Custom-tailored conservatories
Two thirds less back-office effort.
Quotation variants can be handled with far fewer queries. Because dimensions, specification and equipment are already available in structured form, costing starts with complete information instead of the first follow-up question.

Before / after
What changed in the business.

Automating the quotation process for conservatories
Starting point
With bespoke conservatories, terrace roofs and shading, survey, specification and equipment produce many quotation variants. In the business, queries and repeated coordination tied up valuable time.
How does a conservatory configurator reduce quotation effort?
During the project, several consecutive configuration steps were built that make customer information usable for internal costing.
Specialists check the prepared results and see the process through quotation and contract. Back-office time fell by about two thirds; at the same time, more enquiries from digital channels could be handled.

What entrepreneurs can take from this
Where every quotation is a variant, time is saved not by faster typing but by complete information before costing begins.
A mechanism, not a promise of results: the effect depends on your starting process.
