

Standalone proposal tools don't know about your deals, your projects, or your invoices. Helm Estimates lives on the same account as the deal and the eventual bill, so accepting a quote isn't a dead-end document. It's a signal that progresses the pipeline and becomes the invoice.

Is e-signature supported?

Not today. Clients accept or decline estimates through the public link UI. E-signature integration is on the roadmap.

Can estimates become invoices automatically?

One-click conversion is built in. Full auto-convert on acceptance is configurable via a workflow, with the invoice landing as a draft for review before it sends.

Is multi-currency supported?

Not today. Estimates use a single workspace currency. Multi-currency is on the roadmap and will apply consistently across estimates, invoices, and reports.

Can I use templates for repeat quotes?

Template-style estimate lines aren't a dedicated feature yet. Today, duplicate a prior estimate to reuse its structure. A proper template library is on the roadmap.
