About This Automation

Estimating and quoting turns a raw job inquiry into a priced proposal, requiring material takeoffs, supplier pricing checks, and margin review. Handled manually, this chain of spreadsheet work and email back and forth slows response time and invites pricing errors.

The automated version captures inquiries, assembles takeoffs and draft quotes from scope documents and current pricing, and routes them for approval before sending. The result is faster turnaround, more consistent margins, and less manual rework.

Key features
Capture new job inquiries automatically and route them to the right estimator
Assemble material takeoffs from scope documents and site photos
Pull current supplier pricing into the draft quote without manual emailing
Combine materials, labor, and markup into a client-ready quote document
Flag quotes for margin approval based on risk and workload rules
Track quote status and trigger automatic customer follow-up
