Account Setup
Once you've installed Sortinal and created your account, set up your business so your quotes and invoices look professional from day one.
Create a business
After your first sign-in, Sortinal asks you to create a business. You'll need:
- Business name — your trading or registered name
- ABN — shown on invoices and quotes
- ARC licence number — your refrigerant handling licence
- Phone & email — your business contact details
- Address — your business or postal address
All of this appears on your generated documents. You can change it later in Settings → Business Profile.
Set up quoting defaults
Head to Settings → Quote Defaults to configure:
- Quote numbering — prefix and starting number (e.g. QTE-001)
- Expiry period — how many days before a quote expires
- Terms & conditions — your standard T&Cs, printed on every quote
- Warranty terms — warranty text for the equipment and labour
Configure pricing
Go to Settings → Equipment & Pricing to set up:
- Profit margins — default markup on equipment and materials
- Labour rates — per-hour rates for your team
- Installation extras — trunking, electrical, pipe coils, mounting brackets
- Electrical settings — isolator pricing, cable rates
Invite staff
If you have a team, go to Settings → Staff & Labour Costs:
- Tap + Add Staff Member.
- Enter their name, email, and hourly rate.
- Choose their role — Admin, Technician, or custom.
- Set permissions — control what they can see and do (jobs, quotes, invoices, stock, etc.).
- They'll receive an email invite to join your business in Sortinal.
Owners and Admins see everything by default. Technicians see only what you allow.
