About The Aluminium Pro
What is The Aluminium Pro?
The Aluminium Pro is a quotation app for aluminium and glass fabricators in Pakistan: it prices windows, doors, arches, kitchen cabinets and 12 mm glass shop fronts on a phone and turns them into PDF quotations. It carries the aluminium rate list, makes the customer quotation, the material list and the cutting list, works offline, and shares every PDF on WhatsApp.
Who is The Aluminium Pro for?
The Aluminium Pro is for aluminium and glass shops and fabricators in Pakistan: the owner who prices the jobs, whoever measures on site, and the workshop that cuts and fits. A one-person shop uses it on one phone; a bigger shop signs in on every phone, and they all see the same quotations, customers and payments.
What problem does The Aluminium Pro solve?
The Aluminium Pro ends the evening spent with a notebook and a calculator: the glass, the aluminium, the hardware, the labour and the total of a job are worked out as soon as its sizes are typed. That means fewer mistakes before the glass is cut, a finished bill that keeps its rates, and a quotation the customer gets the same day, on WhatsApp.
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 The Aluminium Pro easy to use?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro is built to be simple: tap a picture of the design, type the sizes on the app’s own number pad, and the price shows as you type. Each item type gets its own video guide as its video is added, and the free trial is the easiest way to try it on your own jobs.
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.
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.
Who makes The Aluminium Pro?
The Aluminium Pro is made in Pakistan by Avezea, a software studio, for the country’s aluminium and glass fabricators. Questions are answered on WhatsApp at 0317 7880059 and by email at mahsan7861100@gmail.com.
Pricing a job
Which items can I price with The Aluminium Pro?
The Aluminium Pro prices 12 mm glass shop fronts, sliding windows of 2, 3 or 4 palla, corner windows, openable windows, fixed glass, arches, doors, single slide doors, kitchen cabinets and panels on their own. Everything except the shop front can go on one quotation, each item with its own price, price per sq ft and quantity, picked from galleries of 130+ designs.
How do I make an aluminium window quotation on my phone?
With The Aluminium Pro, choose the aluminium and glass for the job, tap a window design, type its width and height, and tap the tick: the quotation is priced, numbered and ready as a PDF. Add as many windows, doors and other items as the job needs; the total shows as you go, and the PDF can go on WhatsApp straight away.
How do I price a 12 mm glass shop front?
In The Aluminium Pro, pick one of 9 shop front designs and type the front and door sizes: the app gives the price, the price per sq ft and four PDFs. The four PDFs are the customer bill, the workshop cutting list, the supplier material list and the glass sheet; only the customer bill shows money.
Can The Aluminium Pro price corner windows, openable windows and kitchen cabinets?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro prices corner windows (around one corner or two), openable windows (columns of opening panels), kitchen cabinets, single slide doors and panels on their own. Each has its own gallery of designs and goes on the same quotation as your windows, with its own price.
Can I add doors, arches and fixed glass to a window quotation?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro puts doors, arches and fixed glass on the same quotation as the windows, each with its own price and price per sq ft. Doors can be single or double, with a kick plate, with fixed glass around them or under an arch; arches can be a half circle, a tall arch or an arch on a box.
Can I bill the aluminium by actual size, half stand or full stand?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro bills a window quotation’s aluminium by actual size, half stand or full stand, whichever your shop charges by. You choose it in the running bill; the bars to buy and the cutting list are worked out for you.
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.
Can I add a discount, transport and extras?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro takes a discount on the aluminium in percent and rupees off the whole bill, before or after the quotation is made. Transport, silicone and extras go on the bill under your own names.
The rate list and your rates
Does The Aluminium Pro include the aluminium rate list?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro has the aluminium rate list built in, by section, gauge and colour, for 18 aluminium companies, with Ghani Glass rates per sq ft. A new rate list reaches every phone, and you can open or download the list itself in Settings, even offline.
Which aluminium companies’ rates does it have?
