Quotes and estimates

The customer sends a 30-page estimate, someone copies it line by line into Excel, and the quote goes out three days later with overheads added from memory. When the customer accepts, the order gets typed in all over again. The Quotes and estimates module keeps the request, the estimate, the price and the customer's answer in a single file.

What you can do with it

Included functionsOFR · 10
  • The customer's estimate, read automaticallyYou upload the estimate you received as a PDF or a photo. The lines are extracted on their own, split into materials and labour, and matched to the items in your catalogue.
  • Quotes built from product and labour linesEach line has the product or service from your master data, the quantity and the price. Labour rates come from the service catalogue.
  • Overheads built into the priceThe company's indirect costs are applied to sets of lines, so the quoted price covers them.
  • Versions and comparisonWhen the customer asks for another option, you create a new version. You see them side by side and know exactly what changed.
  • Drafts and templatesRecurring quotes start from a template, with project variables you fill in only once.
  • Acceptance by linkThe customer gets the quote by link, downloads it and accepts or declines it online. The answer shows up on the quote straight away.
  • From request to deliveryIn the Veziv ERP a quote follows a 13-step flow: after acceptance come the advance payment, procurement, production or packing, the delivery note, shipping, the invoice and delivery, each one visible on the quote.
  • Expiry alertEvery quote has a validity date. When it passes without an answer, you get a notification and know whom to call.
  • Requests from the websiteRequests filled in on your website arrive directly as working quotes, with no copying from e-mail.
  • Foreign currency at the BNR ratePrices in euro are calculated at the day's BNR (National Bank of Romania) exchange rate, fetched automatically.

A day with the module

An example from a company that uses it.

  1. 08:30 · A 30-page estimate

    A ventilation contractor in Cluj receives a builder's estimate for an industrial hall. They upload it and the lines come in already split: 212 for materials and 64 for labour.

  2. 10:00 · The price, with overheads

    The estimating engineer adds catalogue prices and labour rates. The company's overheads are applied per set, with no separate calculation in Excel.

  3. 12:00 · The customer wants another option

    The builder wants cheaper ductwork. A second version is created, and the price difference from the first one is right there on screen.

  4. 15:30 · The quote goes out by link

    The customer gets the link, downloads the PDF and forwards it to the project owner.

  5. 09:00 · Quote accepted

    The next morning, the customer clicks “Accept”. The quote becomes an order and lands in Sales with all its lines.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of estimates can it read?

Estimates as PDFs or images, with lines for materials and labour. The lines are separated automatically and matched to the items in your catalogue.

Can the customer accept a quote without calling us?

Yes. They get a link where they see the quote, download it and reply. The answer shows up on the quote, and an accepted quote becomes an order.

Can we keep our own quote layout?

Yes. The PDF is generated from your template, with your letterhead and your terms.
