What software reads quote request emails and prices them?
Updated
SwiftSignQuote, done for you: pricing the quote requests that arrive by email, from the same price tables as your website, is calibrated for you during onboarding.
Many quote requests still arrive by email, and someone has to price them. Every one that waits is a buyer who might call the next business with a price.
The done-for-you automation platform for sign and print businesses: your customers price, order and pay on your own website, and we connect it all for you.

- The emailed price and the website price come from the same price tables, so they match.
- The bespoke work, a pylon, a cherry-picker install, a council permit, still comes to you.
- It is done for you: your price tables are calibrated for you during onboarding, and they are yours to own and adjust after go-live.
Why do emailed quote requests take so long to price?
Because they wait in a queue for the one person who knows the prices. Many quote requests still arrive by email, and someone has to read each one, work out the job and price it. In many sign businesses that person is the owner. Of the 50+ sign business owners we have engaged with, about half were the only person who could price a job.
While that person is on site, on the phone or on the tools, the emails wait. A buyer who wants a number today does not wait with them.
What does quote request email pricing do for a sign business?
It gets the routine requests a price without waiting for that one person. With SwiftSignQuote, every enquiry and quote lands on one board your team already watches, so nothing gets lost. Pricing the emailed ones from your own price tables is calibrated for you during onboarding.
The routine jobs get a price while the buyer is still interested, and the person who knows the prices gets their time back for the jobs that need their judgement.
Will an emailed quote match my website price?
Yes. The emailed quote and the website quote come from the same price tables, calibrated for you during onboarding, so the same job gets the same price however the customer asks for it. Prices that depend on who did the quoting cost a business trust and margin; see two estimators, two prices.
What still needs a person?
The bespoke jobs. A pylon, a cherry-picker install, a council permit still come to you, and they stop waiting in line behind the routine requests. Which jobs are priced from the tables and which come to a person is agreed with you during onboarding.
How does it fit with website quotes and tender packs?
It sits alongside them. With instant quotes on your own website, your customers price their own sign and the order lands on your board. With AutoTender, your team drops the tender pack in and a priced quote comes back.
Follow-up of the quotes that go quiet is calibrated for you during onboarding too. Our guide to quote follow-up emails covers why the quiet ones are worth chasing.
How is it set up?
It is done for you during onboarding. We calibrate your price tables and connect the inbox you already use, and your team configures nothing. Your price tables are yours to own and adjust after go-live. See what done for you includes.
