About This Automation

Site survey and system quoting requires a field visit, manual measurement notes, and hand-built pricing before a customer ever sees a proposal. Because pricing depends on a technician's notes and a rep's manual calculations, quotes take days and pricing errors are common.

The automated version qualifies requests, books the survey, and turns uploaded site photos and notes into a priced, formatted quote ready for review. Quotes go out faster with consistent pricing and less back and forth between the field and the office.

Key features:
Qualifies inbound quote requests against service area and job type rules automatically
Books site surveys directly onto the technician's calendar without manual back and forth
Reads uploaded survey photos and notes to identify equipment and labor requirements
Calculates equipment counts, cable runs, and labor hours from survey documentation
Formats a customer-ready quote for manager review before it goes out
Sends approved quotes and logs status and follow-up reminders in the CRM

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Quote Request Submittedtrigger

A new lead fills out the quote request form and the record lands.

2. Survey Scheduling Qualifies Lead

The automation checks service area rules and confirms the job fits the company's install types.

3. Book Site Visit

The automation finds the nearest available technician slot and books it, sending the customer a confirmation.

4. Conduct Site Survey

The field technician still visits the property, takes measurements, and photographs install locations.

5. Quote Generation Drafts Pricing

The automation reads the survey photos and notes, builds the equipment list and labor hours, and drafts the quote.

6. Sales Manager Reviews Exception Pricing

If the quote falls outside standard margin rules, the manager reviews and adjusts pricing before it proceeds.

7. Send Quote

The finished quote is emailed to the customer automatically once approved.

8. Log Quote

The quote status and follow-up reminder are logged automatically against the customer record.
