The situation

Lisa runs a painting business doing residential and light commercial work. Quoting should've been straightforward — but it wasn't.

Every job required:

  • room measurements
  • surface prep estimates
  • paint and materials
  • labour calculations

She'd quote, then re-quote when the customer changed scope.

The pain

  • Constant re-quoting ate into her time
  • Scope changes weren't priced properly
  • Margins eroded on "small additions"
  • Customers expected the original price regardless
"I'd quote once, then spend hours adjusting it."

The switch to QuoteOS

Lisa built a pricing library with:

  • rates per square metre
  • prep work pricing
  • paint and materials
  • standard labour rates

Now she describes the job and gets a complete quote — changes are easy to adjust.

The transformation

  • **One quote, done right** the first time
  • Scope changes priced automatically
  • Faster customer approvals
  • Protected margins

The human outcome

"I'm not re-quoting the same job three times anymore. It's done properly from the start."
