About This Automation

Estimating and quoting turns a raw lead into a priced proposal through manual measurement entry, spreadsheet calculations, and document formatting. Each handoff between the field, the office, and management introduces delay and room for pricing error.

The automated version turns site measurements directly into a formatted, rule-based quote, routes it for review, and sends it to the customer without manual re-entry. Unanswered quotes are chased on a fixed schedule and outcomes are recorded automatically.

Key features

Converts on-site measurements into priced quotes using standard pricing rules.
Formats quote documents automatically for consistent presentation.
Routes finished quotes for review before they reach the customer.
Sends approved quotes and tracks delivery automatically.
Follows up on unanswered quotes on a fixed schedule and logs outcomes.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Lead Captured And Loggedtrigger

A new lead from the website, phone, or referral is captured and automatically logged as a job.

2. Schedule Site Visit Automatically

The automation checks the estimator's for open slots and books the site visit, sending a confirmation to the customer.

3. Measure Job On-Site

The estimator visits the property and enters measurements and notes directly mobile app.

4. Calculate Materials & Labor Automatically

Recorded measurements feed a pricing model that computes paint quantities, labor hours, and margin.

5. Draft Quote Document

The automation generates a formatted, priced quote ready for review or sending.

6. Notify Estimator For High-Value Review

Jobs over a set dollar threshold trigger a alert to the estimator with a link to the draft quote.

7. Send Quote To Customer

Once approved or auto-cleared, the quote is emailed to the customer as a PDF.

8. Follow Up On Pending Quotes

If the quote is unanswered after three days, the automation sends a reminder email and updates the quote status.
