How This Automation Works
Customer Service Request Received → Professional Quote Document Delivered
Capture Service Request Details
Customer submits service request through your website form, phone system, or booking platform. The system automatically extracts service type, lock specifications, location, urgency level, and contact information from the request.
Calculate Labor and Material Costs
The system references your pricing database to determine labor hours based on service complexity, retrieves current parts costs for required locks and hardware, calculates travel time and mileage fees based on customer location, and applies any urgency or after-hours surcharges.
Apply Pricing Formulas and Margins
Automated calculations apply your configured profit margins to labor and materials, add applicable sales taxes based on jurisdiction, include any service fees or minimum charges, and calculate total project cost with itemized breakdown.
Generate Professional Quote Document
The system formats all pricing information into your branded quote template, adds service descriptions and specifications, includes payment terms and accepted methods, incorporates warranty information and terms, and assigns a unique quote reference number for tracking.
Deliver Quote and Enable Response
Quote is automatically sent to customer via their preferred channel (email or SMS), includes clear acceptance options and booking links, logs the quote in your system with status tracking, and triggers follow-up reminders if no response is received within your configured timeframe.
How It Works
Transform how your locksmith business handles quote requests with intelligent automation that generates professional, accurate estimates instantly. When a customer submits a service request through your website, phone system, or booking form, the system automatically calculates labor, materials, travel time, and service complexity to produce a detailed quote. The automation pulls current pricing data, applies your margin formulas, includes applicable taxes and fees, and formats everything into a branded quote document. Customers receive professional estimates within minutes instead of hours, dramatically improving your response time and conversion rates. The system maintains consistency across all quotes, eliminates calculation errors, and ensures every estimate includes all necessary line items and terms. Perfect for emergency lockout services, rekeying projects, lock installations, and commercial security upgrades where speed and accuracy directly impact customer acquisition.
The Trigger
Activation occurs when a customer submits a service request form, calls your business line, sends an email inquiry, or schedules through your booking system. The system captures service type, location, lock specifications, urgency level, and customer contact information to begin the quoting process.
The Action
The system generates a complete, itemized quote with labor costs, parts pricing, travel fees, service complexity adjustments, applicable taxes, and payment terms. The quote is automatically formatted with your branding, sent to the customer via email or SMS, and logged in your system with a unique reference number for tracking and follow-up.
