Quote it from the truck, invoice it before you leave the driveway.

• 80%¹

  Getting paid is the job after the job

  80% of New Brunswick contractors report late payments, and half of those say it is frequent or constant. A quote the client approved and an invoice with a pay button remove the argument.

• 29 days²

  A month between the work and the money

  Canadian small businesses wait 29.0 days from issuing an invoice to being paid, and 11.3 days past the due date. Invoices that go out the same day start the clock earlier.

• 1 hour³

  The first to answer usually wins

  More than 55% of home-service customers expect an answer in under an hour, and 28% expect one immediately. A request form and a chat that takes the details mean the lead is captured while you are under a sink.

   Change orders the client signs off on

   Above your own threshold, an invoice can offer a pre-authorized bank debit (ACSS) instead of a card, without leaving the invoice.

Do you do scheduling for a crew, GPS or job costing?

No. There is no dispatch board, no GPS tracking and no time tracking. If you run five trucks you probably want Jobber. DeMark fits a one- or two-person shop that wants quotes, invoices and payments without a per-user bill.

Is the price in Canadian dollars?

Yes, and it stays there. Most of the tools in this category bill in US dollars, so the exchange rate quietly moves your bill every month.

Can a client accept a quote on their phone?

Yes. The quote link opens in any browser, and accepting it is one button. You get an email the moment they do.

What about deposits before starting a job?

Yes. A quote can require a signature and a deposit; once the client signs, the deposit invoice goes out on its own, and the rest is invoiced when the job is done.

Does it work in French?

The whole product does — quotes, invoices, reminders and the booking page. You pick the language per client.
