About This Automation On-site repair quoting requires technicians to inspect pools, manually document findings, calculate costs, and draft quotes. Manual data entry, pricing lookups, and calculations consume per quote and introduce errors.
Automated quoting reads inspection data, applies pricing rules, calculates labour and materials instantly, and generates professional PDF quotes. Technicians spend only on manager review instead of per quote.
Key features:
Capture inspection data through a mobile-friendly form that technicians complete on site Apply consistent pricing rules and labour rates automatically to every quote Calculate labour hours, material costs, tax, and markup without manual spreadsheet work Generate branded PDF quotes with customer details and line items in seconds Track quote status and customer engagement in your CRM automatically Reduce quote turnaround from 1-3 days to same-day delivery Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process
