About This Automation

Preparing an estimate for parts and installation work involves checking stock, pulling pricing, calculating labor and materials, and waiting on manager sign-off before anything reaches the customer. Each handoff adds delay, and stock or pricing data that is out of date can lead to inaccurate quotes.

The automated version pulls live stock and pricing data, builds the cost basis automatically, and routes only the estimates that need review to a manager. Customers receive accurate quotes faster, and staff spend less time chasing numbers across spreadsheets and inboxes.

Key features
Pulls current stock levels and pricing automatically instead of relying on static spreadsheets
Calculates labor, materials, and margin using consistent pricing rules
Formats a customer-ready estimate document without manual copying
Routes only estimates above a set threshold for manager approval
Sends approved quotes to customers automatically
Tracks follow-up on quotes that have gone quiet and logs the final outcome
