In practice
How the quoting work gets done
Import your price list
Hand over your website and price list as a spreadsheet, CSV or PDF. DoneQuote builds the account and emails you when it is ready.
Upload CSV, Excel or text; the import wizard matches your columns. Max includes help migrating customers, job history, equipment and the price book.
Review a drafted quote
Describe the job, paste a request or attach a photo. Check the drafted scope, quantities and prices before sending; missing prices and AI estimates need your review.
Pick Price Book items or enter custom lines. “Write it for me” uses those lines to draft the customer-facing summary.
Let customers choose packages and optional extras
Offer packages and optional extras on the quote. The approved version records the customer’s selection, so you can refer back to the agreed work.
Customers choose estimate options from an email or text. The visual Sales Proposal Tool is included on Max or added separately to other plans.
Collect the details for a quote
On Business, customers answer follow-up questions in a chat on your request page. A complete request can become a draft quote for your review.
Online booking collects appointments. CSR AI supports customer conversations and booking; its 24/7 call-answering service is paid.
Hi! What can I help you with?
Facade cleaning for our office, about 1,300 sq ft.
Got it. Should the fascia boards be included too?
Great. Could you add a photo of the facade, and the address?
