How is The Aluminium Pro different from a spreadsheet or a calculator?
The Aluminium Pro already knows aluminium and glass work, so you type only the sizes: the designs, the rate list, the glass and the hardware are built in. A spreadsheet has to be built and checked by you, and a calculator gives one number at a time; The Aluminium Pro gives the whole priced quotation, the material list and the cutting list, ready to send.
Is my data safe and backed up?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro keeps your quotations on your phone and copies every finished quotation to your account whenever you are online, so a lost or broken phone does not lose your work. Your customers and payments are kept in your account too, and come back when you sign in on a new phone.
Is there an app to download?
No, The Aluminium Pro needs nothing from an app store: open it in Chrome on Android or Safari on iPhone and add it to your home screen. It then opens full-screen from its own icon like any other app, works offline, and also runs in a laptop browser.
Does it work without internet?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro works without internet: pricing a job, making the quotation, making the PDFs and sharing them all happen on your phone. A connection is needed to sign in, for a new phone’s first start, to back up and sync, to pay for a package, for your first PDF (which saves the PDF maker on the phone), and every few days to check your package — the app tells you how many; until then a new quotation waits, and the ones already made stay open.
Which documents does The Aluminium Pro make?
The Aluminium Pro makes four PDFs for every quotation: the customer’s quotation, the material list for the supplier, the cutting list for the workshop and a glass sheet for the glass cutter. Only the customer’s document shows money; a window quotation also draws every design large, and a shop front’s papers carry a to-scale drawing of the front.
Is The Aluminium Pro available in Urdu?
Not yet, The Aluminium Pro and this website are in English only for now. Sizes use the inch notation shops already call out on site.
