A two-line email becomes a costed draft, priced off your own rates

Nothing goes out without you.

The draft waits, you change what is wrong, you press send. What changes is when: the business that replies first usually gets the job, and this turns a Monday reply into a Thursday evening one. It reads a short, vague enquiry, works out what is being asked for, prices it against your own rate card, and writes down every assumption it had to make.

Being built

What this one will do

Enquiry to quoteNot built yet

Enquiry to quote does not run on this page yet.

It will read a two-line enquiry, price it off your own rate sheet, and hand you a costed draft to edit rather than a blank page.

Two things work today.

  1. Watch the receipts demo.

    Different paperwork, same machinery: documents in, fields read off them, a sheet out, and anything unreadable flagged instead of guessed.

  2. Send us one enquiry and your rate sheet.

    WhatsApp it to +27 73 932 6852 and we send back what comes out of it, usually the same working day. Your paperwork, not our sample.

20 minutes, screen share, your own documents. No slides.

01

Send us three real enquiries and your rate card

WhatsApp them to +27 73 932 6852. Three enquiries you actually received this month, short and vague as they came in, plus your price list in whatever state it is in. We send back the drafts the same working day.

If your margins are commercially sensitive, black them out and give us the sell prices. The drafts still work.

Email: [email protected]. Or call the same number and spend four minutes telling us how you price, which is usually enough for us to say whether this suits you.

02

What goes in

Two things.

The enquiry. An email, a web form, a WhatsApp message pasted in. Short and imprecise is normal and is exactly what we test against.

Your rate card. However you keep it. A spreadsheet, a price list PDF, a supplier tariff, the day rates in your head that you type out once. This is the part that makes the quote yours rather than generic.

It also uses your last few sent quotes, if you share them, so the draft comes out in your layout and your wording instead of ours.

03

What comes out

A draft, not a sent document.

  • The line items, priced from your rates
  • The total, with VAT handled the way you handle it
  • Your standard terms, validity period and payment terms
  • An assumptions block, which is the part owners end up liking most: every gap the enquiry left, spelled out. People assumed. Dates assumed. Exclusions assumed.
  • A flag when the enquiry is too thin to price, with the questions worth asking back

The assumptions block matters because it shows you where the draft is guessing. You correct three lines instead of rereading the whole thing.

04

What the example demo will show

This one does not run on the page yet. When it lands, it will go like this.

01

Read the sample enquiry

Six sentences, one of which contradicts itself on dates.

02

Look at the sample rate card

A short tariff sheet for a fictional tour operator.

03

Run it

The draft appears with eight line items and four assumptions listed.

04

Read the flagged bit

The date contradiction is not resolved silently. It is raised, with a suggested question to send back.

Label on the page: Example demo, sample data. Swap the tour operator for a plumbing firm or a printer and the shape does not change.

05

Thursday evening versus Monday morning

Today

The enquiry arrives out of hours. You read it on your phone and mean to deal with it tomorrow. Tomorrow has its own fires. It goes out Monday, by which time two competitors have replied and one of them has already had a phone call.

With this running

The draft is waiting when you next open the laptop. Your editing is ten minutes instead of forty, and the reply goes out the same evening.

We are not going to quote you a conversion figure, because we do not have your numbers. What you can check yourself in ten minutes: how many quotes you sent last month, and how many of them went out within a day of the enquiry landing.

06

Running it on a bigger batch

Three by WhatsApp needs nothing from you. A proper batch goes through a secured session, opened the way the demos page sets out.

Your files are deleted within seven days.

07

What a build costs

This one is an agent, priced as a subscription.

Implementation is free for a standard build. A complex one, with pricing logic that carries a lot of exceptions, is quoted before we start, so you see the number first.

What the agent doesA month
A simple agent: one job, one format, one destinationFrom R1,000
A standard agent: several formats, your own rules, writing into two systemsFrom R2,500
A heavy agent: high volume, many exceptions, several people relying on itFrom R5,000

A quoting agent that takes enquiries from several places, applies your own pricing rules and writes into two systems is a standard agent, from R2,500 a month. High enquiry volume with many exceptions is a heavy agent, from R5,000 a month.

Rate card updates, new services and wording changes are covered by the subscription. Nothing extra to buy when something shifts.

It is month to month. You own your data and the process map stays yours, and you can stop any time.

One thing that costs us the job and is worth saying anyway: if your pricing depends on a site visit or a judgement call every single time, a properly built price list will beat this and cost you a tenth as much. We will tell you that on the call, not after the deposit.

08

What this demo does not prove

  • It does not prove the quote is right. It proves a draft can be produced fast from thin information. You are still the person who signs it.
  • It does not know your negotiation. The client you always give ten percent to, the job you price high because you do not want it.
  • It does not yet pick the enquiry up from your inbox or web form on its own, or log it in the one tidy place where your customers and jobs live. That is the getting-your-tools-talking part, and it comes before the AI in a real build.
  • Pricing with many dependent variables needs a proper look before anyone commits to a number.

The numbers, in one place

  • Free to implement a standard build; a complex one is quoted before we start.
  • Then a monthly subscription: from R2,500 a month for a standard quoting agent, from R5,000 a month for high volume with many exceptions.
  • Rate card and wording changes are covered by the subscription.
  • Number in writing before anything starts.