The Aluminium Pro has the rates of 18 aluminium companies: Chawla, Prime, Premium, Standard, Primax, Al Fatah, Diamond, Pak Almax, Falcon, Eagle, BT, Ittehad, Pak Altech, Super, Tiger, Sanopak, MCO and Shaheen. Bar rates go by section, gauge (0.9, 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 mm) and colour, and each company gives its own discount for each gauge.
Can I price glass from Tariq Glass or another company?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro lets you type your own glass rate per sq ft for any company, though only Ghani Glass rates are built in, by thickness, ref (reflective) or plain, and colour. For Tariq Glass or another company, ask on WhatsApp to have it added; until then the quotation names the glass as Ghani.
Can I use my own rates?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro lets you set your own glass, labour and hardware rates, and change them for one quotation only. Bar rates come from the built-in rate list, and a finished quotation keeps the rates it was priced on, so changing a rate never rewrites an old bill.
Offline, PDFs and WhatsApp
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.
Do I ever need to go online?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro needs a connection now and then: to sign in, for your first PDF, to back up and pay, and every few days to check your package. A new phone must also go online once after you sign in. Make your first PDF with a connection, so the phone saves the PDF maker (an app update can need this again). After a few days with no connection — the app tells you how many — a new quotation waits until you connect; the quotations you have already made always stay open, to download and share.
Can I download the quotation PDF or send it on WhatsApp?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro makes every PDF on your phone, so you can download it, print it or send it on WhatsApp the moment the quotation is made. Make your first PDF with a connection, so the phone saves the PDF maker (and again after some app updates); after that, PDFs work with no signal too.
Will my shop’s name be on the documents?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro puts your shop name, address, phone and one photo or logo at the top of every document a customer receives.
Your data and your phones
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.
What happens if I lose my phone?
If you lose your phone, sign in to The Aluminium Pro on a new one and the quotations you finished come back to it. Every finished quotation is copied to your account when the phone next has a connection.
Can more than one phone use my account?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro works on every phone you sign in on, and they all show the same quotations, customers and payments. Two phones never give two quotations the same number.
Price, packages and payment
How much does The Aluminium Pro cost?
The Aluminium Pro starts with a free trial of 2 days and 5 quotations, with no card needed. Then you choose a package, paid in whole rupees: monthly, or for 3 months at a lower price a month when that is offered. Each package has its own quotation limit for its whole period, and the Pricing page shows today’s prices and limits. Every package has every kind of job, every PDF and offline use.
Can I create an account immediately?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro lets you create an account instantly with Google or email and add your shop details. The free trial starts after a short countdown, and a paid package opens once your payment screenshot has been checked and approved.
How do I pay for The Aluminium Pro?
The Aluminium Pro is paid by SadaPay or Easypaisa: send the amount to the account shown in the app, then upload a screenshot of the payment. Your package opens as soon as the payment is approved.
Will I be charged automatically?
No, The Aluminium Pro never charges you automatically: there is no card on file, and a package does not renew by itself. You are reminded before it ends, and you decide whether to renew.
Does a big quotation use more of my package?
No, The Aluminium Pro counts a quotation once, however many windows, doors or other items it holds, and however many of each. Giving a discount after it is made does not count again either.
What does a referral or promo code do?
In The Aluminium Pro, a referral or promo code takes a flat amount off an account’s first payment, for any package and period. A promotion can take a different amount off a 3-month package than off a monthly one. Codes are 6 to 25 letters and digits, typed in the app at checkout, and another shop’s referral code takes Rs 100 off. A code can carry the details of whoever gave it out — a name, a few lines, a phone number, an address, a picture — and the app shows them with “You got this discount because of …”, with the price after the discount, before you pay. A promotion may run for a few days only. You can try a promotion or a recent referral code on the Pricing page first.
Can I earn credit by referring another shop?
Yes, The Aluminium Pro gives you Rs 100 in credit when a shop you referred pays for its first package and the payment is approved, and that shop takes Rs 100 off. Your code is in Settings → Referrals; the credit comes off your next payable order, for up to 3 referred shops per code.
