Generate a PDF quote automatically, from your own data
Backhurry lets you generate a PDF quote automatically, from your own database — with no accounting software and no re-quoting.
Design your template once on an A4 page, drop in your fields, and Backhurry produces the numbered PDF for every new client. Your data fills the document — you never retype anything.
7-day trial, no credit card · €9/month, all included · Your data stays yours
Done with quotes retyped by hand
One quote in two is still made in Word or Excel: you duplicate the last client's file, replace the names by hand, hunt for "what number was it again?", miss a line. It works… until the mistake that costs you dearly.
Today, without a tool
- You duplicate an old file and replace the details one by one.
- Numbering is manual: gaps, duplicates, omissions.
- VAT is worked out separately, in a corner of a spreadsheet.
- The quote lives in a folder, cut off from your client tracking.
With Backhurry
- You enter the client once; the quote fills itself in.
- The number increments automatically, with no gap or duplicate.
- Net, VAT and gross are calculated on the document, live.
- Every quote stays linked to its client record and its tracking.

Generate a PDF quote automatically, in 3 steps
Three moves, no more: you design the template, you drop in your variables, Backhurry outputs the numbered PDF. Here is how it works in practice.
Design your template on an A4 page
Open the editor: a real, blank A4 page. Drop in your logo, your contact details, a table, a footer — by drag and drop, with the mouse. You design the quote exactly the way you want, just once.
Drop your data into the template
Where the client's name goes, insert the variable {client.nom}. For the amount, {devis.total_ttc}. For the date, {devis.date}. Each variable pulls the right information from your database: the template becomes a form that fills itself in.
Generate the PDF, numbered and ready to send
On a client record, click "Generate". Backhurry builds the PDF, inserts the real values and assigns the next number (DEV-2026-0088). You send it, print it or share it — without ever retyping a line.
A free-form editor, on a real A4 page
No imposed template. You place each block wherever you want on the page — title, logo, services table, terms, signature. What you see on screen is what comes out as PDF, to the pixel.
- Drag and drop text, image, table and divider blocks.
- Alignment on an A4 grid: clean margins, nothing spilling over.
- Several templates: one for quotes, one for invoices, one for purchase orders.
- Editable anytime: change your logo or a legal notice, and every future PDF follows — with no re-quoting.
Documents that fill themselves in
A variable is a smart blank in your template. You write {client.nom} and Backhurry replaces it, for each quote, with the real name of the linked client. You feed only one place — your database — and all your documents stay up to date.
-
{client.nom}, {client.adresse}, {client.siret}— the linked client's details. -
{devis.numero}, {devis.date}, {devis.validite}— the document's details. -
{devis.total_ht}, {devis.tva}, {devis.total_ttc}— the calculated amounts. -
{entreprise.iban}— your own information, entered once.
Your fields, your names: variables follow the structure you built. If you add a "site reference" field, it becomes an available variable straight away.
- {client.nom}
- {client.siret}
- {devis.numero}
- {devis.total_ttc}
- {entreprise.iban}
Automatic numbering that never skips
Each document type has its own counter. You set a prefix and a number of digits; Backhurry assigns the next number at every generation. No more gaps, no more duplicates, no more "where were we?".
Prefix of your choice — DEV for quotes, FAC for invoices, BC for orders.
Calibrated digits (padding) — 0001, 0002… the length stays constant, everything lines up.
Reliable increment — the counter advances on its own, in order, with no intervention.
You stay in control: yearly reset, custom format, several sequences in parallel. It's your numbering logic, applied automatically.
Line items and VAT that calculate themselves
Add a "Catalogue / line items" field to your quote: you list your services or products, quantity and unit price. Each line total, the net total, the VAT and the gross total are calculated automatically thanks to Backhurry's visual formulas — the same ones that run the rest of your tool.
- Pull from your catalogue: description and price are filled in with one click, or type a free line.
- VAT at whatever rate you want (20%, 10%, 5.5%, 0%…): the net → VAT → gross calculation is instant.
- Discounts, subtotals, deposits: compose your formulas, they stay editable at any time.
Line items draw from a catalogue linked to your inventory, via the Catalogue field (v0.12).
