On-Site Quoting & Estimating

Q: Does a technician still need to visit the property?

Yes, a technician still walks the property and records inspection details; the automation takes over once that information is captured.

Q: Will this work with the tools our pest control business already uses?

It is built to connect with common scheduling, accounting, CRM, and spreadsheet tools already used in pest control businesses.

Q: What happens if a quote needs manager approval?

Larger or unusual jobs can still be routed to a manager for a quick review before the quote goes to the customer.

Q: Can this handle follow-up if a customer does not respond?

Yes, unanswered quotes are tracked automatically and a follow-up message goes out without manual checking.

Convert on-site pest assessments into accurate, branded quotes that reach customers the same day the technician visits.

About This Automation

On-site quoting for pest control involves scheduling an inspection, gathering property details in the field, then rebuilding that information into a priced treatment plan and quote back at the office.

An automated version connects customer history, scheduling, and the technician's inspection notes directly into a priced quote document. The result is a faster, more consistent quote that reaches the customer the same day the inspection happens.

Key features:

Pulls customer history and outstanding balances automatically before a visit is booked

Books the technician's site visit without manual calendar checking

Converts on-site inspection notes into a priced treatment plan using standard pricing rules

Formats a customer-facing quote document without manual rebuilding in a spreadsheet

Tracks whether a sent quote has been opened or responded to

Sends automatic follow-up messages on quotes that go unanswered
