IllustrativeA real run on one job note. The generator is tuned to each business: your data, your formulas and your price book set the numbers, and the descriptions and presentation are drafted in your company’s style.
Every quote waits in a queue.
Every quote waits on whoever holds the numbers: an estimator with a backlog, or a senior person who should be doing something else.
Each one means pulling up old jobs to copy prices, recalculating materials, finding the right labour rate and hoping no line got missed. It’s slow, two estimators price the same job differently, and a missed line comes straight off your margin.
So winnable jobs sit in the queue, sales can’t give a client a date, and good leads go cold waiting on a price. The work is fine. The quoting in front of it is the bottleneck.
Three steps to a quote you can send.
From a job description to a checked quote in your job system, without retyping anything.
Describe the job
Type it in plain language, pull it from a Fergus job, or say it. “25m2 natural stone paving add excavation | 20LM timber paling fence 1.8m | 18m2 pine deck.”
The system prices it
ArcQuote maps the job to your price book, applies your formulas and margins, and builds itemised lines with quantities, units and rates.
Check it and send
Adjust anything you like, then send it from your own system. You stay the one who signs off every price.
Built around how outdoor jobs are priced.
Per square metre, per lineal metre, per hour. The logic is set up once for your business and applied the same way on every quote.
