Automated Quoting System for Service Businesses

Why Manual Quoting Is Costing You Business

Speed wins in service businesses — and manual quoting is too slow

Research shows that 78% of customers book with the first business to respond. If you are manually calculating quotes and typing up emails, you are losing leads to faster competitors every single day.

Manual quoting is also inconsistent. Different quotes for the same job, forgotten surcharges, incorrect mileage calculations — these errors cost you money and damage your professional reputation.

An automated quoting system eliminates these problems entirely. Your pricing rules are applied consistently every time. Quotes are generated in seconds, not hours. And your customers get a professional, branded experience that builds trust from the very first interaction.

A Smarter Way to Quote

Intelligent pricing automation that handles the complexity, so you do not have to

• Rule-Based Pricing Engine

  Build complex pricing logic without code. Combine hourly rates, flat fees, surcharges, distance calculations, and add-ons into a single automated pricing engine that handles every quote scenario.

• Sub-Second Quote Generation

  Quotes are calculated and displayed to customers in under a second. No waiting, no refreshing, no follow-up calls. The price appears the moment they complete your form.

• Website-Embedded Forms

  Your quote form sits directly on your website, embedded with a single line of code. It works with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and every other website platform.

• Professional Quote Documents

  Every quote includes a detailed line-by-line breakdown — base charges, surcharges, add-ons, travel, and totals. Customers receive a polished, branded email they can accept online.

• Automatic Distance Calculation

  Set your base location and per-mile rate. When a customer enters their venue or job address, Valora calculates the distance and adds the travel charge automatically.

• Quote Activity Tracking

  See when customers view their quotes, how long they spend reviewing them, and track follow-up actions. Know exactly where each lead stands in your pipeline.

• One-Click Acceptance

  Customers accept quotes with a single click. No printing, no signing, no scanning. The accepted quote automatically converts to a booking in your dashboard.

• Conversion Analytics

  Track your quote-to-booking conversion rate, average quote value, response times, and revenue won. Make data-driven decisions to improve your sales process.

• Consistent Pricing

  Every customer gets the same fair, accurate price for the same job. No more guessing, no more accidentally undercharging, no more inconsistent quotes between team members.

How Automated Quoting Works

A three-step setup that saves you hours every week

1. Define Your Pricing Rules

   Tell Valora how you charge. Set base rates, hourly fees, per-item prices, occasion surcharges, mileage rates, and optional add-ons. Your pricing logic is saved as reusable rules.

2. Publish Your Quote Form

   Embed the form on your website or share a direct link. Customise it with your logo, colours, and branding. Customers can request quotes from any device, any time.

3. Quotes Generate Automatically

   When a customer submits your form, Valora applies your pricing rules and generates an instant quote. The customer sees the price immediately and receives a professional email. You get notified of the new lead.

From Quote to Booking — Fully Automated

Quoting is just the beginning. When a customer accepts their quote, Valora handles the rest of the booking workflow automatically.

Deposits are collected online via PayPal. The booking is confirmed and appears in your Google Calendar. Staff members are assigned and notified by email. An invoice is created in Xero or QuickBooks with the correct line items and VAT treatment.

The entire journey — from a customer landing on your website to a confirmed, paid booking in your calendar — happens without a single manual step.

• Instant quote generation from your website
• One-click quote acceptance by the customer
• Online deposit collection via PayPal
• Automatic Google Calendar sync
• Staff assignment with email notifications
• Xero and QuickBooks invoice creation

Works for Every Quotable Service

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is an automated quoting system?

  An automated quoting system generates instant, accurate quotes for your customers based on pre-configured pricing rules. Instead of manually calculating and emailing each quote, customers fill out a form on your website and receive a professional quote in seconds.

• How do I set up my pricing rules?

  Valora provides a simple interface to define your pricing. You set base rates, hourly fees, per-item charges, occasion surcharges (e.g. wedding premium), mileage rates, and optional add-ons. There is no coding required — it is all done through the dashboard.

• Can I handle complex pricing with multiple variables?

  Yes. Valora supports combining multiple pricing variables in a single quote — for example, an hourly rate plus a wedding surcharge plus mileage plus two optional add-ons. The pricing engine calculates everything and shows the customer a clear breakdown.

• How accurate are the automated quotes?

  Quotes are as accurate as the pricing rules you set. Valora uses your exact rates, surcharges, and formulas to calculate every quote. There is no rounding or estimation — the price the customer sees is the price you have configured.

• What happens after a customer receives a quote?
