About This Automation

Estimating and quoting in roofing requires measuring sites, researching material costs, and manually assembling quotes into branded documents. Manual quote creation consumes 90+ minutes per job and introduces pricing errors, delays, and poor visibility into quote status.

Automation captures site data once, calculates pricing automatically from live supplier costs, generates branded PDFs instantly, and tracks quote status in real time. Estimators spend per quote instead of 90, and can prepare three times as many quotes weekly.

Key features
Capture site measurements and conditions once, then reuse data across all quote calculations
Calculate material costs, labour hours, and margins automatically from current supplier prices
Generate branded, professional PDF quotes in seconds with zero manual typing
Send quotes to customers with tracking and automated follow-up reminders
Track quote status in real time and see which quotes have been opened by customers
Eliminate manual spreadsheet updates and keep all quote history in one searchable system

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Estimator Submits Site Datatrigger

Estimator enters measurements, material type, and customer details into a mobile form or web intake. The data is captured once and stored centrally.

2. Fetch Current Material Costs

The automation platform queries the supplier price list and retrieves the latest costs for shingles, underlayment, flashing, and labour rates.

3. Calculate Quote with Margins

The automation calculates total material cost, labour hours, overhead, and applies the company margin. The final price is generated automatically.

4. Generate PDF Quote

The automation creates a branded PDF quote document using the customer name, address, measurements, material list, and calculated price. The PDF is stored and ready to send.

5. Send Quote

The quote PDF is automatically emailed to the customer with a personalized cover message. The email is logged and timestamped.

6. Log Quote

Quote details (customer, amount, date sent, job address) are automatically recorded. A deal record is created and linked to the contact.

7. Set Automated Follow-Up Reminder

A follow-up task is automatically scheduled for 4 days after the quote is sent. If no response is received, a reminder email is triggered.

8. Notify Estimator

The estimator receives a notification confirming the quote has been sent, with a link deal for tracking customer engagement.
