About This Automation

Estimating and quoting for custom carpentry work involves manual site measurements, spreadsheet calculations, and back and forth supplier calls before a price ever reaches the customer.

The automated version captures inquiries, books site visits, and turns measurement data into a priced quote using current supplier costs. Quotes reach customers faster, follow-up happens on its own, and lead status stays current without extra data entry.

Key features
Captures new inquiries automatically and creates matching lead records
Schedules site visits based on estimator availability
Calculates material and labor costs using current supplier pricing
Generates formatted quotes ready for final review
Sends follow-up reminders on quotes that go unanswered
Updates lead status automatically based on customer replies
