Help/Quoting/Draft a quote from an enquiry email

Draft a quote from an enquiry email

Paste a customer's email and get a priced draft quote back.

What this is for

Most enquiries arrive as an email in someone's own words. Paste it in and Sign OS reads it, matches each item to your catalogue, and prices it through your own engine — then hands you a draft to check. It never invents a price: anything it cannot match to your catalogue is left for you.

Tips & gotchas

  • →It is a draft, not a sent quote — nothing goes to the customer until you send it.
  • →The more of your work lives in the catalogue as real products, the more of an enquiry it can match. Vague one-liners still need a custom line.
