Quote & Estimate Automation

Quotes out in minutes, not days.

In most service businesses, the first acceptable quote wins. If a request sits in your inbox for three days while a competitor answers within the hour, the job is gone before you've even opened your pricing spreadsheet.

Zeitwerk builds quoting systems for businesses across Toronto and the GTA that read the inbound request — from email, web form or call notes — apply your real pricing rules, and draft an accurate, branded quote ready for one-click review. Routine work can go out automatically; anything unusual is flagged for a human first.

Serving Toronto, Vaughan, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Richmond Hill and the rest of the GTA — on-site or remote.

Where quoting breaks down

  • Quotes take days because pricing lives in one person's head or a fragile spreadsheet.
  • Requests arrive by email, phone and web form — and some simply fall through the cracks.
  • Estimates are inconsistent: two staff members quote the same job differently.
  • Follow-up on sent quotes is sporadic, so warm leads quietly expire.
  • Busy seasons create quoting backlogs exactly when you can least afford them.

If any of this sounds like your operation, it's not a staffing problem — it's a workflow that was never designed to scale. That's what we fix.

How it works

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path: understand the workflow first, then engineer the automation around it — never the other way around.

01

Capture your pricing logic

We document how you actually price work — rates, materials, margins, minimums, the exceptions — and turn tribal knowledge into explicit rules.

02

Build the drafting engine

The system reads each inbound request, extracts the details that matter, applies your rules and assembles a complete, branded quote document.

03

Add review & approval

You choose the guardrails: quotes can go out automatically for routine work, or queue for one-click human approval — with anything unusual clearly flagged.

04

Automate the follow-up

Sent quotes get polite, scheduled follow-ups until they're accepted, declined or expired — so no warm lead dies of silence.

Built for teams that quote to win

  • Trades, contractors and home-service companies
  • Wholesale, distribution and equipment suppliers
  • Professional services pricing scoped engagements
  • Any GTA business competing on response time

Frequently asked questions

How does the system keep quotes accurate?+

It only applies pricing rules you've approved, and we build in guardrails together: anything outside normal parameters — unusual scope, missing information, non-standard pricing — is routed to a person for review instead of being sent blind.

Our jobs are custom. Can this still work?+

Yes — that's the typical case, not the exception. The system drafts the structured majority of each quote and flags the judgment calls for you, which still turns a days-long process into minutes of review.

Does it integrate with our CRM or accounting software?+

We build against the tools you already use — CRM, accounting and email — so accepted quotes flow into your existing pipeline instead of another disconnected app.

What does quoting automation cost?+

It depends on how complex your pricing logic is and what we integrate with. We scope every project individually — book a free consultation and we'll map your quoting workflow and give you a clear recommendation first.
