ALKAN Services · Estimate systems
Estimate requests that arrive with everything you need
"How much does it cost?" with no photos, no address and no measurements steals time from you and the customer. A well-built estimate request system collects the right information from the first contact, so you call back already knowing what the job is about.
01
What a well-designed request collects
- Job location: city and county within your service area
- Type of work and scope: what the customer wants, in their own words and with guided options
- Project photos: the customer uploads them from their phone
- Timing: when they want to start and how urgent it is
- Trade-specific questions: measurements, materials, site access — what you always end up asking by phone
02
You review. You decide.
The system organizes the information; it does not quote for you. Every request is reviewed by a person in your business before any response. The final estimate, the price and the decision to take the job are always yours. There are no guaranteed automatic quotes.
03
Integrations matched to your real scope
Depending on what your business needs, the request can arrive in your email, a tracking sheet or connect with the tools you already use. Integrations are defined project by project — we do not promise automatic connection with every CRM or WhatsApp for all clients.
04
Follow-up without losing customers
- An orderly record of every request: who, what, where and when
- Follow-up reminders so no request goes cold
- Automation only where it truly saves time — not for fashion
05
Confirm area, scope and next step first
For a business serving King, Pierce, Snohomish or Kitsap, city and county help review coverage before asking for an exact address. Allow customers to say a measurement or material is unknown. The contractor verifies scope, job requirements and whether a visit is needed; an intake card does not replace inspection or professional approval.
Simulate a request card — Try fictional data and a draft pending review, with no real messages sent.

Try it before you decide
See the working demos we already built: CONTRACTOR PRO for roofing and remodeling, FORGE for welding and fabrication, and LANDSCAPE AI for landscaping and exteriors. They are demonstrations, not paying clients.

Straight answers.
Does this review activate the system or message my customers?
No. The current ALKAN form requests a review and does not attach photos, schedule visits or connect your CRM. The office demo uses fictional data and sends no messages. Fields, attachments, notices and integrations for your business require an agreed scope and verification before use with real customers.
Does the system give the customer a price automatically?
No. It collects the information and delivers it organized. You prepare and sign the estimate.
What if the customer cannot take photos or fill out forms?
The flow is designed for phones, step by step, in Spanish or English. And if a customer prefers to call, the call button is always visible.
Does it connect with my CRM or my WhatsApp?
It can connect with the tools you already use, depending on the scope we define. We do not promise automatic integrations for every case; we review it in the proposal.
Do I need a new website to have this?
Ideally it lives inside your site, but we review it against what you already have. In the initial review we tell you what makes sense in your case.
