I’ve already sent my quote. Do I need to respond in Programa?
If you’ve emailed your quote directly to the studio, they may have received it outside Programa. However, an email reply does not submit a quote response in Programa, so the request may still appear outstanding.
Why has the studio requested a quote through Programa?
The studio uses Programa to manage product information in its project schedules. When you send your quote separately by email, the designer needs to manually enter your pricing and product details.
Completing those fields in Programa lets the designer review and accept your information directly into their schedule, reducing manual entry and helping the project move forward.
Responding promptly with complete details makes your quote easier to review and your business easier to work with.
Can I attach my usual PDF quote?
Yes. You can attach your PDF to keep the full quote context together in Programa. However, a PDF attachment does not populate the product or pricing fields. If those fields aren’t completed, the designer still needs to enter the information manually.
For the most efficient experience, complete the product details, pricing and lead times in Programa, and attach your PDF as supporting information.
How do I respond through Programa?
Open the original quote-request email and select Respond to Quote.
If you land on a project page, select Start Quoting.
Complete the requested product details, pricing and lead times. All product prices must exclude tax - for Australian suppliers, this means excluding GST.
Attach your PDF quote or other supporting documents, if applicable.
Select Review and send, check your response, then select Send to designer.
You don’t need a Programa account or existing Product Library to respond. See Responding to a quote request without an account for the full walkthrough.
