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.
