On-Site Quoting & Estimating

Q: Can the automation handle different facility types and service packages?

Yes, automation applies different pricing rules and labor calculations based on facility type, square footage, and service complexity, maintaining consistency across all quotes.

Q: Will existing quote data and client information transfer to the automated system?

Historical quote data and client records can be imported into the CRM and spreadsheet system during setup, preserving your pricing history and client relationships.

Q: What if a quote needs to be manually adjusted after automation generates it?

Reps can review and edit any quote before sending, allowing for one-off discounts or special terms while maintaining the baseline automated calculation.

Q: How does the system remind reps to follow up on quotes that clients haven't responded to?

Automation tracks quote send dates and triggers notifications to reps after a configurable number of days without response, ensuring no leads fall through the cracks.

Convert on-site measurements and scope notes into a priced, branded quote and get it to the prospect before a competitor does.

Validate all required information before returning to the office

Generate formatted, branded quote documents in seconds

Track quote status and trigger follow-up reminders automatically

Ensure pricing consistency across all quotes and reps
