ROI Impact
A facilities quote ready notification system automatically alerts managers when customer quotes are prepared and ready for review. It monitors quote status changes and instantly sends notifications via email, SMS, or app alerts with complete quote details, enabling faster approvals and improved customer response times.
How This Automation Works
Quote Status Changes to Ready → Manager Receives Instant Notification
Monitor Quote Status Changes
The system continuously monitors your facilities management platform, CRM, or estimating tool for quotes that reach ready or complete status. It tracks quote progression through your pipeline and identifies the exact moment when estimator input is finished and manager review is required.
Extract Quote Details and Context
When a quote status changes to ready, the system automatically extracts all relevant information including customer name, contact details, service type, scope description, line items, total amount, preparation timestamp, and any special notes or urgency flags that provide context for manager decision-making.
Determine Manager and Notification Method
Based on predefined routing rules, the system identifies the appropriate manager or approval team for the quote. It considers factors like service territory, quote value thresholds, service category, customer priority level, and current manager availability to ensure notifications reach the right person through their preferred communication channel.
Send Instant Multi-Channel Notification
The system immediately sends a formatted notification containing the quote summary, customer information, and direct review link to the manager via email, SMS, mobile app push notification, or messaging platform. High-priority or high-value quotes can trigger notifications across multiple channels simultaneously to ensure immediate visibility.
Track Response and Escalate if Needed
The system monitors whether the manager acknowledges or acts on the notification within expected timeframes. If no response is detected within the configured period, automated escalation sends reminder notifications or alerts backup managers, ensuring no quote sits unreviewed and customers receive timely responses.
How It Works
Transform your facilities management quote process with intelligent notification automation that instantly alerts managers when customer quotes require their attention. This system monitors your quote preparation pipeline and triggers immediate notifications through email, SMS, or in-app messages the moment a quote reaches ready status. By eliminating manual check-ins and communication delays, your team can respond to customer inquiries faster, improve approval turnaround times, and increase conversion rates. The automation captures critical quote details including customer information, service scope, pricing, and urgency level, ensuring managers have complete context for rapid decision-making. Perfect for facilities management companies handling maintenance contracts, renovation projects, equipment installations, and service agreements where quote approval speed directly impacts customer satisfaction and revenue capture.
The Trigger
The automation activates when a quote in your facilities management system is marked as complete and ready for manager review. This trigger monitors quote status changes in real-time, capturing quotes from estimators, proposal tools, or CRM systems. It identifies critical quote attributes including customer details, service type, total value, preparation date, and any special requirements or urgency flags that require immediate management attention.
The Action
The system immediately sends a comprehensive notification to the designated facility manager through their preferred communication channel. The notification includes the customer name, quote number, service description, total amount, preparation timestamp, and a direct link to review the full quote details. Managers can choose to receive alerts via email with embedded quote summaries, SMS text messages for urgent high-value quotes, mobile app push notifications, or messaging platform alerts, ensuring they never miss time-sensitive quote approvals regardless of their location.
