Quote Follow-Up
Most shops send a quote and wait. AI keeps track of every open quote, drafts the follow-up in your estimator's name, and asks why when you lose one.
Where it goes wrong
A quote rarely gets lost in one day. It slips away over a few quiet weeks, one small miss at a time.
Sample quote
Quote for Ostrelle LabsOctober
Days nothing happened
The quote went out, and a whole week went by with no follow-up on anyone's calendar.
Grace asked how soon you could ship. Her email sat for almost a week while the estimator was out.
Someone planned to call her, then pushed it back twice for rush jobs.
Grace bought from another shop, and nobody asked her why.
How AI handles it
It keeps watch, writes the emails and asks why you lost. Nothing goes to a customer until someone on your team sends it.
AI reads the emails on each open quote and sorts it: waiting on you, time to follow up, or waiting on the buyer.
It writes each one in your estimator's name, from what's in the quote. Your estimator reads it and clicks send.
When a buyer says no, AI drafts a short note asking what decided it. The answer gets saved with the quote, so over time you see why you win and lose.

Yes. If your drawings or customer files are under an NDA, we sign one before we see anything, and we only see what you choose to show us. For defense work, the AI can run on a computer in your building.
