Step 4: Quote Estimation

This step allows you to generate an estimate, apply automation rules, or manually add line items.

Auto-Generate Estimate

  • Click Auto-Generate Estimate to let the system populate line items automatically.

  • If automation rules are set in Pricing Settings, the system will auto-add charges based on:

    • Job Type

    • Move Size

    • Inventory Volume

    • Other pricing configurations

Manual Entry of Line Items

If you prefer to enter charges manually, you have two options:

  1. Search for an Existing Line Item – Start typing in the Item Name field, and a dropdown will appear with predefined line items from settings.

  2. Create a Custom Line Item – If the item doesn’t exist, you can enter a new name and fill in the details manually:

    • Rate – Set the cost per unit.

    • Quantity – Define how many units the service is being charged for.

    • Unit Type – Select from Per Hour, Per Unit, Fixed Price, etc.

    • Tax – Apply tax (e.g., GST) if applicable.

    • Total Amount – The system calculates automatically, or you can manually enter the total.

💡 For Callout Fees, choosing Fixed Price ensures a set charge, while HR (Hourly) allows the system to pull job hours from the Job Sheet or Crew App.

Once all line items are added, click Submit & Close to finalize the estimate.


Step 5: Completing the Estimate

After adding the required services, choose how you want to proceed:

  1. Submit & Close → The system saves the estimate and redirects you to the Lead Summary Page.

  2. Save & Send Estimate → A side pop-up appears for sending an estimate email


Step 6: Sending the Estimate

When you click Save & Send Estimate, a side pop-up opens with:

  • Booking Confirmation Steps (if configured).

  • Estimate Email (pre-selected template).

📝 If Booking Confirmation Steps are enabled, they appear at the top, followed by the estimate email.

Reordering Confirmation Steps

  • Users can drag and reorder the booking confirmation steps before sending the estimate.

📝 The confirmation steps will appear in the same order the customer will see them when booking.

Selecting a Different Email Template

  • If needed, users can change the email template before sending the estimate.

Click "Send" to Send the Estimate
