How This Automation Works
Modernization Request Submitted → Professional Quote Document Generated
Capture Modernization Request
Customer submits inquiry through web form, email, or sales team entry. The system captures building address, current elevator details, desired improvements, timeline requirements, and contact information. Data is validated and missing information is automatically requested.
Retrieve Equipment and Building Data
The system queries maintenance records, equipment databases, and building permit systems to gather historical information about the existing elevator installation. This includes original specifications, previous upgrades, maintenance history, and current condition assessments.
Calculate Compliance Requirements
Based on building location, current codes, and elevator age, the system identifies mandatory upgrades for ASME, ADA, and local code compliance. It determines which components must be replaced, updated, or certified, and flags any grandfathered exemptions.
Generate Equipment Specifications
The system matches customer requirements with available equipment options, considering capacity, speed, finishes, control systems, and energy efficiency. It retrieves current pricing from supplier databases and identifies compatible components based on building constraints.
Calculate Labor and Project Costs
Using historical project data and current labor rates, the system estimates installation hours, required permits, building protection costs, and project management time. It factors in building access limitations, work hour restrictions, and any special engineering requirements.
Assemble and Format Quote Document
All components are compiled into a professional proposal document including executive summary, equipment specifications, itemized pricing, project timeline, warranty details, payment terms, and ROI calculations. The document is branded and formatted according to company standards.
Deliver Quote and Update Systems
The completed quote is automatically emailed to the customer with a personalized message. Simultaneously, the CRM is updated with the opportunity details, the sales team is notified, a follow-up sequence is triggered, and the quote is archived in the document management system.
How It Works
Elevator modernization quoting involves multiple variables: current equipment age, building codes, capacity requirements, accessibility standards, and component availability. Manual quote generation requires engineers to review site assessments, cross-reference equipment catalogs, calculate labor hours, and coordinate with suppliers—a process that can take days per quote. This automation transforms that complexity into an instant process. When a modernization request is submitted with building details and current equipment specifications, the system automatically retrieves relevant equipment options, calculates compliance requirements, estimates labor and materials, applies current pricing, and generates a comprehensive proposal document. The result is faster response times, consistent pricing accuracy, and the ability to handle higher quote volumes without adding staff.
The Trigger
Activates when a building manager, property owner, or consultant submits a modernization inquiry through a web form, email, or CRM system. The request includes current elevator specifications, building details, desired upgrades, compliance requirements, and project timeline.
The Action
The system produces a detailed modernization proposal including equipment specifications, compliance certifications, itemized cost breakdown, project timeline, warranty information, and financing options. The quote is automatically formatted, branded, and delivered to the customer while simultaneously updating the CRM and notifying the sales team.
