The Brick Paving Industry Management Process

Step 1 - Schedule an Onsite Estimate

Whether the lead is generated from your website or the phone book, the first step of the streamlined estimating process is to schedule an onsite appointment with the prospect. A site evalutation is necessary before you can give a proposal. The customer's contact information can be created during the time that the estimate is scheduled and will always be available from within the system, never requiring to be inputted again.

Step 2 - Generate the Estimate Onsite

The EBS brick paving estimating software makes the process of generating an estimate very easy. So easy that eveyone in your organization can become part of your sales force. The salesman simply needs to enter the square footage and select which brick paver products to include and the estimate will be generated with all of the costs and profits calculated by the variables that the owner controls.

Step 3 - Print the Estimate Onsite

There is no longer a need to come back to the office to print out an estimate for a customer. Arm your salesforce with the latest in mobile technology including laptops with wireless internet and portable printers to increase their efficiency allowing them to bid more jobs throughout the day. Close the deal onsite within minutes before your competition even has an opportunity to bid on the job.

Step 4 - Schedule and Track Job Progress

You can also maintain all conversations with the customer via the internal notes section. You also have the ability to upload files relevant to the job, including drawings and photos of the jobsite and scanned documents such as order forms and invoices. All of this is done in a centralized location. This allows your entire company to view the job & all of its details simultaneously wherever they are. All they need is to login via a web browser and update at will.

After each payment is made a receipt can be printed showing the final balance due. This helps speed up payments and turns your entire organization into collections.

Talk about ROI, just the money you miss out on currently by not charging for that add on, or missing a payment will pay for the software 10 fold!
