Quotes

Professional quotes in seconds, not hours

AI builds the quote. You review and send. Customers approve with one tap. No more labour guide lookups, no more phone tag, no more lost leads.

Sound familiar?

Manual quoting is slow, error-prone, and costs you jobs every week. Here's what it actually looks like.

15-30min/quote

Manual quoting kills your day

Every quote means flipping through labour guides, looking up parts, and typing it all in. Multiply that by 10-15 quotes a day and your service advisors are buried.

87%don't convert

Most quotes go nowhere

The industry average quote-to-action rate is just 12.61%. That means nearly 9 out of 10 quotes never become jobs — usually because follow-up falls through the cracks.

35-50%to first responder

Speed wins the job

The first shop to send a quote wins 35-50% of deals. Every extra hour a customer waits tanks your conversion rate by up to 80%.

2-5%margin lost

Quoting errors eat profit

New service advisors underquote labour or miss parts. One wrong estimate turns a profitable job into one that loses money.

80%drop-off

Slow quotes lose customers

Every extra hour between enquiry and quote costs you conversions. Customers move on to the shop that responds first.

Quotes go cold and die

Most shops forget to chase expiring quotes. No reminder system means potential revenue quietly disappears every week.

The impact of getting it right

When quoting is fast and frictionless, you win more jobs and waste less time.
