Estimates are very useful in understanding what the client’s requirement is and sending him an overview of the kind of budget he needs to have for the product or the service. It helps you in getting cost approvals from the client or getting his views on the same before the final approvals. Estimates are very important while you are invoicing clients online.

Here is how you can easily create online estimates and mail them to your clients.

Go to the Estimate Management Section: Login to your Invoicera account and go to the ‘Estimate’ drop-down option on the ‘Billing’ tab.
