Quotes & Estimates

Requests parsed from email, PDF, spreadsheet or a photo of a written list.

Every line is priced off live availability, current vendor cost and that customer’s discount tier. A quote inside your margin floors and approval threshold goes out as priced. Anything outside goes to your approver. Each quote is chased until an answer comes, and a no carries its reason.
