About This Automation
On-site repair quoting requires technicians to inspect appliances, manually transcribe findings, calculate costs, and route quotes through email for approval. This fragmented process introduces data entry errors, delays customer responses, and wastes hours on formatting and follow-up.
Automated quoting captures inspection data directly, generates professional quotes with accurate pricing, routes them for instant approval, and logs everything in the CRM. Customers receive quotes the same day, and the team spends minutes instead of hours per job.
Key features:
Capture inspection data from technicians in the field using mobile forms
Calculate labour and parts costs automatically with configured rates and markups
Generate branded quote documents with company terms and payment instructions
Route quotes to managers for approval with one-click acceptance or rejection
Send approved quotes to customers and track open rates and responses
Log all quotes in your CRM and trigger follow-up reminders after three days

1. Technician Submits Site Inspectiontrigger
Technician completes on-site inspection and submits structured data via mobile form or web interface, capturing appliance details, damage description, labour estimate, and parts list.
2. Extract and Validate Inspection Data
Automation extracts inspection data from the form submission, validates required fields, and checks for data quality issues such as missing appliance model or labour hours.

4. Route Quote for Approval
Automation sends the generated quote to the assigned manager via email or in-app notification with a clear approval link and deadline. Manager can approve, reject, or request changes in one click.
5. Log Quote
Upon manager approval, automation creates a quote record linked to the customer contact, including quote amount, date, and status for pipeline tracking.
6. Send Quote to Customer
Automation sends the approved quote to the customer via email with a personalised cover letter, payment terms, and a link to view or accept the quote online.
