How This Automation Works
Security Inquiry Received → Professional Quote Generated and Delivered
Capture Project Requirements
When a prospect submits an inquiry form, completes a site assessment, or a sales rep enters project details into your CRM, the system captures all relevant information including property type, security needs, desired equipment, monitoring preferences, and special requirements. Data validation ensures all necessary fields are complete before proceeding.
Calculate Equipment and Materials
The automation analyzes project requirements and selects appropriate equipment from your product catalog. It retrieves current vendor pricing, calculates quantities based on coverage needs (zones, camera views, access points), includes necessary accessories like mounts, cables, and power supplies, and applies your configured markup formulas to determine customer pricing.
Estimate Labor and Installation Costs
Based on project complexity, property size, and equipment types, the system calculates installation labor hours using your defined rates and historical data. It factors in site-specific challenges like building type, wiring requirements, height restrictions, and travel distance, then applies your labor rates and overhead multipliers to generate accurate installation costs.
Apply Discounts, Taxes, and Fees
The system applies any relevant promotional discounts, volume pricing, or customer-specific rates. It calculates applicable sales taxes based on location, adds permit fees if required, includes monitoring activation charges, and incorporates any additional service fees. All calculations follow your business rules to ensure pricing consistency and desired profit margins.
Generate Professional Quote Document
Using your branded template, the automation creates a comprehensive PDF quote including itemized equipment lists with specifications, installation breakdown, monitoring service options, warranty coverage, payment terms, project timeline, and company information. Multiple quote versions can be generated automatically offering different service tiers or equipment options.
Deliver and Track Quote
The completed quote is automatically emailed to the prospect with a personalized message, logged in your CRM with all details and tracking enabled, assigned to the appropriate sales representative, and scheduled for automated follow-up. The system monitors quote engagement, sends reminders before expiration, and alerts your team to prospect activity for timely follow-up.
How It Works
Transform your security business quoting process with intelligent automation that generates comprehensive, accurate quotes instantly. When a potential client submits an inquiry or completes a site assessment, the system automatically calculates costs based on equipment needs, labor requirements, monitoring services, and installation complexity. Pull real-time pricing from your vendor catalogs, apply tiered discounts, include tax calculations, and generate branded PDF quotes with equipment specifications and service terms. Integrate with your CRM to track quote status, send automated follow-ups, and convert estimates into signed contracts. Perfect for alarm systems, surveillance installations, access control projects, and integrated security solutions. Reduce quote turnaround time from hours to minutes while maintaining pricing consistency and maximizing profit margins.
The Trigger
Activates when a lead submits a contact form, completes a site survey, requests a custom quote through your website, or when a sales rep enters project requirements into your CRM. Can also trigger from scheduled security assessments or existing customer upgrade requests.
The Action
Creates a detailed, branded security quote PDF including equipment lists, installation costs, monitoring fees, warranty terms, and payment options. Automatically emails the quote to the prospect, logs it in your CRM, schedules a follow-up task for your sales team, and tracks when the quote is opened or downloaded.
