Your estimator's time goes on pricing, not chasing.
The Quote Desk logs, checks and chases every enquiry, with drafts you approve, and hands your estimator a one-page scope sheet. More quotes go out, and none sit unseen.
What changes for you
Pricing, not admin
Logging, checking and chasing are done before an enquiry reaches your estimator, so their time goes on the work only they can do.
Every enquiry arrives ready to price
A one-page scope sheet for each one: what is asked, what is known and what is still missing. Every enquiry is logged with a due date the day it lands.
Missing details chased the same day
Each enquiry is checked against your trade checklist. If a drawing or measurement is missing, the chase is drafted that day for your approval.
You see the numbers every month
A one-page monthly results report with six numbers, from minutes per enquiry to jobs waiting on you.

Questions
Who sets the price?
Your estimator. The desk gets each enquiry ready to price. It never prices.
What do we need to change?
One forward rule from your enquiries mailbox. Approval emails need no login. On Microsoft 365, your admin needs to allow external forwarding; we confirm this on the fit check.
What if we get more enquiries than our fee covers?
We agree a price with you first, before anything changes.
Do you use AI?
Fixed rules for your trade do the checking, and each chase starts from your reply templates. AI helps draft, only after you have accepted the data processing agreement. Nothing goes to a customer until your person has approved it.
Which trades do you cover?
Made-to-order manufacturers. Checklists are ready for GRP, timber frame, industrial doors, shopfitting and joinery. For any other trade we build your checklist with you during set-up.
Can we try something free first?
Yes. The free Quoting Starter Kit takes five numbers from a typical month and emails you a report on the work that never gets priced. The Quote Desk set-up builds its own checklist.
Is there a minimum term?
No. The monthly fee is month to month.
