TrimBid prices the job, picks the right materials, and sends your customer a quote they can approve from their phone. Then it tracks the work to done.
A real quote — priced, margin-checked, and ready to send in about a minute.
Choose the piece — boat seat, dining chair, headboard, custom. TrimBid fills in typical yardage and labor so you start from a real number.
Materials, labor, supplies, and your margin — added up for you, with a heads-up if your rate is too low to make money.
Send a clean quote your customer approves with one tap. It lands on your jobs board and calendar, tracked to done.
Built for how upholsterers actually work: on a phone, on the shop floor, between jobs.
Yardage, labor, materials, and profit margin calculated for you — so you stop quoting from your gut and stop leaving money on the table.
Price any vinyl, foam, or thread on the quote — type your own local prices or pull from a starter list. New shops buy local; TrimBid never gets in the way.
Send a tidy quote with a link. Your customer taps Accept from their phone — no printing, no "did you get my email?", no back-and-forth.
Every quote becomes a tracked job: quoted → approved → in the shop → ready. See what's due this week at a glance.
Track what's on the shelf with low-stock flags, and save the vinyls, foams, and threads you actually use so they're one tap away.
Attach before/after photos to a job, and get a public page customers can request quotes from — your name, your brand, not ours.
The first 50 shops lock founding pricing — for life. No contracts, cancel anytime.
Hard-won lessons that save callbacks and reupholstery. A taste — the full list is free to read, no signup.
One-person shop or training your first crew — TrimBid puts quoting, materials, and job tracking in one place built for the trade, not for an office.
Yes. Quoting, the customer-facing estimate, and approvals are free forever — no card, no trial clock. Pro adds saved jobs, photos, inventory, and your public request page. We make money when a shop grows into Pro, not by holding your quotes hostage.
It's built alongside a real, working upholstery-supply business — people who cut vinyl and ship thread every day. The tips and the quoting math come from the shop floor, not a marketing team.
No. TrimBid suggests materials and lets you order in a tap if you want, but you can save your own suppliers and prices. The quoting tool works no matter where you buy.
Your quotes and customers are yours. Print or save any quote to PDF anytime, and ask for a full export whenever you want. Cancel and your data goes with you.
It's tied to an ongoing business, not a weekend project — and it's already live and in use. The roadmap (the Max tier) is funded by Pro subscriptions, so paying shops directly steer what gets built next.
Start free in under a minute — or drop your email and we'll send founding-member news and a heads-up when Max goes live.
